    Is Want Ad Press magazine still around ?

    Used to always see used electronic stuff in there.

    Would also trust it way more than Craigslist

      Oh yeah, you'll almost never find any good deals on vintage in TO, damn hipsters! (probably goes the same for most big cities) But if you search around in Bumblefudge, Idaho you'll never know what deals you may find.

        I remember having an all-in-one table top stereo back in the 80's that had the turntable, cassette, and a TV!...It was just a little 4 or 5 inch b&w tv, but it was still my first tv as a kid...No CD, as they weren't available at that time...I still have my 90's Kenwood multi component rack system though...

          Well, not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but this is styled more like a typical stereo we'd have in the 80s, albeit with the new stuff they've added on there (i.e. CD player, iPod hook up, etc.) But it does play vinyl records and cassettes.

          Get the credit you deserve. Instant application results. Shop top national brands.


          But yeah, finding ones like this that only play records, cassettes and radio that are modernly being manufactured are pretty rare.

            The best place to find retro stereo equipment around here is flea markets.

              Do be careful with the modern retro-look stuff if you're wanting to play LPs on it - a lot of those systems can be rough on records and wear down the grooves pretty fast.
