The suburbs here are reasonably affluent. The thrifts are usually FLOODED with old VHS decks. I've bought 7 SVHS decks in the last two years and passed on some. I've scored 4 Betamax decks in the last year or so as well. In that time I've also scored 5 DVD recorders one of which also functions as a DVR.

There are also a lot of elderly folks here who are a source of tube gear. I've lost count of the number of tube radios and stereo consoles I've seen in garage sales and thrifts.
Yeah, I realized you had your location listed right after I posted. XD
I didn't go back and edit it though, as I felt that removing that question would make my statement less effective, haha.

I used to find a lot of cool stuff in thrift stores when I lived in Fargo (that's where I got my SelectaVision video disc player with 20 or so movies for $20), but around here you only get clothes and kitchen stuff.
