There's PA in goodwill? or goodwill in PA? hmm

Well I was in Goodwill (yes, again.. get used to it) in August and once again there was nothing good in the usual spots. The usual spots being :

  1. Front glass counter
  2. Rear Electronics wall
  3. Front of store by the telescope that never sells.
I decided to veer off my 60-second path and go over to where the busted furniture usually is. I see these odd black cabinets, and immediately I realize they're PEAVEY ... something. Well there's this old ass PA-400 amp and two 12" cabinets. $70 on the tag for the whole setup. I plug it in, the lights come on. Some of the output transistors have been replaced, but it looks good. Next question, will this fit in my trunk? Who knows, but I'm going to find out! Dragged it all to the counter with the usual lady giving me the weird looks because she has no idea what or why I'm buying again. Here is the result:

So apparently my 2006 STS trunk while small, still fits 2 12" cabinets, a head, and about 22 bottles of 2 liter cola.

Well I got it home and realized I don't have any 1/4" jacks to power or connect this damn thing. Off to Guitar center to buy them. I hook it up and play some music. The buzz is so annoying. I think it's normal for PA gear but considering I use B&W speakers and amplifiers with significantly lower THD... this is bleh. I bet they would have made a great setup for the garage if I wanted movie night with the projector on the door, but nah.

So I sold them, and made a tidy profit (600%).

Ratings:

Price: $60

I should probably make a chart for what these ratings mean huh?
