Default Karma must be shining today..

So this morning I joined this forum to get help with Vintage radios...

Went out before lunch to get shopping and a new lino for the bathroom, and also decided to pop into a local junk shop that I go in very occasionally.

Hidden under some shelves, with it's back pointing out was an old TV set.

As I started to investigate it I knew I may just have to buy it....

Sure enough on closer inspection I recognised it ( bear in mind I am only 44? ) as a vintage Hitachi. One may parents had had 30+ odd years ago.

The "TU-75" was to be mine.

The guy wanted £20 ( I had not even tested it, nor did I really care)

I also found an Amstrad GX-4000 console so I offered £30 for the pair...

Then found a nice and very stylish Yamaha PC-100 synth, he said £15...

Offered £40 for the lot and he accepted..


Got home, plugged in the TV and it came to life, Plugged in the GX-4000 and that worked and we played a quick game of Burnin Rubber.


The Amstrad and Yamaha are not for keeping and I recon will recoupe ~£90

So my classic TV will have cost be -£30.... Awesome.
