MCM re-purpose and vintage sound equipment

Well, it's been a wild couple of weeks in the MCM furniture business. Yes, I've gotton so busy that I'd even forgotton about a new posting.  Hard to believe.....a run on my business. Good. Good.
That is how popular Mid Century and Danish Modern furniture is at this time. Very strong, indeed.
Last week I found the most gorgeous MCM desk (really a sewing table) at a thrift store for $20. I immediately recognized the only difference in this piece and a desk was the removeable panel that used to hold the sewing machine. If it had been a desk the price would have been six to ten times that amount. I eagerly bought it and was impressed the way it cleaned up. I have re-purposed MCM furniture before making a coffee table from a MCM cedar chest and other not too difficult transformations. I like re-purposing and everything it suggests for our environment. It's cool and green.
I have also been mesmerized again by an old (40 years) hobby of mine in the past few weeks. Classic stereo receivers and turntables. I found a vendor in a Hendersonville antique mall that does nothing but vintage receivers and vintage sound equipment. I have has a wonderful set of matched Pioneer components that I purchased a few years ago at the Jockey Lot in Anderson, SC.   I enjoy this set so much that the thought of not having a backup has always haunted me. Well, just $100 took all that latent fear away. I was able to get another Pioneer receiver (circa 1960's) and a like-new Technics turntable. For those demanding the incredible quality of a 60's - 70's receivers/turntables only vintage equipment is acceptable. These components abound on Ebay and at very reasonable prices. But to avoid the very high shipping charges and get a hands-on (ear-on) demonstration buying locally is preferred. If you haven't experienced this equipment because you are too young and missed this phenom, you really will be blown away when you hear it. It's like nothing else you've heard. Also, you may already know this but records (yes, the old vinyl ones) have outsold CDs for the past few years. There's a lot to be said for the scratch and pop of vintage vinyl. Records are available everywhere....and they are cheap. Let me know what you think about this posting.
