[keyboard keys clacking]

- [Robotic Voice] Let's go thrifting!

[SID chip Thrifting music]

- [Clint] Shout out to Paul of Hokuto Force

for that C64 intro, by the way,

but yeah, just looking at a parking lot here

because it's freshly paved and that pleases me.

Nice day for a Goodwill run.

I got the lucky rock over there looking lucky as always,

and I'll leave it be this time.

And immediately inside in the media section

there are a small handful of games here for various systems.

Got a couple of original XBOX games.

Nothing I need, but you know, there it is.

Same goes for Fable: The Lost Chapters, here,

I already have it, don't need it, but you know,

I'm seeing these kinds of things in Goodwills

less and less these days.

Same goes for this, just DOS and Windows 3 applications

like Print Shop Deluxe Ensemble, here, or the CD Ensemble.

Again, already own it,

but it's nice to see the ensemble [chuckles].

Yeah.

Over in the glass case there's a Framemeister,

uh, Framemaster, uh yeah, it's one of these things.

I used to use these while making custom picture frames.

It's a point driver,

you can stick it in the back and mount things,

and yeah, anyway.

More console games and some handheld stuff

as usual down below, nothing standing out, to me anyway.

This right here stood out though.

We got an Edison phonograph cylinder record.

25 bucks is a bit much.

I got a couple of these that are older even,

for like five bucks.

Ooh and it's one of these little guys!

One of those mini tape recorders by Norelco.

Think I've actually picked up one of these

in a previous thrift, I just like the design of these

little 60's tape recorders.

Ooh, now this is more like it!

Up above here on top of the case

we've got a Atari 2600 Light Sixer.

The VCS itself, a Tele-Games center, just a plastic base,

but you know, manuals and games and controllers.

And I mean, you know, not a bad little set.

Again, nothing I don't have, and they were charging $150.

After they cut that price in half

I think it sold like a week later.

This was kind of neat.

I saw stacks and stacks of these magazine ads

from the 1920's and 30's.

All in protective plastic with cardboard backing, and yeah,

it's mostly from the Ladies' Home Journal,

a lot of it actually being ads for soap, cleaning products.

An amusing collection.

This kind of thing always catches my eye,

we have a traffic signal, here.

Mostly a hard plastic construction, but yeah,

I'd love to grab one of these sometime and convert it to a

thing [chuckles].

And then look at this thing, oh man,

it's a big ol' skin, here, just yeah, I mean,

somebody just dropped off a skin, how very John Marston.

Ah, now here we go,

I've always liked the look of these things.

This is a Yamaha Clavinova, this is a CLP-250.

I've just always admired the clean lines and

clean sound, really, of these,

and I remember seeing them in the late 80's,

well really, early 90's in music stores.

Just a digital piano, but it's kind of cool.

And then around the corner, look at this,

they have like an entire dedicated wood section.

I guess they didn't know where else to put this,

so it's all just like wood things.

Feels like it was specifically made for me, somehow.

I mean, you know, it's not, but I appreciate the effort.

Ah man, check out this load of rubber stamps.

It's a rather random assortment, it seems,

just stuck together in little bags, $20 each,

which considering the price

that some of these can actually be normally,

that's not the worst deal for some of these,

if you want these designs, anyway.

All right, getting over to the electronics wall,

and over here this caught my eye, because of course it does.

It is an IBM Wheelwriter.

This is a much later one than I normally see,

this is a five.

I most often see like the twos and threes.

And it looks like we got some

darkroom-related equipment, here.

This is a Compensating Enlarging Timer.

All sorts of useful-looking settings

for developing film photographs and all that.

Don't know if it actually has all it needs with it,

but yeah, it's a thing.

Down below there was an intriguing stack of A/V stuff,

like the Kmart stereo 8-track player right there,

but I was mostly attracted to this

Data Dynamics Pulse Generator, 5113 is the model,

and just look at this thing,

you don't normally see this type of equipment.

I mean I've seen some neat things,

but not one quite like this before, and uh, I like it.

Ah man, look at this little tiny mouse, it's so small.

Almost to the point of it being useless.

Man, I used to see these like bundled all the time with

laptop carrying cases and such.

Oh hey, now what is this?

Ah, just a little portable radio, here, from Sony,

but dang it, I love this design.

Look at this, it almost has a Dieter Ramsesque Braun design,

I don't know, it's just a clean look.

And whoa, okay this is an increasingly rare site

at Goodwills these days, we got an NES over here.

Just the main unit itself, but you know,

it's got the cables and two controllers, 15 bucks.

It's yellowed, but so it goes.

15 is not bad, all things considered, if it's functional,

but who knows.

I'm sure somebody will buy this really quickly.

