Junk Shop Find!

[lotsofbars]

So I was in Brooklyn today going through some overpriced hipster junk shops. Right when I was losing all hope of finding anything worthwhile, I saw this little sucker on top of a stack of plates in a china cabinet. For $35, even I couldn't pass up that deal! (I *am* cheap, Tony!)

Anyway, this is what I got. It's a single speed but I'm not sure if it's fast or slow because I don't have a car to test it with. Not quite NOS, as someone clipped the factory plug and added their own plug with a switch from Radio Shack. The crimp job is very well-done, though. The dome is a 9/10, especially since I cleaned off the price sticker goo, and it's NOS on the inside. It even came with half a black dome! I don't see these in amber very often either, I love it.

You did good for only $35!

Thanks guys! This is the first and only time I've been lucky enough to find something reasonably priced in a junk shop. Everything else I've found has been in terrible condition for far more than it's worth. Like a waterlogged Grote beacon from the 80's with no dome and no motor for like $60 way back when. This is refreshing. Makes me think I should do more hunting more often!

It's nice when your efforts pay off like that.
