January 2014 thrift store adventure 

50 bucks for a crappy GX270 that likely needs new caps. They need to rethink the word thrift in the name of the store.

I actually own the same type oscilloscope! The difference being another brand name and model number. Besides that, 100% identical. Funny how things can be identical and still have different names. A lot of nice stuff as well in that store. Makes me wish places like that would exist where I live.

Well I'm moving to new Jersey, thrift stores around my area never have stuff like this

oscilloscope was a mighty find, nice 👍

If this were my thrift store, me and that scope would be heading for the checkout lane pronto. That Yorx speaker is as good as it gets at the thrifts around here.

$40 for that CRO? Wow, that is awesome! I wish I could find one of those here, since mud wasps destroyed my current CRO (their wet mud nests shorted HV through some of the more delicate components inside it).

Those 20Mhz oscilloscopes area almost always sold for for less than $50. They are often the low-end models when it comes to typical bench analog scopes. $40 is not a bad price, but what determines whether or not you should buy it is if you can get the documentation for it. Without proper documentation, doing the calibration procedure for the scope can be a bit difficult, not to mention that doing repairs in the future may also be difficult.

wow $40 for a 20Mhz scope, you could put that on ebay and double your money. Very hard to find anything online for that price that even works.

Wow, the JVC tape deck was almost exactly the same as the one I found when I bought the VCR. Interesting to see an oscilloscope there - that'll never happen here. The transfer case for an '86 F-250, maybe, but never an oscilloscope. lol. Nice find of the Eveready Commander lantern; I'd like to get one someday.

The oscilloscope was a bargain, I would have bought it as a second scope. Interesting stuff.

That Yorx speaker at 2:54 looks like something poopoogarret would blow. Or smash. Or both.

4:25 -- It's the Encyclopedia Obsoletica!

If I was there I would have bought that Dell dimension. I had a similar model with a Celeron and Windows XP. My childhood brought back!

I really like when you try all of the buttons, even if it is disconnected. I do that myself on the stores...lol!

What brand scope was that?? Did you buy it ?? Gary G. ~~ from You Tube

Wow that place was selling a burnt cd? pretty low of them if i say

wow they sell pirated music to wow

Is that the unique store in union nj on route 22 the first one by the dollar tree?

is this thrift store within 200miles of Wisconsin, id drive there just for that cheap of a scope

I wish my goodwill was this interesting.

40$ for a working 20MHz oscilloscope, i'm sort of jealous that you guys can get these things for such a low price.

The bootleg music CD was amusing but not surprising. I found bootleg Playstation games at a Goodwill once. Even weirder, one of them was Thrill Kill, which was never legitimately released because it was stupidly violent.

York, that takes me back to my childhood.

The OptiPlex GX270 is my favorite Dell tower design.

Dang, I really need an oscilloscope too.

You guys are working hard at hoarding and then putting the experience on RU-vid,with respect, thanks for the belly laff.

if i were there i would have bought the oscilloscope and the dell keyboard.

Is there any sales tax when you buy from the thrift store ? (I know you didn't buy anything shown)

It's a pity you didn't buy that Dell keyboard because it's a real Alps made by Alps in Europe and not by Silitek in South-East Asia. It also has beautiful PBT dye-subbed keycaps that don't turn yellow over time.

What thrift store is that? Theres one (salvation Army) about 45 mins from me but it doesn't have much that's really good but I did find an eyeclops TV Microscope. And I have one of those wowee amps. And my cousin had one of those eveready fluorescent flashlights.

nice scope those old 20-60mhz scopes are useful to have, if you have a modern computer based scope and analyser you cant do higher voltage repairs(example tv flyback etc), so one of those make a nice addition, i build custom one off pc's for a living, but for a hobby i build and repair radio's and metal detectors, an analogue scope is essential for setting up and testing pulse induction detectors, due to high flyback voltages, so even if you have a good pc scope you still need an analogue one and a set of 100x and 1000x probes.

Woah! I have the same oscilloscope except it's a different brand and it's in new condition but cost me $160... It's a great scope!

Good price on the scope.

dell keyboard was easily worth 3 bucks.ALPS switches right?

Wow, that thrift store is like being in the disposal cupboard at work, apart from it's all free!! :o) On a side note, at the thrift store today, I found a marantz tape player from 1985, the performance of which, blew me away. I will have to dedicate it's video to you when I do it :o)

My grandparents have that same exact silver JVC cassette deck. I also have that same exact black Dell PS/2 keyboard, but not the beige one that has the original Dell logo.

Can you make a Thrift store adventure 2015 video? :)

if you are into any old electronics would you know anything about old tubed guitar amps

The Miata poster would be a nice troll gift for bhtooefr hehe!

Some cool little tidbits there... the thrift stores around here have been pretty uninteresting lately, although I did pick up some cool stuff this past month. Imagine how horrible it would have been if you bought the Miata poster and it didn't fit in your car? Oh well, I guess you could have re-donated it again LOL.

