I wasn't really expecting you to ever trade/sell that one off lol.  Stang is certainly one of the best pure shooters I've played in a long time.  No gimicks, no tricks, just wave after wave of insanely fast enemies, plus incredibly detailed graphics and one of the best soundtracks ever.

Last night the thrift store was good to me:


2015-08-25 Panasonic DMR-EZ48V by xelement5x, on Flickr

I am SOOO happy that I found this unit. It's a Panasonic DMR-EZ48V VHS/DVD Recording unit.  This thing is the bomb, I have never seen VHS look this good, and it's designed specifically for upscaling and converting VHS and composite/SVID sources into 1080i and recording it onto DVDs. 

It's got a built in digital tuner, optical support, USB, toslink, SD Card, and even upscaled HDMI out on it!  Since it also accepts external input (as SVID or composite) as well It will be perfect for converting some of the rarer laserdiscs which I have to DVD. 

It was a bit pricy at $30 for me to normally buy at the thrift (especially with no remote) but apparently they're still selling easily for about $150 on ebay so once I finish my conversions I can probably sell if for an extra bit of cash.  I've been on the lookout for something like this for a couple months after this type of device was recommended to me for LD conversions.  I'm so glad I was patient!




2015-08-25 Pulp Comics and XBOX Light Guns by xelement5x, on Flickr


There were a couple of XBOX light guns for cheap that I grabbed up for a chatbox regular but it sounds like he probably doesn't want them since they only work on CRTs.  Not sure if I will keep them or not, I do have some lightgun games already.  They also had some crazy silent scope rifle/shotgun for the xbox that was missing the quick disconnect part on it to connect to the xbox though

They also had a number of older comics and weird pulp books from the 70s and 80s.  So I grabbed a couple to give to my brother in law, another guy snagged the Star Wars one which looked really neat but oh well.  There was also some Battlestar Galactica comics, GI Combat, and other ones as well.  At $1 each they were cheap, but I wasn't going to pick them all up either (there were probably about 50 various issues) since that would add up pretty quickly and I don't really need a lot of comics. 

The ones I did grab have kind of cool covers I though, I love that art, dig the chick chained to a post while a monster eats a dude in front of her! :O

Really nice find! I'm jelly.

Myself I've just picked up a Sony DVP-S9000ES DVD/SACD player.
Pristine in box.

Beautiful unit. And built like a tank. Literally. About 35lbs of heavy duty construction.
I'm guessing this thing was probably top of the range for it's time.

I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

$15 got me a Sony DAV-HDX585 with 4 of the 6 speakers (will have to check back for 2 missing "rear" speakers), the remote controller and 4 DVD discs still inside the system. 

$15 for a working 5 disc player is good deal.  With original remote and some of the speakers by a quality company like Sony is a steal.  Hell, eBay seller wants $15 just for the remote.