As for me though, I'm not gonna buy that,

but I'm going to buy this really quickly.

Check this out!

We've got a VIC-1525 Graphic Printer, here, by Commodore.

The box is a little nasty in parts, but $20,

and it is brand new old stock inside there.

I mean, everything is still taped up, sealed and everything.

The manual, the cables, the printer itself,

I mean, it's all there, yeah I'm totally grabbing this.

Ah man, it's such a nice day out at this point,

so let's keep on going.

We've got another Goodwill here, and this is the one

that remodeled recently-ish, with the wood laminate flooring

and the brown and black shelves, and yeah, it's just a

classy look here now.

Anyway, checking out the back wall of goodies over here,

and there wasn't much last time I visited, but this time

I saw this Zenith tube radio.

It's a Bakelite kind of maroon-colored thing, for $5.

Haven't yet dove into mid-century radio collecting, but

I don't know man, they're cool, as opposed to these,

which I'm sorry to say will never be cool.

[giggles] These terrible VR viewers.

It's just one of those glorified Google Cardboard things

that you find at like

dag-gone gas station sell these now,

everywhere, they're littering Goodwills.

And below that though, this caught my eye, because you know,

keyboard, and it's by Key Tronic,

and they have some pretty awesome stuff at times.

This one on the other hand was a later,

much crappier, plastic-y model.

I liked the black on black and everything,

but yeah, it's later, it's got the Windows keys and all that

kind of stuff, and it's not mechanical, so nobody cares.

You know here's something that always gets my attention

at thrift stores, white boards and things like that,

that still have somebody's notation on there.

This one in particular having writing that's almost

three years old at this point.

I don't know, it just amuses me that someone just decided

to give this to Goodwill and not erase it.

Like here, look at this chalkboard.

Like you know what, it's just time to get rid of this thing.

It may have something written on there, but we're just

gonna give it to Goodwill, and then Goodwill's not gonna

erase it either [laughing].

Ah, Shake Weight!

On the topic of Goodwill and things that occur, this is

another one of those.

Every so often you see just a large collection

of somebody's book.

This one being "You Made My Day: Creating Co-Worker

"Recognition and Relationships."

Like somebody went through the trouble of getting these

printed, and you know, they got a whole bunch of them,

but I guess they just couldn't sell them, or who knows.

It's amusing and sad at the same time, and thrift stores

man, what can I say?

But right around the corner from that

it looks like they have fleshed out their media section

a little bit more since last time.

There's also a somewhat nicely organized

selection of records on the other side of that shelf.

This will be a mess in about a week.

And over in the puzzles and board games

not much catching my eye, although I did see one thing here

that stood out, because Sierra, but eh,

it's not really that kind of Sierra,

it's not a game, it's just "MasterCook."

They had so many of these cooking programs,

they're just like applications for Windows 3.1 and 95,

to just give you recipes and stuff on CD.

Well anyway, that's a thing.

Moving on to another Goodwill, because why not,

it's around here.

Checking out the glass case here, and ooh, tiny piano!

And then this caught my eye, because Planet Fitness

New Year's Eve Times Square.

I guess there's New Year's Eve parties at Planet Fitness.

I don't know man, I just wanted to crush it, so I did.

Okay, what do we got here, some

stiletto tape dispensers [chuckles].

And not one, but two, which just, I don't even know.

Check out the books, we got some books.

Oh hey what is this, "WarCraft: War of the Ancients",

we got "StarCraft", somebody was into some Blizzard things

and then they weren't.

Over in the junk section and let's see, what is this?

"Believe!"

This is a CD-ROM something, it's a

"Comprehensive Christian 5 CD-ROM Reference Set"

with [chuckles]

actually I think I have most of these individually,

but anyway though, in the bottom right there

got my attention, "Screen Savior" [chuckles and laughs].

Oh, that is some top-notch religious punnery right there,

but anyway.

Let's see over to board games and toys and stuff,

and this is electronic doohicky, what is this?

Buckmasters Elk Huntin'.

Yeah.

Always been a bit intrigued by these

glorified game-and-watch type things,

it's like a Tiger Electronic game but

in a ridiculous form factor.

Anyway, whatever.

Behind there on the bottom shelf was this

blue deal right here, and my knee in frame.

Anyway yeah, look at this, Musictime The Performer.

It's a very cheaply-built record player, but the thing is

it also has a tape player down at the front here, and it's

like a front-loading thing like you'd see in a car.

Can't say I've seen that combination before,

so it stood out because reasons.

These stood out as well because brown.

I've seen this particular model of GE clock radio before,

a couple times now, thrifting.

But yeah, check this out, Desk Top Light Box by Logan.

This was amusing.
