OT: Audio:Free to Good Home - but with Two (2) "Catches"

[pfjw@aol.com]

First, the Stuff:

Pioneer SX780 Receiver: Turns on and tunes for perhaps 20 seconds, not all the time and passes no sound. Complete, cosmetics are fair, no visible damage. My SWAG is power-supply issues, but I do not 'do' Pacific Rim stuff.
Pioneer TX8100 Tuner: Excellent condition with original box, works very well, clean and complete. A nice basic tuner for those in need of such. No presets.
Dynaco FM5 Solid-State Tuner: Good cosmetics, tunes, and meter works. Output is a variable-with-volume HUMmmmm. It would be my fourth if working, so I am investing nothing and would rather give it to someone who might do something with it.
Sherwood Mono Tube Tuner (3000): Works after the fashion of these things, all complete, expected cosmetics, but, again, complete.

Catch #1: No cherry picking. Take all, or take none.
Catch #2: I ain't nohow packing or shipping, so you must come here or arrange to have it picked up.

This offer lasts until 5:00pm, Sunday, February 7, 2016 (tomorrow) whereupon it becomes a Craig's List Curb Alert. If someone needs a reasonable period of time from tomorrow to come get it, that I can work with. Reasonable = less than a week.

There will be other actual radio-related stuff as well, also free, but NOT subject to #1, optional to take if wanted.

We are in Melrose Park, PA. Jenkintown is immediately to our north, and Philadelphia is immediately to our south for location.

E-mail me here or off-group and I will send along my cell number.

First come first served. I will check the time-stamp of a reply if I actually get any!

Enjoy!

A generous offer Peter, but I'm surprised you don't just put them on Craigs for $250 which someone will snap up in an hour.

I don't care for those Pioneers either, but recently sold units on ebay went for $100 to 350. The whole package will go quickly unless you don't like dealing with people from Craigs (which I understand).

The two Pioneer units came to me as porch-puppies - left on my back porch without provenance of any sort (even though there is an address on the 8100 box). The Sherwood was a $1 BIN at Kutztown, and I got it working by cleaning the controls and loosening the on/off switch. The Dynaco is waiting for a 'round tuit' and hasn't achieved one in two (2) years, so it goes.

I figure I can get rid of them and make someone else happy all at the same time, and they cost me very, very little. It never crossed my mind to try and sell them.

If you havea a little bit of patience and can discern my email JURB6006 a gmail, hand on to those and I can find folk in your area who will come and buy a couple of those. Or you can say take the lot for fifty bucks or whatever. Hey, fifty bucks is a good dinner for two, a good drunk, whatever.

Sometimes you can sell stuff at a bargin price that you can not give away.
Especially if you have one good item and sell it all as a lot with the junk
you wnt to get rid of.
