Thrift double whammy. I can feel the Batman pow cloud on the back of my head.
Walked in the thrift store. Saw this box under a mountain old monitors and tv. Once I cleared the way, there I saw Marantz. All I did was open the box and lifted the unit enough to see it was not a fake me out box with a dead Panasonic or Sony unit. The usual thrift store gotcha. Nope real.
Literally sprint to the register. Being a servant and thrift thing I asked the most critical question how much are old CD players with no “tested”stickers on them. Guys says give me $15 bucks.
Get home to take it out of the box to test. It is not the CD player I had thought I had stolen. The box contained a Marantz amp Model NR-1607. Double whammy.
