Yes, these types of videos are very time consuming. I do similar ones every now and then where I go through guides on PC stuff, replacing parts etc. Or my modification videos. I really appreciate the time taken for videos like this one 👍 Cheers, Dave.
I enjoy your risky thrifting segments...I myself do the same thing and sometimes I can check stuff in the store, sometimes not...interesting to see what your results are with these continued episodes...keep em up!
Thank you. These videos are fun, but sometimes take awhile to "restock", especially when thrift store inventory is picked over. I might start hitting more garage sales instead.
Those late 90s/early 2000s era Sony VCRs seem to be a really solid machines. If I recall correctly that model isn't actually made by Sony (maybe Samsung?). I think it would be cool to do a follow-up maybe at the end of the next Risky Thrifts, to mention if you got any of your past broken thrifts working.
Good to know. I've owned a model near-identical to this one before, but gave it away to someone who had a bunch of tapes but no VCR. The picture looks pretty good.
snowball micophone: it might have a few issues relating to its quality but theres a good chance it will still be usable realistic microphone: it looks like it might work pretty well, it does look a little plasticky but it otherwise looks pretty good small cassette recorder: looks very cheap and probably has an issue, still not as cheap as that micky mouse player modified DVD player: it may work, but i feel like something may have gone wrong with that PAL modification that will come back to bite jambox: probably works, but only to the extent it was tested, and the note does not specify if there are issues or not 22 inch TV: i would think it would be broken but based on the monitors i’ve seen im just not sure hifi VCR: looks simple compared to other players/recorders, not as much that can go wrong. i’ll guess that it works equalizer: i think it will work, but something is telling me you are going to get a very loud high pitched squeal joystick: it looks pretty much fine to me card shuffler: it may have an issue like corrosion or getting jammed but i think it might be fine
I bought a variety pack of belts awhile back, and I've been meaning to do a belt changing vid. Not sure if this Optimus will be the featured cassette recorder, however.

My favorite ThriftyAV series!
Thank you for the words of encouragement @Jack Alexander! This is my favorite series to produce!
Although some stuff was bust, on balance you came out on top. Which is the important thing 👍 Very entertaining video. Cheers, Dave.
These segments are time-consuming but fun... and so are the shopping trips where I acquire these treasures!

I talk about some checks you can do in-store in a different video. It might be time to bring up that topic again.
Nic Video William - you got another 'Like'

@@ThriftyAV Keep up the good work :)

my guess for working items this round is 10/10
Thank you for binging these, and participating in the guessing game!
I love risky thrifting. I hope everything works...so that's my guess!
I wish!
Going to guess maybe 6 of your items will work? Thanks for your time in putting the videos together.
Thank you for participating!
I just bought a Magnavox DVD recorder for $8 and it works great
Nice find! My favorite DVD burner is a Magnavox dual VCR/DVD unit.
snowball micophone: it might have a few issues relating to its quality but theres a good chance it will still be usable
realistic microphone: it looks like it might work pretty well, it does look a little plasticky but it otherwise looks pretty good
small cassette recorder: looks very cheap and probably has an issue, still not as cheap as that micky mouse player
modified DVD player: it may work, but i feel like something may have gone wrong with that PAL modification that will come back to bite
jambox: probably works, but only to the extent it was tested, and the note does not specify if there are issues or not
22 inch TV: i would think it would be broken but based on the monitors i’ve seen im just not sure
hifi VCR: looks simple compared to other players/recorders, not as much that can go wrong. i’ll guess that it works
equalizer: i think it will work, but something is telling me you are going to get a very loud high pitched squeal
joystick: it looks pretty much fine to me
card shuffler: it may have an issue like corrosion or getting jammed but i think it might be fine
I was wondering if you would keep watching and participating!
My guess would have been that 8 out of the 10 items would work….
Thank you for participating!
the cassette recorder might just need new belts. the tv would be good for just testing vcr's or dvd players
The cassette i always change the belts
I bought a variety pack of belts awhile back, and I've been meaning to do a belt changing vid. Not sure if this Optimus will be the featured cassette recorder, however.
Man u are great i do the sane things u do
I love electronic treasure from the thrift store, even if they don't always work out for me.
