So this is why we cant find good stuff at thrift stores any more...

That’s exactly how Stereo store was in the 1970’s I still have my pioneer Sx-780 with original box. I’m gonna play a LP tonight. The good old days

My heart was broken recently. A vintage shop close to me that mainly sells vinyl had a huge collection on vintage audio. I stopped in yesterday, and it was all gone. The owner ( that used to be my car audio factor rep back in the 90s) now in his late 70s told me he put it all in storage because it wouldn't sell. He also doesn't believe in selling online, but I told him I'd buy the 3 storage units full of equipment. He told me it's just junk, and he doesn't want to deal with it. I also told him I would work for commission testing and selling, but he's still not interested. Either he has enough money or just doesn't care. I hope that one day I will see the equipment again as he had some very rare pieces. He said to me, " Nobody wants this old crap it's worthless." Don't waste your time. My fingers are staying crossed.

Lenny, all I can say is WOW! It's Like Candy Land come to Life...

Quite a collection. If the prices are really high it becomes more of a museum than a store.

Cool video. Thanks for taking us on the trip. 👍🏼😎🎶

Thanks again Lenny for another amazing tour.🎉 Seeing all that vintage 70's & 80's gear overloaded my brain to the max in overdrive that it blew me away..Wow!..lol

Toshiba like Hitachi was mostly a "Heavy Industries" company. In the 1970's these huge Japanese heavy industry companies \ defense contractors let their engineers flex their muscles resulting in first rate Toshiba and Hitachi receivers that had an almost military \ industrial look. Inside you'll see that Hitachi & Toshiba often used in house electronics unless quality commercial off the shelf components were available. It's often said that Hitachi was a poor man's Pioneer and Toshiba was a poor man's Sansui. Toshiba and Hitachi weren't lesser build quality it's just they did not have the same elite name recognition so they sold for less. If you see a good looking Toshiba or Hitachi receiver GRAB EM! Thank you. Lenny!

Wow, that looks like a gold mine! I have seen only one Sansui G22000, that was at the main store of the company where I used to work when I was 17/18 years old (Sun TV and Appliances.) I saw that and lots more (the store where I worked had those G series receivers, up to the G9000, which I had the privilege of hooking up.) It was almost like Christmas when new equipment came in, and my boss allowed me to open and set up new receivers/hifi stuff! Truly a dream job, I miss those days.

Not to be rude....but that rusty leaky looking acoustical tile ceiling is pretty scary for a stereo store....but hey, it gives it Jersey character. I'm an ex-trucker - love Jersey. Edit : Wow, that's a destination kinda place; cool old unique stuff. P.S. I have the 1975 Onkyo TX-4500 - the gold standard- no wood on the side. In fact, you told me to pull it out of storage and get it goin' . I did. She's diamonds.(after some work). My 92 yr. old mom listens to my TX-2500 in her studio. Thx for the tour. Very cool.

Wow such an awesome store. Yeah I’d be in there for hours !!!!! Thanks for touring this store.

Hello CAPTAIN SUB: Thank you Lenny for this vintage video store update. I must say that you hit the motherload almost in my backyard. Since I been doing business with you in your terrific store in Maryland you really spoiled me in every way. I just love doing business with you guys even though it takes me 4 hours one way to get to your store. You & your expert + friendly staff just makes my life easier & the trust level is off the charts. Take care & be safe, your loyal customer, TMP from N.J.

Heath-Kit was a DIY deal whereas they sent you the parts, frame and a schematic for the many different types of electronics they produced, you assembled it at home! My dad was an engineer for Western Electric/Lucent and made one back in the late 1950's or early 1960's. I'm not sure when as I'm the youngest child but I remember the tuner, amp, pre-amp all working when I was a little kid in the early 1970's! He had later bought an 8-track and record-player to complete the rig, they were both from Radio-Shack I believe (long time ago), the amp was a 25 watt tube-set and was a normal stereo arrangement, I think the pre-amp had a secondary out-put for another power amp.

I saw a really nice set of Realistic Mach 1 speakers. Tons of nice Realistic components, love it!!

