Living in stereo

I was on Nextdoor.com the other day and saw someone here in the village was giving away a nice stereo system, and Onkyo CD player, component, and tape deck. I immediately wanted it as I no longer have a way to play all my old mix tapes from the 90's. My tape players have all conked out, even both my old Walkmans. I exchanged DM's with the guy giving it away and it was a house just a few blocks away over on Division Street. The house was empty and being sold, it belonged to his mother-in-law. He told me the stereo was nice unit, she was a big jazz fan. I couldn't take the stereo wires that hooked into the speakers because they went behind the wall unit out of reach. I decided to take a gamble and take everything...if it didn't work after I got some new wires, well, I'd just throw it all away. I got on Amazon and found 50 feet of stereo speaker wire for only 10 bucks. I got it yesterday and hooked up the system today...and it works GREAT. The sound is amazing. I'm playing one of my old tapes as I write this. I'll say it again: FREE is the best price in the world!



Right now I have it sitting on top of the cabinet in the TV room. I may put it in the shelves down below, I'd have to drill some holes in the back. I have to measure to sit if it will fit. A good 'project of the future'.
