Yard sale score! (bose content )
« on: May 27, 2007, 12:02:37 AM »
 I hit a couple yard sales on the way to a lake south of Tahoe , walked up and first thing I  noticed was an old pair of Bose 901's , the lady said $40 but I have to take the cabinet also.  :o  All I could think was $40 for a paif of 901's! Great shape and these things sound incredible !!

 So I crammed everything into the back of our Jeep along with 3 people and a dog, tight fit but well worth it

 Anybody know anything about this setup? The cabinet looks  custom. They said it was their uncle's when he was a DJ
         Turns out the guy I bought it from toured with Leftover Salmon as a stage hand.

Hmm... looks like a Marantz 16 amp and a 7T preamp in the cabinet.  Those alone should fetch you 400+ on ebay... or put them to good use, I believe the older Marantz SS gear is pretyt highly regarded.

Yep I just looked in the back of the cabinet and it is a 7t preamp and a model 16 amp

I think I will be putting these to good use the sound is just phenomenal ! Pink Floyd is sounding real nice right now ;)

 It is a Heath Kit AR-29 receiver (never heard of the company before) 
 
 I've been listening to all sorts of cds tonight it is amazing I've heard things on some of my favorite cds I've never heard before.
 
 Does anyone know what the "One"  & "Two" mean on the bottom of the speakers ??? left and right ???

Nice find on the Bose/Marantz gear!

Heathkit was an electronics kit manufacturer from Benton Harbor, Michigan
Known for "good value" gear that was easily modded, .... the AR-29 can be easily moddified into a boat anchor     ;D      or a maybe an amp to use in the garage

Very nice! +T

My buddy just dropped off a "pair of old speakers that had been sitting in his basement for years".  They turned out to be a pair of Bose 601 Series II's.  These are f'in massive sounding speakers (28-20,000Hz) with some serious clarity, even with the little bit of foam rot that's going on.  Otherwise, they're flawless.  I hate to say it, but my VR1's have remained unplugged since these arrived  :scared:

And I'm not a big Bose fan...

Mine may have to be a boat anchor it turns on and lights up but there is a nasty hum from it.

That is a sweet find....and to think I drive by every yard sale and think "what junk."

Ever yard sale has some old excercise equipment....I did find a triple beam at a sale back in the 80's for $10.
A six pack a day, that's all we ask.
