[@frankierodriguez8661]

Dude, this is one of the very very best videos you ever did. Your buddy/relative is the perfect match for it and i did feel like a kid again about to find something really special. A wonderful feeling . My favourite piece is the tube radio or whatever it is with the magic eye and the totally crazy analog presets. If you make that thing work again, that's a win win and I hope you will let us know. Thanks brother. Much love as always from West Spain!!❤

[@ThatGuyWithTheBeard]

Thank you and this is only the beginning!

@@ThatGuyWithTheBeard I'll sure as hell keep an eye on all of that my man

Those APC units work well for trickle chargers for larger batteries and can still provide automatic switchover on power fail. I drill holes in the side of them, extend the wires out to large batteries and call it good. Not trash to the right people.

Fun video, glad no one got hurt testing everything!😃

Only victim was the Klipsch speaker haha

I’ve been ordering bulk cassettes and CD’s from Goodwill. Awesome video!!!

[@ThatGuyWithTheBeard]

Thank you!!

[@djm5k]

Despite very few devices working, the entertainment aspect of going through the pallet and finding the contents was well worth the $20.01. The costly part will be properly disposing of the bad and broken items legally.

[@kittyfanatic1980]

You should never power up old radios without a variac

[@JohnScheppler]

Best Unboxing on KZbin! That tube amplifier was well worth the $20, I'd easily pay twice that for it, which would then double your money.

[@ThatGuyWithTheBeard]

Yeah for sure! Thanks John, hopefully more in the future!

[@dilbyjones]

Lol

[@mddawson1]

All the paper wax caps in that tube radio will need replacing.

[@maynard5492]

Never knew goodwill did this , no wonder stereos have vanished

[@introvertedotaku2135]

that sound dock alone is worth like $200

[@CajunReaper95]

I remember the days of limewire and iPods! 😂

[@demarcuscousinsthe65th]

Yeah when you got a virus every after 3 downloads

[@obedjimenez2624]

You are suppose to connect speakers before you turn on tube equipment or you will burn the transformer.

[@demarcuscousinsthe65th]

Man you guys are such a vibe! ❤❤😂

[@bblimediamostlyspeakers]

That was pretty epic. Unboxings are fun but this was a huge box! even if most of it doesn't work, I'd say you got a good deal.

[@ThatGuyWithTheBeard]

Thanks what was your favorite item?!

[@bblimediamostlyspeakers]

@@ThatGuyWithTheBeard Tough question, might have to re-watch. I might say the white/ yellow bose radio. In working condition, they're halfway decent. There was soo much bose!

Lenny... you have all the fun!!!

More of this madness to come hopefully

[@codebeat4192]

Be aware of polarity when plugin DC connectors into early Japanese devices like the Sanyo, the polarity can be swapped! Shield is plus and the pin in the center is minus. Most of those devices are not protected against wrong polarity. Actually it sounded like an AC-AC adapter was used in the video instead of an AC-DC adapter. If you don't know the origin and history of a device, it is always a good idea to check the power specifications, voltage, ac, hz, dc, polarity before plug it in. But, where do you get such pile?

[@ThatGuyWithTheBeard]

What was your favorite thing we unboxed?? Let me know in the comments!

[@alanross99]

Probably the klipsch powered speakers. Can you use them non-powered if those boards are fried?

[@Justwantahover]

11:09 This looks so much like my first reel to reel! It was in the late 60's early 70s. I used to record songs from a small transistor radio and listened to them over and over. One song comes to mind...'I Like Games of Love'. Don't like snakes and ladders, don't like snap, I like someone on my lap!

[@davidmcdowell8107]

HAVE THAT RICHOCHET GAME CHECKED OUT ASAP!!!

[@MichaelLivingston-me]

The large vernier dial box is a receiver which probably is for short wave radio

[@oxfamshop]

The bose ipod dock needs the bose remote control to work volume control

[@JoeJ-8282]

Yep, stupid design, just like most other proprietary BOSE crap! LOL!

[@ScubaDude1960]

I was hoping it was a box of 8-track players, but I'm a mean person.

[@coastguyd]

actually you are totally wrong on the apc ups. you can buy inexpensive replacement battery for much cheaper. i have revived a couple of them for much less than what they sell for.

[@mitchelldavidson9911]

im so jealous of your garage.. it would be a win for me even if nothing worked.

[@stevengagnon4777]

Pull the cord is a good technique for getting (Technics) stuff buried in a dumpster ouy. Thst is how I got my Technics SL-7...working too , I am using it now. Those were productivr dumpsters at my apartment complex cool stuff would show up after people moved out. Yeah a Technics SL-1200 mkII and SL-1300 unfortunately the 1200 needs a new lower tone arm bearing as it wss completely missing . I'll find a way to fix that eventually. For now the little close"n"play puts a smile 😊 on my face after I put a record on, close the lid and press play. Even have the brush mounted on the Stanton L747S so I don't need to clean the record most of the time.

[@marcparsons1726]

Reminded me of Brandi and Jared. Who's got the nice cans?

[@ThatGuyWithTheBeard]

I don’t know who they are!? 🤣

[@ashylarry1589]

I’m not trying to be the asshole at all but you bought the pallet and it was brought out to you with the top wide open. How could you not know at least some of what’s in it before it hit your truck bed?

[@madcrabber1113]

I bought Definitive towers and subs and all crapped out. Good luck.

[@edricjr7930]

This reminds me of Dumpster Diving in the back of the local Radio Shack back in the day! 😋😁I have a working Bose 321 1st gen (2001?) which I use in the bedroom & is attached to the TV via Optical (No HDMI) 😳 and Component video input. Other than the proprietary connections between the sub \ head unit \ & speakers, my only other regret with the system are the proprietary speaker connections that won't let you upgrade just the speakers to something better 🤬🤬 . . . so I'm afraid that this 20+ year old unit is destined for the dumpster when it finally fails. 😔

[@thinkIndependent2024]

You can make Bose cords from Amazon parts ,But Always fun

[@Podus81]

The Bose acoustic wave is worth the most out of the first haul.

[@HopperRox_Shaves]

Dude that was my first video game set the Telstar unit, Handball, Hockey and Tennis. The ball was square.

Where can you go to buy this type of stuff

[@gbresaleking]

I wish I could order a box like this!

[@DeVoN420zz]

why why is it packaged like that and most likely all scratched and damaged/broken even news paper or just wrapping each item in a shopping bag or wrap would be ok

[@ThatGuyWithTheBeard]

I get it but to have to unwrap everything would have been a pain to me

i almost suscribed to the channel , but i live in south america , and 20 dollars is not even the price of the cheap plastc walkman in Argentina ,,,, so good for you guys , but for me , it is like going to dysneyland and can't get into any ride ... super frustrating ...

[@JoeJ-8282]

​@@218marylandYep, I've pretty much totally boycotted Goodwill because of their corporate practices and greed, and because they basically just used "Covid" as an "excuse" to get rid of 25% discount Monday's AND ALL other discounts, and even though the pandemic is over already, they STILL haven't brought any kind of significant discount back, plus they charge too much for many items, especially since they "claim" to be a "non-profit" organization, AND they literally get EVERYTHING they sell for FREE, from donations from mostly rich people! It's totally ridiculous that they don't give better deals to their customers anymore, especially since they can literally price their stuff at ANY price point and still make something off of it, since they get ALL of the things they sell for FREE!!
