Thrifted: Episode 1 | Found WX Radios!

Welcome to my new series, Thrifted!
I plan to film every outing to a thrift store I go to, and if I find anything, I will put it into a video!
Today was pretty short as we only went to 2 stores compared to our normal 5. However, next time that will change and the video should be much longer!
Radios found:
Emerson Research CKW2000 - Version 12
RadioShack 12-262 - Later model (2008)
Realistic 12-240
RadioShack 12-250 x2
iLuv iPod Dock + WX Radio
Locations visited in this video:
Goodwill - 5609 W Main St, Kalamazoo, MI 49009
Goodwill - 411 W Milham Ave*, Portage, MI 49024
*Listed as "Milham Dr" in video, sorry for any confusion!

You found two of my dream radios I need 😩

[@minnesconsinsirens6803]

Your luck is insane. In all, all weather radios I’ve thrifted are: RadioShack 12-250, midland wr10, weather station not weather radio just cool find, midland wr300 broken tuner for weather, Emerson instant weather thing and a desktop acurite and I got the Emerson and acurite today.

I would love it if this series does continue. I think it's a great experience seeing if you can find interesting things to show on video. It kind of makes me thinking about doing the same too, but my Goodwill's and other Thrift stores don't have much of an "electronics" area. Keep up the good work! :)

Thank you! I noticed that not all goodwill 'organizations' per-say are created equal. Last month I was up in Hudsonville and went to a store, and it was laughable. Half of the things in that store were brand new- hardly any of it was donated. But I do plan on going up to the grand rapids area sometime this summer. I highly recommend you go to them just in case you get lucky! I didn't think there would be anything until I started going to more and more stores and discovered that there's a really good chance of finding stuff!

@@KalamazooEAS you actually should have gotten the iLuv radio, it's pretty rare, and that one does have WX Alert

[@NorthTexasEAS]

Nice I’m planning to do the same! Only problem is some of my goodwills in my area don’t have much a electronic section in their stores. But otherwise, nice finds!

[@So1]

I'm sad that you didn't ever make another episode.

[@KalamazooEAS]

I stopped finding things. I legitimately have not found a radio in about six months.

[@CalebtheAnimaterIhateLukhansa]

I found 3 in Goodwill First: Midland WR100 Second: RadioShack 12-260 Lastly: RadioShack 12-250

[@Earth_Number_12]

We need more

[@CentralVirginiaEAS]

Hey! One time I went to a goodwill and found a iLuv!

[@wolfepup02]

damn the only radios ive thrifted are a wr300 v3, a wx27, and a BUNCH of v3 wr100s aswell as a v5

[@radiosnmore1225]

the only radio i found at a thrift store was an Eton/Grundig FR200 (Does NOT have weatherband)

[@MarlboroCountyEAS2024]

Yes do more please

[@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens]

2:27 I found one at a goodwill in Minnesota but whenever I try and use it it doesn’t respond to button presses, please can someone tell me how to fix it???

[@Earth_Number_12]

Wow the Emerson is so rare I actually got a RadioShack 12-240 from a goodwill

[@RobertsExtras]

Me too, mine was $1. how much was yours?

[@Earth_Number_12]

2 dollars

[@RobertsExtras]

@@Earth_Number_12 ok

[@RobertsExtras]

@@Earth_Number_12 also the CKW2000 isn't rare per say, it is uncommon is more like it

[@EASsirenVids01]

Ah cool! Was this inspired by me?

[@SirensOfTheMidwest]

Bro I havent thrifted any radios and ive been looking for some any tips?

[@KalamazooEAS]

Not really, it's all a big game of luck. I haven't found anything notable in over a year. I used to be able to almost gurantee I'd get one radio every time I go out, but I haven't had luck like that in a while. Last couple I have gotten over the past two years have been a WR300, 12-261, and some weird GPX thing that I hate.