The prices there aren't so bad...you wouldn't believe some of the prices we have here in our thrift stores.....I've run across a Durabrand DVD player for $80 w/in the past 2 or 3 months......for $80, I can get a Sony Blu-Ray player! (not that I buy Sony products besides PlayStation)

Eww, GX270s...nice machine though. I had one but it died right then and there due to bad caps on the motherboard. I heard they're all prone to bad caps from that era.

never seen an oscilloscope at a thrift mart, but i did just score a technics amp and a sansui tapedeck a couple days ago

I have one of those lanterns. I use it to light the room in the wee hours on mornings I go to work because a regular lamp is too much light for my not-awake eyes.

What the bugger was that $2.99 thing near the end?

that thrift store looks familiar... do you live in new jersey?

Is this the Unique thrift on 22 in Union/Springfield? Some of that stuff looks familiar.

I wish my local thrift store was this interesting.

what the differance between those two dells so that ones $50 and the other is like 15?

I am pretty sure that 3 dollar dell keyboard was the ibm model m rebadge that they made

seems kind of high for those dell PCs im guessing there p4's

That Sony Mavica looks like it might of been a step up from your current camera. Haha. Kidding.

***** I bought that keyboard. goput.it/50z.jpg I had a "HOLY $#!&" moment when I saw it in the video. I have a friend in the general Lake Hopatcong area with a 100wpm average that enjoys the feel of Alps switches very much, so I always pick her up any AT101's when I see them. still waiting for those ever-so-rare Alps Pink switches to show up in any, or the elusive black AT101W to show up.

don't you just love the sound of a keyboard clicking.

I want some of whatever the pricers are smoking, because 50 dollars for a pentium 4 computer isn't worth it.

did you end up buying that sony camera that takes floppy disks?

I'm pretty surprised that you didn't buy that Dell keyboard.

1:20 what is that? The actual thing he was using

That thrift store is massive.. I wish I had thrift stores that sell electronics in the UK.

Wow, a dell dimension 4300 for 14 bucks, for the longest time I used one, I got mine brand new in 2001 with windows me (shudders) I put xp (xp wasn't out yet when we bought it) on it later

Wow, that thrift store has an intriguing habit of pricing everything so that the price is "$X.99"!

Would you ever buy an oscilloscope?

50 dollars for a GX270?

Wow please do more of these videos

Please tell me you bought that $14 Windows 2000 desktop PC

Heck alot of that stuff you cant find in Connecticut. Well goodwill I mean. Records tapes and 8 tracks. But I hate it when kids damage it also not to mention some parents I swear let them do it. Damage record players etc. Although my first computer was a Pentium 3 goodwill find. But it had everything. Except disk. For Windows95 so upgraded to 98 se ran that for eh 2006 to 2008 when I built my asus I gotta get that running again. Replaced cmos battery last year after making sure everything disconnected. I took memory out to be overly precautionary and all I had was a red light when power on no beep nothing. Im replacing power supply cleaned board cause had dust. Hopefully get it back running. For a 2.5 gb memory 1.8 ghz sempron amd 939 socket and 320 gb hd sata with 8500gt nivida graphics card it was a fast . Computer. My Toshiba laptop with dual core processor I 3 I think it called. Is slightly slower but is a 2012 plays some games but desktop blows that out of the water

$50 for a GX270? Jeez, I got a 260 for $20 and even then I could have probably gotten one for free!

Hey VWestlife. I believe you did a fine job making & editing this video for RU-vid. I really & truly like it. :) If I do get back to making any RU-vid videos, I would at least try to not have any music in the background. I've never added any background music on any of the videos I've done. I totally respect RU-vid's copyright policy. What do you think about that? :) What do you think RU-vid may think about that? :)

They are really optimists with those prices lol

listen to miley rocking in the background lol

A Dell at101 a rare find!

you 'mericans are spoiled for choice, i just find used straighteners and coffee machines.

You have a nice thrift store!

4:43 thats a paper jamz speaker for the paper jamz guitares

I have that exact cassette deck.

LOL....pirated Beatles album at a thrift store...

That keyboard was VERY old, ha.

I saw something high school musical in the beginning!

Some groovy stuff here..

The only electronics the thrift stores near me have are broken clock radios. :(

MUST----HAVE----MIATA-----UGH! *dies*

Dimension 4300s go for up to $200 on ebay. Ridiculous.

kind of expensive there here the cameras cost like 3 eur

3:50 that keyboard is a buckling spring keyboard

0:16 Ooh, Mazda Miata

that is one expensive keyboard

that oscilloscope is a very good considering new they are around $2,000 dollars new us maybe a little more and wild unexpected bill can always use another dell optiplex or two lol He would love you for it love your videos

U didn't even show your finds.

MILEY CITRUS THE CLIMB

I love the Sony Mavica! I hate how my thrift stores rarely have anything nice and when they do it is very over priced.

What silly pricing ^__^

Unique FTW

yorx speakers *shudders*

those computers are a rip off you can find the same thing at a yard sale for free or very cheap those computers are now worth 40$ their kind of old.

Kewl
