- I wrap up the Receiver Wars story...But then I make an INCREDIBLE garage find that would make any enthusiast freak out! You will not believe your eyes either. Please watch to the end...What a dilemma!!
The big question: Is it actually real? Please like and share.
Thanks to NJ the valuable help with this.
I have a Patreon page available if you are interested in supporting my channel: / myowndevices
imagine opening the boxes and finding some books or toys inside xD xD
She was planning to goodwill the lot but she thought enough to let his mom know and offer to have him take a look. If she was giving them away anyway I’d take what’s good and possibly offer her something for her generosity.
call conversation sound like a clip from a really bad budget movie 😂😂
I found a pair of AR3s in a widows garage that she gave me for doing a little repair work. But I had to have the woofers reconed, pots cleaned, and crossover recapped so they weren't really free! But I like them for classical music better than my JBL 4313s, so have them set up as a "system B" on my Marantz 7013 receiver. Rears are Dynaco A25s. All vintage, like me!
I would check out whats in the boxes first.Just 'cause the names on the outside..........
What happened in the end to the monster receiver garage find, as I cannot see a update on it I know this is two years ago just be interesting to know. Phil from the moulin France.
so, what happened? tell us the rest of the story.
::: I'm still waiting for "part 3"....?????????????????????
You are most fortunate man on the face of the Earth. The boxes alone are worth a fortune. But you should tell her, of course; it's the right thing to do,. You would always regret it if you didn't.
If you're having a moment of conscience, you already know the right thing to do..
Part 2? please
Wish I could find a garage with that lot in it.
YES YES YES! I too, have been saying for years that the well made HiFi gear back then was not merely 'mid-fi', as so many think! Some of the hefty 'boat anchor' Fishers, Pioneers, Technics, and Onkyo receivers i've owned, truly sounded amazing, and were built like a tank. I even drove a pair of Magnepan MMG speakers with my current Pioneer SX-780, and the sonics were quite high-end. We're talking timbral accuracy, inner detail, sweet midrange, ample bass, shimmering highs, etc. ..... many of the attributes that are ascribed to high end sound. I've been checking out many of your videos today, and am subscribing!
I got my eyes on Pioneer sx 1980. The Godzilla of receivers. I had a 9090. I miss it. 33000 22000 aren't receivers.
Just collected the monsters and no speakers?
where is part 2 man lm starting to wonder whats going on ?
I`d kill to find a garage like that..but you must tell her what she has,she probably knows,or at least suspects anyway.
So what did you do I didn't see part 2 and I watched a bunch videos have you got a link? Did you make video?
Ya I'm wondering what happend as well. So many questions unanswered.
Apparently the son saw his video and grabbed the stuff.
I read more comments down lower. Apparently the son took the stuff the next day after watching the video :(
Just waiting for the rest of this saga.
Haul all of it out of there as fast as you can. Go over all the models and keep the finest one for yourself, and sell the rest, and give her a fat check out of the blue. She will get the same feeling you had when your eyes met these beauties. She doesn't need to know too much, just that she is richer than before. Not implying ripping her off, just both of you make out very well.
Just because an ad on ebay asks for a ridiculous sum, only an idiot would pay it.
Honesty lasts the longest, and is often rewarded.
Assuming all the gear is really there, and in good condition, I conservatively estimate these would fetch $30K on Ebay. Perhaps more. The owner does not realize they are sitting on a gold mine. Perhaps you could help sell the items for the owner in exchange for keeping one of them?
So far ive not seen even one piece of gear. Most likely there are just old books in that cases.
I would let her know and offer to sell them for her in exchange for keeping one? I would definitely want to try one of each.
play it straight and work out a percentage of sold price for handling it etc..
I would have been shaking too.
Even with the son taking them away, I would've tried to get my hands on that 2600.
I would have went for the Pioneer first also., SX-1980 , I got that feeling in my stomach when I saw the box ....
No doubt! That is the best of the bunch!
I would have taken the Marantz 2600. I have one only as a parts machine that I picked up. Great channel. Keep the good videos. I have also a technics sa 5760 and a yamaha 3020. Its fun going to yard sales and finding stuff. This area has pretty well dried up.