MB quart was big in the 90's car audio, but the home speakers were unbelievable in sound quality! What a find, that store has unbelievable vintage stuff!!!

You missed the Ohm Walsh F's . Operationally very interesting and quite collectable.

Love this place. Been going there since the 70's.

Thank you for showing a great store.

There's something about reels, tapes, vinyl and even early vertical CD players where you could actually SEE with your own eyes the mechanical process of playing music ! Things are moving in front of you, rotating parts, open(ish) architecture, machined metal, it turns everything into a ritual where you really enjoy your music and your hardware🔬🔭📯🔊

Damn, you found my secret spot. Welcome to the neighborhood.

oh wow I used to visit that store a few times per year from when I first got my license (probably 1989) until maybe 1998. And then I assumed it was probably out of business. Thanks for posting this. I'll need to take a trip this week!

Speechless! Incredible video

I live 10 miles from there, they used to advertise on late night TV, WCAU i believe, during the "Late Late Show" LOL. By the way it's "Maple Shade" not Maple Grove, NJ

Simply amazing! Great Video!

The BIC Formula 6 to the left of the Acoustat @22:00 were a rare treat to see. I used to wish I had them when I was a kid seeing them at the stores. They looked so cool with the grills off and VENTURI lettering over the ducts.

I use to go to barracks trading post back in the 80’s when Barracks was on RT 130 in Bordentown, NJ. Always had some great stuff.

I have that unicorn Heathkit receiver that you mentioned, The AR-1500….My father built it back in 1971 and it’s still up and running!

These trips are so cool. I am friends with one of the oldest stores in colorado. I can connect you with owner, probably the oldest owner you will meet lol

WOW❗️I am even happier with the rarity of my Sansui 5500 Quad Channel. Saw a 5700 that I would live but not one 5500 in there😮

Awesome find Lenny!🎉 I think I saw some Clark speakers that I used to have in the 80s that was driven by a big Onkyo receiver that you showed with the nice wood sides.. used to also have a big pair of Acoustic Research studio monitor speakers , but I didn't see any in that store

MB QUART home hi-fi speakers are excellent. Distribution failed, but the quality and design top notch. I have a pair similar to those. They feature a hybrid acoustic suspension cabinet and matched Titanium tweeters. Very good soundstage, depth, and transparency.

This is an excellent video Thank You !!! Loved it … I felt I was right there with you … well made🙃

Best pack a lunch for a visit in that place. I got the bug 50 years ago @ 15 years old. JVC 30 WPC receiver, Thorens Turntable and 8 inch 2-way Realistic floor Speakers. Seems I traded the JVC for A Sherwood to gain Tape Monitor features to run a used TEAC table top cassette I acquired.

Barracks Trading Post is no secret if you live in New Jersey! As of 5 years ago when I lived there, there was also one in Bordentown and New Brunswick. I've been to all 3, lots of times. It's worth the trip to go and see the others. The only trouble is that their prices are too high, so I stopped going there, then I moved out of NJ.

Another nice tour. You actually mentioned the Yamaha CR-620 instead of skipping it like you usually do with Yamaha gear that shows up in your tour videos. Sanyo actually made some very nice gear (especially their Plus series) in the late 1970s. They were late to the game, and just as they jumped in, the home stereo market was starting to decline. A lot of the gear you were showing was from the 1960s, not the 1970s.

THIS LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN! hope you come to NY one day. Would love to show you the system

I remember Barracks Trading Post from the 1970's. They used to run adds on our local Phila radio stations. I had no idea they were still around!

Super cool video 👏👏👍😎

You missed a good amp. That Nad just after you MANUALLY opened the CD player. Ive got a Nad amp from the 80's. It's a beast. German made. Proper good. ✌️

Are you longer with Just Audio? Just saw the channel name change

That guitar is actually a gibson ES-330 and is the least desirable variation of them with the single p-90 pickup in the middle. An es335 has humbucker pickups and is semi hollow, a 330 is full hollow with p-90s. What were they asking on it? It looks to have been refinished as well

That sansui is class

A vintage gear wet dream 🎉😂❤

Great job !!!

