Hello from Michigan,

in the late fall I ended up going to an estate sale 8 miles from me, saw some good altec lansing speakers, Im like got anymore electronics? shes like let me show you the garage, turns out it was my odl hs electronics teacher. He ran the local tv/electronics repair shop out of his garage, they were gonna scrap it all.

I gave her some cash cleaned out the garage, filled my jeep twice. she was happy and she was gonna call me in the spring when they do the basement.

My grandpa was a dow engineer, could fix anything. I got one of his old heathkit scopes here next to his jukebox. I learned alot about electronics repair from him.

heres an album of what i all got

That IIRC Panasonic top load knob tuned VHS VCR interests me. You got a couple of other interesting things there too.

EDIT: You mentioned Jukeboxes, what era?

Hi my friend,
I see the Panasonic VCR.:tresbon:
It is picture number: 2675
I have the same as an european version/I am in Germany.:yes:
It was my first VCR and the first in my street in 1981.

I want to ask you, if you like to sell me the RF-converter.:ntwrthy:
It has to work on channel 3 and 4/black switch.
It is hidden behind a black lid you have to move to the top direction at the back.
Can be pulled at the handle.

I should prepay with Western Union.

Many thanks in advance!
