We stopped at a Goodwill in Apache Junction Arizona last night on the way back from Phoenix. Found some pretty good media...Games, albums, CDs and books. I think it's time for a 🧵 about it Image

First the cds. Three good ones, all in gr8 shape and only 99 cents ea. Couldn't pass them up.

For Heart it's some other most charted singles but not the most beloved by fans. I used to have the cassette! 😊 Image

After the Atari 2600 failed me. I decided to pull out the NES and see what I got on that one. It was another adventure so come along and follow the 🧵👇🏼 Image At first boot all I got was a flashing red light and the video would flash off and on.

I connected my Atari 2600 "Light Sixer" to my 1980 Samsung B/W TV using the black box switcher but never could get a signal. 🙁I then struggled for ~30 minutes getting a remote control to work with an old Dynex Flat screen TV I bought from Goodwill a while back. Follow the 🧵👇 Image I tried contact cleaner thru the switches and toggling them back and forth to no avail. Then, I checked the output of the 50 year old power brick and it was giving about 14 VDC. Perfect! Still when powering on, no signal.

On my way home from church today I stopped at an estate sale. They had two milk crates full of old records that look like mice had made a home and a meal out of! 😳 Such good old classic rock that was just destroyed. Follow along to see how it went!

I dug through them for a while and I did find a few that looked like might have potential so I offered $10. They agreed. If Fleetwood Mac Rumours is in good shape it would be a steal. Image