Pretty wild -I still use all vintage stereo stuff

Definitely gonna be a fun one

To realize how much of that old school hardware still exists in little hole in the walls across the country! Just stilling there. Perhaps lots of unobtanium needed for repairs in actual working hardware? Or backroom shops? We need a program to provide a true old school hifi experience to all those home(audio)less Xers and Zers. Get that stuff in the hands and ears of the ear buds are fine crowd!

So much more personality than today's black box with one big knob boredom.

Barrack's is the place i grew up there coming from p.a. every weekend with my Dad .Hey you need to go to Mort's tv video in p.a. , you weren't to far from them if you never been there. They have 80% hi end equipment and there on ebay and have everything ,you'd be blown away. I grew up at that Barrack's trading post in Maple shade New Jersey , made many many deals there with my Dad up until about 2013. So many memories of the places that were there there were two more audio shops down the road one called the Record shop all hi end equipment. Barrack's had two other locations one in new Brunswick and one in Bordentown Great Video as usual !

So the store owner has a “LANDLINE” and… Never heard of the internet 😂 Great Vid!

Wow so much stuff! So much I recognize and there was so much I didn't! I saw in the back their Pro stuff, they had a Fender portable PA. The Deluxe version actually used Bose speakers in custom cabinets. Actually worked pretty good until the magnet fell off the woofers. Someone dropped it... I wouldn't mind seeing more of the Pro stuff 😃 I think I saw those Ohm speakers in my dads Popular Mechanics books. Ill have to go look it up now, but if I can recall, the sound waves travel down that "Cone" shaped driver like ripples. Another great video of an amazing store. Wait, was that a bloody hand next to the reverb unit near the front of the store?

Sooooo very cool

What a cool show!

I like the Luxman’s. Luxman and Alpine made some great equipment.

That's about 30 minutes south of me! I guess I'll have to plan a trip down this summer. 😀

Great store. They treat me well every time I go there. Would Love to buy that Realistic STA-2100. I have to get my 2100D to them for a Recap. Hopefully soon.

So cool

Nice Production Lenny, What a fabulous Store. Wish it was in my neck of the Woods. Never seen Marantz 2020, 2120 yes, own 2100 which looks kind of similar. Those roof leaks on T Bar ceiling are scary to see. That Kenwood Sub that looked like it came from a U Boat, I would buy that just for how weird it is..

any place with this much unusual stuff in it just sitting there, it means the prices are super high and all of it is unserviced..

amazing

That RCA TV you were talking about watching KZfaq on--you couldn’t!! Lol😂. They only have a tv tuner in them. No RCA input or anything else but an antenna hookup.

Not EMT at all! OHMs! Walsh drivers. Love them! Omni-directional. Single driver inverted cone. Different materials used as you go down the cone. The voice coil on top modulates the cone. The wave is sent down the cone. The wavelength of the tone will determine where on the cone it resonates and projects from. The higher the frequency, the higher up the come it will resonant with. Then cabinet loads the lows. Amazing, unique design. Power hungry. The company still exists and I think will rebuild these. New versions of the inverted Walsh system they call the "Walsh Tall Speaker" series is available from them.

Wow a an Akai 81D 8track! These players will make your tapes sound the best next to the 82D with glass heads. Most say 8tracks are junk but these recorders will change your opinion. Built like a tank!

Cant wait till you come to colorado

Quite a place, Lenny. Never close to me🤷‍♂️. I’d love to travel there.

What an amazing store. It's like walking inside Ebay. You totally missed/glossed over the somewhat rare Allison 9 speakers connected to the Sansui G-2200. Great speakers with a very unique look.

Great video as usual...now fill up the family Truckster and get your arse out to Colorado 👍🤞

Its a vintage heaven!

We had a Barracks in Bensalem PA it was awesome I was in there all the time I was in that one your in that store is packed with audio great video bought alot of realistic audio in there years ago. I believe you’re in the main store. It’s always had the selection.