Wow, what a gold mine of receivers!! My heart and breathing changed state when I first saw the Sansui G22000. Wow! I'm still shaking writing this!! My moral barometer says to tell her what they're worth. But my audio addiction wants it all for myself - lol. But if she is comfortable financially, she would just say take them off her hands. After all, better someone like you take them, who appreciates them and will take care if them, than the salvage folks that will be coming. Good luck. Relax. It's a good dilemma to be in, as many don't get the chance!!!
Please be honest and tell her
Abso fraggin lutely.
work out a fair play. sell the other pieces and keep the one you like most as commission.
You seem very knowledgeable. I had a receiver in the early 70s, possibly Panasonic, I don’t remember, but it had a wired remote on a 10 or 15 foot long cord. I can’t seem to find any info, I remember it had a blue display and the remote controlled the radio tuner which used a motor to tune in the radio stations via the remote. If you can find any info I would be great full. Wish I had kept it, it would probably be a museum piece now.
I would use them to make another video! Get on with it then!!
In reality the 300 w/ch Sansui 33000 put out more power than the Technics 330 w/ch due to it's higher current capability especially into low impedance loads and on dynamic bursts where it exceeded well above 500 watts. The Technics only managed a little more than 330 watts into any load and also on peaks was well below Sansui's 33000. Since it came in two pieces, some argued the Sansui was not actually a receiver even though it was listed as such.
Definitely cheating. Thanks
My Pioneer SX 434 from 1974 does have 3 ic's
I'd just go get the camera to pan over what I'll never in a million years see again in one place.then start wiping the drool off my shirt as I stumble over the yard sale items in my way to grab my cash lol.
What I would do is to tell her that there is a small segment of the population who would absolutely flip out about those receivers, and that I am one of them. I'd tell her that in their current unknown condition they are probably worth hundreds of dollars, maybe even thousands. Then I'd tell her I'm happy to take it all away for nothing. Finally, I'd ask her if I were to sell any of it, would she want to share the proceeds? In my experience most people respond to that with, "Just get it out of here." The other possibility is that they want to know exactly how much is worth and then they want you to leave so that can call whoever they think will give them that much plus more because they are sure you underestimated. A month later they call you back offering to sell it all to you for more than you said it was worth, or just the broken items that someone else wasn't interested in.
I haven't seen how this ends. I'm eager to find out.
Perfect rundown of the typical process
I would say mostly the same things.
Need to explain to nontechnical people that given the age of the items, they would need triage and inspection/testing, and probably restoration work.
So they need to be valued in the un-restored (Caps/corrosion/etc) condition.
All this requires effort and time, reducing their value even more from their unrestored values, which amount to "for parts" value.
Hauling the items away is work and therefore has value, so the best compromise is to assume for parts values and if that's about the haul away/cleanup cost, call it a day. Maybe a couple of token $20's depending on exterior condition of items
The woman on the phone sounds like she is reading from a script. Doesn't sound real at all. Bad acting. Doesn't mean it's not true. This could be are-enactment of an actual event, but he should tell us that if true.
because she is.
I scored a mint Pioneer SX-850 at a garage sale in my neighborhood around 2013 or so for $20. Other than typical scratchy switched and pots, worked fine. Sold it a coupe years later to a pawn shop for $200 or so, assuming it needed a recap/internal restore.
SInce a full electronics restore/recap would run ~$400-$500 with shipping, figured that was a fair profit ;)
PLEASE TELL ME THERS A PART 2!!??
I own a few monsters; in fact I am listening to one now. Just cause you have more wattage than you will ever need; does not mean you have to push it every time. Mine is currently hooked to a pair of JBL bookshelves. Why? Because the phono stage in the main event in mine. It very happily pushes those bookshelves and one day I will get it setup with some Klipsch K-horns. I hope you told her the truth. If I were you; I would have wanted to buy all on that shelf. But the reality is you can only listen to one at a time. Choosing the one that best suits your taste is key; restore the rest and sell them on Ebay. So many folks are looking for those models; you could split the profits with her and she would be thankful.
We need the rest of the story...what happened after the video ends
The subject for a future video! Thx
@@MODAC Dave - we are waiting with bated breath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@franktwardoch4370 Her son watched my video and hauled it all away...
