I know this model. It's ~30 years old, can make a decent shot. This particular one didn't smell, looked clean enough, had all parts, powered up, but decided to leak coffee powder everywhere once I got it home. Pump doesn't prime but I think it should be an easy fix, the pump makes the normal pump sound. Worst case I need a 30$ gasket kit and a weekend of futzing around. Not bad huh?

I saw it when it came out and only remember that I thought it was pretty good. Maybe I'll watch it this weekend.

A good find this afternoon I think. 10$ for these two, and Strangelove is in a metal jewel case thingy. Pretty good.

Less than $15USD for all of it. Only $3.99 for Oblivion and $2.99 a piece for the CDs.

Luck be what luck is and luck was good.

Star Trek The Motionless Picture through The Undiscovered Country plus The Captain's Summit for 7.50$. That's decent

Not me! Maybe not the best selection, there were more Warner Brothers discs, infamous for bit rot (it's real, even their regular DVDs die prematurely), I passed on those. I have a few and they are all dead.

[For those who don't know, HDDVD was the HD format that lost the format wars of the early 2000s. There are very few readers any more out there. The XBOX 360's external reader is one, the Toshiba machines are the others. I have both!]

Pretty lame I guess but this is pretty fancy and looks like unused and unopened. It really slowly, smoothly AND silently opens up.

Now to find magneto-optical disks.

All 6 seasons with 6 still sealed. Nostalgia, baby. I miss the '90s!

A real horroshow Bluray

A nice hat trick for today. I happened to be there when they were bringing fresh meat to the shelves. Picked 'em right off the cart. I mean "The Prisoner"? Come on now. Cosmos 2014 on Bluray?

Hey for 4$ who can complain? Each disc is immaculate.

It's like new. I guess I'll have to start playing games now, does Solitaire support joysticks?

C'est rare que je trouve des séries Québecoises. Je suis bien content d'avoir trouvé celle-ci, mais trouver la Saison 2... pas sur

I regularly find HDDVDs and the best part is they're always priced as a DVD. This one looks new. Maybe it was part of a starter bundle with someone's player years ago.

I don't even care about Star Wars due to my crippling cynicism, but for $4.50 who cares!

Hey for $4.50, I'm pretty happy, plus it comes with a Bluray. I hope my next thrift find is a UHD player...

I thought those were just standard embossed letters but they're actually stickers and look really good. This is why I like physical media. And 1980s cheese.

Couldn't believe it. Not a big fan or anything but I paid 10$ for both sets.

Another one of my lucky finds. It's in pretty good shape but needs new belts. It's a monster to take apart and I don't have any belts so it's a bookend for now. 20$ is reasonable, and it looks so cool.

Heathkit Model O-12 tube oscilloscope. Found this among old suitcases and kid's toys at a Friperie Renaissance/Goodwill in Montréal. It still works, it's clean, I didn't need to do anything and it powered up.
