    Great stuff ! There are quite a few farm auctions in that area Alex . That would be a great source for items to resell . I found a farm auction just outside of Okotoks . Oh boy !!! It was a cold , wet windy day . Too many people didn’t show up for it . Plus the auction company didn’t have great pics . So I took a chance and went . Needless to say I came out with lots of goodies . Spent no more than 75.00. Retail was well over 1800.00 ! 😊😊😊

    14:20 bang and Olufsen the turntables from that era are very sought after. Granted that's a receiver and tape deck. Bang olfusen has a cult following. 14:20 , usually the components are separate but b&o also made "furniture" for their audio products, the speaker stands also are sought after . If you find b&o it's worth a gamble of picking it up.