@@MODAC Dang..............hope he gave you the option of buying one of them for a good price!
@@franktwardoch4370 Nope. Don't know him very well.
I would of blacked out after using that.
I think the only way to go is a good high current 200 watt per channel. Back in the 70's I did have a really high end Marantz receiver. I wish I still have it but I moved on to more high end stuff. I really don't care for a receiver anymore or an integrated amp. I like nothing but components... I have to laugh. My garage is stuffed with a lot of old audio equipment. I kept all the boxes...Just like this.
So no followup?
Obviously, you have to tell her......., at least 10 grand sitting on that shelf......tell her you'll broker the deal in exchange for one of the receivers.....
Hi , YES BUT WHAT to the large number of AMP in the garage, ??????????? PHIL FROM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOULIN FRANCE
Tell her the value and help her sell them.
Her son watched my video and hauled it all away a few days later. Please subscribe. Thanks, Dave
And ask for a 20% commission on each sale.
Hey yo, enough is enough! Are you going to tell us or should I call the police?
Hello from June 2024. No, he is not going tell/show us what was in the boxes. Because that's all of his junk in his garage. And the box graphics have been print out onto paper then stuck on. I'd guess that the whole piece is just a ill formed satirical attempt
A dilema? Why?
Did this “event” come to a conclusion? Video coming?
Her son saw my video and hauled it all away a few days later.
David Cutter too bad you didn’t get a chance to do some unboxing with him as that would be a very exciting video and given the current prices of that stuff hard to replicate if you had to buy it. Hopefully it found a good home or at least nets Nancy some cash.
I just saw the video...I hope her son was looking out for her.
Pay a fair price by your knowledge
and have no guilt or be normal and pay as little as you con
I have a mint "Sony STR 7035L" Stereo Receiver dating from around mid 1970s, built in Japan but assembled in West Germany I believe, as it has also the Long Wave (LW) band in addition to FM and MW so a three band Receiver. Bought it in 2003 for around £68.00 ! and in Pristine condition fully working order. Not selling it and not in use the last couple of years but like looking at it !. But as for comparing it with a modern mid fi stereo amplifier costing around £700.00 or so, the Sony is not as good, Great Tuner though. New cost would have been around £130.00 so comparable in cost of say £700.00 at todays values. My first HI FI Magazine was "Audio" (British publication) from December 1973. and has a Sony Catalogue printed inside but doesn't show this model. out of the Thousands of HI FI mags bought that is the only one i kept! and the Sony Receiver is the first one owned in all that time.
I have a mint condition Sansui Model 5050. 33 watts per channel. 75 bucks!
I recently picked up a Sansui 881 for $100. 60 wpc. Needed some new caps and LEDS. Please subscribe. Thanks, Dave
@@MODAC I subbed awhile ago.
@@MODAC Please subscribe what in the world
Holy shit Heart attack time.
I'd tell her. Guilty conscience if not. Borderline theft is what I'd think. Perhaps tell her and strike a deal for one of those 22000's.
Wow, I love nerdy stuff
these are HILARIOUS receivers, some of them .. you can totally see why the high end stuff took over in the early 80s!
Just take it all, that's exactly what I would do, and of course say thank you
Tell her the truth and offer her help to sell it for the real price. I´ll bet you are allowed to keep one for your own. But do you want to own one? Would´nt you sell it ? I would, I am pleased with my amp. Anyway, behave nice and straight, we watch you! And your mother, too!! (-;
Son took it all away.
Liar! No one is that lucky
Me, lie?
l get it you took the lot and now of course you cant make a part 2 :-)
This whole thing is staged.
So staged!
What makes you say that?
@@MODAC 1, the phone call was obviously scripted. 2, Nobody has that type of stuff just sitting on a shelf in their garage anymore, (if ever) plus, you didn't even bother to open the boxes??? Could have been filled with bricks! You know the saying: pics or it didn't happen!
Her son watched my video and took them all away. Oh.well.
star buy opening the box
and learn how to build a Class A you could make 50K$ by monobloc
I wouldn't have said anything. I would have said they ain't worth much.
The acting is so hilariously bad
lol yeah
Total fake. Unsubcribed
Just having some fun. Lighten up dude.
