Thrift Store 78 rpm Records Discovery and Some Cool $1 Bin Record Finds

Taking a break from console and turntable restoration to go out to my favorite local haunts to see what I could find. There are a slate of thrift shops near me that still take in 78s though they are few and far between. I haven't had a day this good in quite some time, I was beginning to lose hope.
Persistence paid off! How often do you find an EX quality Chess 78 in a thrift shop? And for $.50? I even found some cool $1 lps at a local record shop that I'll bring to school so that the kids can play them on the turntable in the fall. It ended up being a pretty good day costing only around $22.

I like your presentation, and thanks for showing the 3rd track of that Spinners LP
I found it for 25 cents nearby. Great Johnny Winter picks as well ! 🎵

very cool to find Eartha Kitt on 78's how do you clean them ?

[@agarso]

If you look through my videos here you'll see the one where I use an ultrasonic cleaner that I picked up on Amazon. If you're only cleaning a few then just use a plastic bristle brush in the sink using warm water and dish soap
