LGR Thrifts - Episode 32

Dude! Clint! Thank you for making these Thrifts videos! Last year I was bedridden with a knee injury and these videos helped give me a sense of movement and exploration. They definitely quelled some of my misery, so I'm very grateful, and that's why I became a backer today.

I hope to see more LGR Thrifts :D Also ome Oddware episodes as you got a load of quirky stuff from people sending your awesome but quirky stuff :D

I have a postage scale just like that little scale you found! 1968 Park Sherman :) Same design but the plastic on the side is black, and the labeling/turnywheel are in ounces and price for 1st class, airmail, 3rd class by weight. It's a cool little gizmo.

Ahh, this makes me miss living in a place with real winter! Nice Thrifts episode.

Mintaka

The best birthday gift! sweet!

It's been a while since I have been thrifting. It makes me want to go out again. Although, I swear you find better stuff than I do. Even if Goodwill is trying to take people to the cleaners on some stuff. Do they remember that it is a thrift store? oh well.

Ms. Pac-Man and Thunder Force II?? great finds yo! Im sure Mark from Classic Game Room would be proud! =P

Marcus Zertuche

Yep, there's a corrected version of this video going up right now actually :)

LGR

That wasn't a Power Mac G5 in the beginning, it was a Mac Pro, likely a model 1,1. I got mine for about $150, but it wasn't spec'd as well as the one seen here and is in worse physical condition. Depending on when you look, the old 2006 Mac Pro systems will go for as little as $150, as much as $250.

Evangeline Domenech

Haven't gotten it working yet!

LGR

oh man.. that little tiny tape recorder... so awesome! Did it end up working?

Evan B

Haven't gotten the recorder working yet, but yeah; it's just a stellar design for the 60s

LGR

Nah, I'm actually taking time *away* from LGR stuff for a little bit to recoup and see some friends I haven't seen in a while :)

LGR

Clint, are you pre-filming early March for going to PAX East?

neuroflare

Yes indeed, seems to be working great! Even the bulb above the VU meter is still functioning

LGR

Nice finds, I really love the Equalizer! Have you managed to test it out yet?

ReeseRiverson

Seeing as they were ALL sealed, I do wonder if like, a local Scientology chapter or something just up and quit.

LGR

They're not common for me either, so it's always a treat :)

LGR

Never played either one so I'm curious!

LGR

Was in the 70s here as well! This footage was filmed a while ago, as usual for this series :)

LGR

Correct! I'll fix that line.

LGR

Nice snow. It was 82 degrees here yesterday.

Zabe

Rallisport Challenge is such a great game, but i prefer the second game in the series as it has more cars, tracks and event types.

Dan Milner

"Shut up dog I'm not bothering you!" Haha! Good episode today.

Matt Cain

Thunder Force II! That is a sweet find - I'm probably in the minority, but I loved the overhead stages there (a lot of fans kind of don't, and are glad they were ditched for the third and subsequent games). That pocket recorder looks very lovely - regardless of whether it works or not, pretty stylish for its time, I'm sure!

Rob Caporetto

"Shut up dog, I'm not bothering you." - The perfect response when you're adjusting your camera next to a Goodwill employee.

avfusion

Same!

I noticed the Mac to the right of the imac, is actually an early Mac Pro, by looking at the connectors on the back, how they are arranged, for one the power connector is at the bottom of the back on actual G5s. Also the general I/O is spread across 1 vertical line.

Thunder Force 2? That's a good one. Game Sack approved for sure. :P Also, I'm quite jelly over whoever found that TurboGrafx 16.

The Enforcer

Man Clint, in my six years of game collecting, you know how many Genesis games I've come across at Goodwill? Zero.

Someone just woke up from his 10 years of scientology and was like "ohh...what happened...just get all of this stuff to goodwill".

Another great episode! :D