IT'S A OVER DOSE OF VINTAGE!!! NICE!!!!

Once again.... Another toy store! Damn sure wish I could find one locally. Closest thing I can get for vintage audio equipment is a Goodwill.... and I usually leave those places empty handed.

Man, that place stiffn old Willy right up!

WOW Heath Kit big in the 1970's know for ham radio kits.

14:48 I have that receiver sitting 10 feet from me now in perfect condition except mine is a STA 64 with Quadravox. 16 watts per channel but has some of the sweetest sound.

I had that Denon EQ.and them bose 10.2

Some of the vintage Sansui and Pioneer Receivers were running in tube, not in solid state operation. They are worth to be picked as the collectable items.

If I would have told you to go to New Jersey You would have laughed and said ok. I live about an hour away. Nice find!! Good eye Lenny!

I’d be super interested in the pro audio and guitar amps. Plus everything else ……man what a store.

Beautiful equipment, but when you have a collection of MP3's all I need is my Bose speakers. Anyone ?

If I was a millionaire like too much to add up I'd find these places and buy them out.

Goooood 👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍

Like dialing a phone hee hee hee I love when Lenny says Phone , Loan , Cone , Stone ,Bone , Zone hee hee hee Awesome gear Lenny I want those Hafler amps

I’m noticing no pricing on anything. That tells me the place is probably a pain in the ass if you are actually interested in buying something.

That clock is just nuts it would look so good in your studio?

So when are you touring with ZZ Top.....lol great beard. You are definitely the vintage receiver guy.

all that high end vintage equipment on a wall under an obviously leaking ceiling...OMG

The Heathkit tuner was the very first digital synthesized FM tuner ever made.

There used to be a few of these in NJ one in New Brunswick,near rt 18 and one down on rt 130 somehwre...I guess we now down to one ???...Gotta visit...

I saw a restoration video on KZfaq on the Kenwood powered subwoofer years ago..

Love these videos! Btw what happened to the Just Audio KZfaq channel? 🤔

WOW...! l saw like 5 things l want...! That place will be cleaned out in a month... He needs to find a shipper and packer FAST. LOL

You forgot the realistic speakers. I guess the Optimus. Such a shame!

What? You don’t know about MB Quart 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was a German brand….I once owned a high end pair for home audio back in the 90’s…..Even then they was kinda hard to come by……Excellent Speakers 👍

L univer merveilleux du vintage

I live in Northwest Florida and there's a guy who sells stuff on eBay who lives about an hour away from me in lower Alabama. Anyway I ended up buying an old NAD integrated from him and he was going to ship it to me but I asked him" is there anyway I can just come and pick it up"? Anyway he said sure and gave me his number to text him. Couple days go by and I go over to meet him to pick it up and he tells me to meet him at the warehouse, I'm thinking okay sure. The warehouse turned out to be a very large storage unit, like one of those ones that people get to put RVs in, I'm talking 80 ft deep by 60 ft wide, a large storage unit. And he tells me to come in and he'll grab it. When I walk in the store room he has everything everywhere. I'm talking every vintage Marantz receiver that you can think of every vintage sansui and pioneer and Yamaha even realistic. He's got at least 400 turntables in there and an equal amount of speakers. The place is so loaded with vintage Hi-Fi that you literally have to walk by turning sideways and shuffling through some of the narrow aisles he has in this storage room. He gets the NAD and hands it to me and I go out front and I asked him" what's with all the hi-fi, I didn't know anybody ever had so much" and he told me that he has been a collector for a long time and over the last decade he's been selling stuff on eBay on a regular basis. Basically I was amazed by what I saw in there and some of the vintage variety and also the rarity of some of the pieces, like he had a sansui 33000, I'm talking about pieces that you never see or that you only ever read about, he had everything.

The "furniture style speakers" were KLH Model 23s.

Seriously? The device on top of that vintage TV is an antenna rotor control.

JBL 100s. The king of them all!

Im a big fan of Fisher. If i was stuck on an island, the Fisher 400 would go with me.😂😂

I saw a pair of Realistic Mach One speakers.
