This has been the year for excellent finds !

I was talking to a friend at the flea market who has a spot there where he sell antique radios and other vintage electronics, i turn around and there it is ! I stopped talking (rude) and walked right across the lane to another long time Vinyl record collecting buddy who has this amp sitting on one of his tables.

I got a great deal too !!!

Same flea market I found the 1940's princeton at by the way :mrgreen:

BB...Sounds like you have found one heck of a source in that Flea Market :!: :!: :!: ...If I found one like that, they would have to pry me outta there with a crowbar! :lol:

Good to be seen! No complaints here, my brother is in town and we have been living it up and gorging ourselves on everything Corvette! It was nice to see three generations of Covette in my Garage...will maybe do an OT Post with pics next week when we get back from the National Corvette Museum and the Tour of the Covette Plant... :mrgreen:

We are Blessed to have a very rich musical history around here, first being an hour from Chicago then Just having had a lot of talent hang around here over the years.
I used to go fishing with Pine Top Perkins !!!

Stevie Ray Vaughan played in the tiny little town of LaPorte IN ten miles from me.

Capone had a few hideouts here too.

I think that is why little treasures seem to pop up here every so often.

Being right on the shores of the big lake don't hurt either 8)

I bought a Gibson Les Paul Jr from Roxy Music in LaPorte IN about 10 years ago...great little place (great guitar too!), my brother lives over in Niles, just accros from South Bend...very rich musical stomping grounds you got there...and fishing with Pine Top...you are one lucky man.
