Yesterday at the "Little Friends" resale shop...

Onkyo CR-245BT for 25 bucks. Yes...it's just a mini system, but it's about the best mini-system in performance and simple design I've seen in a long time. And the speakers are, IMO as good, if not better than Minimus 7's or Optimus Pro 77's. Nice piano black finish. Sounds great.

I'll probably put it up on eBay.

I've been hitting a couple of thrifts maybe every other week, and have seen very little. The best I have seen is a small set of BIC Venturi that I passed on.

Regards,

Just purchased this one for 59 euros. 1969 Sharp MPX-37.

The tiniest receiver I have ever seen. Two WPC! I will put it on my Kenwood Eleven G and take a picture when I received it...

The complete set - receiver and the speakers - is extremely rare.
