Getting itchy fingers for tomorrow now. Unfortunately my phone informs me it is going to piss it down with rain all day so this might put a few sellers off ![ThumbsDown :--](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/icon_thumbsdown.gif)
Hear hear! Holy balls of shit indeed!

I love rainy days at the swap meet... the ones who are left are desperate and ready to haggle, even in the morning. I remember getting a Sansui 5000A in exchange for a cuppa McD's Crotch-Scalding-Hot™ Coffee; I'd set it down on the table in front of the thing to mix in sugar & creamer, and the guy's eyes lit up like Christmas morning. He saw me looking at the Sansui and admiring the well-kept woodgrain and said he'd had his fill of the thing; he refused to try and show it to me, because every time he did it wouldn't tune in a thing.
He offered it to me even-up as-is for the coffee... as long as I promised not to pollute it with creamer.

When I got it home after a day of wheeling, wheedling, squealing and dealing, I blew the dust bunnies out of the air-gaps in the tuner and touched up the inevitable ring-cracks on those heat-sinked tin-can transistors in the preamp & IF stages and it became my bedroom set for over a decade.
