My Dad’s Used Stereo Equipment

Growing up, I was quite embarrassed of my father. He collected used stereo and TV equipment. When I was young I thought maybe this was normal for everyone, but upon visiting friends houses I realized that one generally only has one TV and stereo system per room, not five or ten. I avoided bringing friends to my house because they thought it was weird. One girl who came to my house was very confused when we started to watch TV because she couldn’t figure out which one was associated with the audio, as all 7 of them were turned on at the time.

As for me, it was the latter. I was an electrical engineer at a local airport. Responsible for fixing much of the tv and audio equipment, I was kept very busy most of the time. One day a friend of mine who worked security at the airport brought me his receiver and asked me if I could fix it. I opened it up and discovered that it was very similar to the equipment I worked on, so there was no problem fixing it.

When I went to return the receiver to my friend, he told me to keep it. His wife had talked him into getting a new system. I took it home and put an ad in the local free classified paper. Within a week I had sold it, and for a nice amount. The next time I was out at garage sales and saw a similar system I picked it up, and a few other things besides. I had found a new hobby and a way to supplement my income.

A lot of stereo equipment is very easy to refurbish, and if you can do it well, you can sell it for a lot more money than you get it for. Nowadays, people will bring in broken equipment and give it to me for almost nothing, and I sell the refurbished stereo equipment for a good markup. I sell car stereo equipment as well as home stereo equipment. Anything that makes noise, and quite a few things that don’t, is my domain.

When I am looking at used stereo equipment, it’s usually easy to see if it’s going to be a wise purchase. First check for cracks or dents on the outside casing to make sure it hasn’t been dropped. Then as long as it turns on when you plug it in you are good to go. These systems are much more durable then new ones and last for many years.
