Weirdest Value Village Find To Date

Dec 30, '10, 11:28 AM

The Value Village next to my wife's parents house is one of those "never miss" places when I'm in town. It's a remote, predominantly French mining town. So while I never find old toys, there is always something oddball on the counter like a weird Jesus Statue, Mannequin limbs or my favourite, somebody's ten volume home made scrapbook series on Charles and Diana.

This visit did not disappoint, as this was on the counter on Christmas Eve, a working Oscilloscope!

Being a fan of Space:1999, I really thought about bringing it home and using it in our Halloween display somehow but at $150 I passed. My wife was pleased.

My ex-hubby was an electronics tech so he had one of these.

It would be neat for display even if it didn't work and was gutted.

I had one in the 70's that I hooked up to my stereo speakers!

Too many toys. Not enough space!
