  • All the items featured in this edition of Risky Thrifting were purchased at thrift stores, so it is hard to tell if things will work or not! For Risky Thrifting Vol. 6, I test out 10 more of these thrift electronic items. If you would like to play along, feel free to pause and comment just after the 4 minute mark! You can guess how many items will work, or be more specific about what will or will not work!
    Items tested include:
    Sony CFD-S300 Portable Stereo with CD and Cassette Recorder
    Optimus CTR-105 Portable Cassette Recorder
    Westinghouse LD-2240 22" LCD television
    Pioneer DV-696AV-S All Region DVD Player with remote
    Sony SLV-N55 4 Head HiFi VCR with Remote
    Kenwood GE-55 12 Band Stereo Graphic Equalizer
    Logitech WingMan Extreme Joystick
    Blue Snowball USB Microphone
    Realistic 33-1070B Dynamic Microphone
    Arrco Playing Card Shuffler

    Although some stuff was bust, on balance you came out on top. Which is the important thing 👍 Very entertaining video. Cheers, Dave.

      These segments are time-consuming but fun... and so are the shopping trips where I acquire these treasures!

    • @DavidHarry

      Yes, these types of videos are very time consuming. I do similar ones every now and then where I go through guides on PC stuff, replacing parts etc. Or my modification videos. I really appreciate the time taken for videos like this one 👍 Cheers, Dave.

    Those late 90s/early 2000s era Sony VCRs seem to be a really solid machines. If I recall correctly that model isn't actually made by Sony (maybe Samsung?).
    I think it would be cool to do a follow-up maybe at the end of the next Risky Thrifts, to mention if you got any of your past broken thrifts working.

    • @ThriftyAV
      @ThriftyAV  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good to know. I've owned a model near-identical to this one before, but gave it away to someone who had a bunch of tapes but no VCR. The picture looks pretty good.

      Thank you. These videos are fun, but sometimes take awhile to "restock", especially when thrift store inventory is picked over. I might start hitting more garage sales instead.

    I enjoy your risky thrifting segments...I myself do the same thing and sometimes I can check stuff in the store, sometimes not...interesting to see what your results are with these continued episodes...keep em up!

      I talk about some checks you can do in-store in a different video. It might be time to bring up that topic again.

    snowball micophone: it might have a few issues relating to its quality but theres a good chance it will still be usable
    realistic microphone: it looks like it might work pretty well, it does look a little plasticky but it otherwise looks pretty good
    small cassette recorder: looks very cheap and probably has an issue, still not as cheap as that micky mouse player
    modified DVD player: it may work, but i feel like something may have gone wrong with that PAL modification that will come back to bite
    jambox: probably works, but only to the extent it was tested, and the note does not specify if there are issues or not
    22 inch TV: i would think it would be broken but based on the monitors i’ve seen im just not sure
    hifi VCR: looks simple compared to other players/recorders, not as much that can go wrong. i’ll guess that it works
    equalizer: i think it will work, but something is telling me you are going to get a very loud high pitched squeal
    joystick: it looks pretty much fine to me
    card shuffler: it may have an issue like corrosion or getting jammed but i think it might be fine

    the cassette recorder might just need new belts. the tv would be good for just testing vcr's or dvd players

      I bought a variety pack of belts awhile back, and I've been meaning to do a belt changing vid. Not sure if this Optimus will be the featured cassette recorder, however.
