I couldn’t concentrate on what he’s saying with that label on his hat 😂😂😂👏👏love the old equipment though 👌I think we are all vintage addicts here

Got my first hifi setup in 1974. A Pioneer SX-434 receiver, BIC 920 turntable and KLH model 31 speakers. All for under $250. I see it's not all high end stuff in your video but I could spend hours looking through that inventory. What a treat.

Meanwhile, we poor mortals continue to search for the perfect sound equipment... .

OMG! Let me in there for 10 minutes and point me to the Marantz stuff.

Its absolutely wonderful to see old things that still have a purpose - and the old hifi is interesting too! Greetings and warm regards from a hifi loving relic from New Zealand!

this video gets me excited , I have watched it a couple times , and it is nice to know there are still finds like this out there . I can appreciate the excitement of seeing all the Vintage gear . Thank You for sharing ! . Ray in Pa.

My wife cries over romantic movies and I’m crying while watching this video. Where’s the sansui gear .

This is amazing. A time capsule for someone who grew up in the newer generation.

That is awesome!! Wonder what ever became of all that equipment? Thank you vintagestereos, For taking us back in time and sharing what time had forgot for so long, Also having us imagine what it would be like to own all of that. Great video,

My head would have exploded had I walked into that space... simply unbelievable! - I hope it all went to appreciative new owners!

Amazing ...I´m speechless. All these wonderful gear from the time, when analogue was what we listened to, and finally are doing again, thank god. Down thumbs here are unfortunately lack of culture and hifi knowledge.

This was Oshawa Stereo Sound in Oshawa Ontario Canada, the owner's name was Julius, he passed away at the age 82 about 10 years ago with all the inventory unsold. I have been there a few times, was a surreal experience, it was a joke actually. The JVC XL-Z1010 CD player (the one he holds in the video) was a Stereophile class A recommend comment and a giant killer in the day, it sold for around a grand in the late 80's, he still wanted list price for everything, and of course nobody bought very much. His family liquidated for pennies on the dollar when he died. A forum post from Canuck Audiomart talks about it BIT. ..... "Mike the fellas' name is Julius. He is in his early 80's. The store is Oshawa Stereo Sound and is on Taunton Road in Oshawa. Julius has been around since the late 70's I believe. The fella who started Whitby Audio (Dave Johann) got his start in audio working for Julius way back when. I have bought a bunch of stuff from Julius over the years. People have been trying to buy Julius' inventory for over a decade now but he's declined. A few years ago I approached Julius knowing that he was interested in selling off his inventory. His price back then was "$1Million for everything" including his parts collection, a massive amount of obsolete trade-in gear, and a warehouse full of gear in storage next to his storefront. Most of his stuff is NIB product from the 80's and 90's. He's got a ton of JVC's superdigifine series. Julius' prices are typically MSRP and he's not much into dealing."

I am in heaven - used to be a hifi salesman in that era!

I am watching this 2017 and drooling

That was a very cool video with lots of great vintage gear and paraphernalia, but now I'm kind of interested in the story behind this? Why was all this valuable audio equipment just sitting around in a warehouse unsold for so many decades, and did the guy giving the tour ever explain the background? How do you even sell that huge mass of valuable, vintage equipment and get anywhere close to what's it's worth?

I'll take the Nakamichi stuff!

I can't believe what I looking at here, this is mind-blowing. Fantastic indeed....

It was truly a sight to behold.

I can smell the place! Used to work in a storage warehouse for a large Japanese brand: audio, video and accessories. Home, car and portable. Stacking the wood cabinet floor-model TVs 3 high, by hand, in a tight space. (Showing my age.) What a great job for an audio loving teen.

July 2019 and I am drooling .... what a fantastic find. I hope the guys that bought the stuff really enjoy it.

There's nothing like a warehouse find of vintage stuff!

This reminds me of Raider Of The Lost Ark.

People when they die they go to heaven but for me when I die please send me to that store,my tears are down while watching this video, I am incredibly in lobe with any stuff that made before internet generation

there used to be a market for things that sounded great. listening through an Iphone speaker still sounds like an AM transistor radio to me compared to my Sansui Quad speaker system with 12" speakers, sony turn table playing Ghost in the machine on vinyl I had in the 80's

This is when stuff was made great. The only thing that I would caution on items this old is to make sure the belts are good in the tape decks and old amps should probably be brought up with a variac. I'm sure with minor care, these units are fabulous. I wish I could have been part of this. Thanks for sharing. Very cool.

This is a gold mine !

Great video. I really enjoyed your enthusiasm. What an amazing find!!!!

Hello Sr ! I know this is an old video , but i have to say : CONGRATULATIONS !!! If you sold it or not is no the issue ! The important is : you see it ! in person ! Greetingd from Argentina !!!!

I seen some boxes that had SX on it, i'm drooling right now

70s, 80s, whatever...it would be so cool to dig through all that stuff.

Any audio guy seeing this has to be brought to tears. This is so awesome The Holy Grail of audio finds for damn sure.

any old stuff will one day have value because they capture a moment in history.

Holy crap....this is absolutely amazing. I grew up during this era and actually saw my Garrard turntable and a poster that had my JVC camcorder! This stuff is definitely not junk....there is a huge market for vintage stereo and I would assume anything that is mint in an unopened box would be the holy grail to someone.....too bad that place wasn't close to where I live. It was truly unbelievable.

real cool!! grew up with all that stuff ....

I enjoyed this video much and many thanks for sharing : )

Great questions. I'll be getting into all that in the next couple of months. I want to tell the story but it takes time to make videos and upload them.

They already had DVD-players in the Eighties: 3:35

Is my gold dream to have one new Stereo Audio Syswtem Vintage, JVC, Pioneer, Technics, etc..Actually an impressive collection. Sadelly is not for sale, in t it? Congratullations!!

Very neat those products found customers. I have a few Marantz, Kenwood, Pioneer receivers from the late 1970's. Nothing like this of course. He said about 5 million in stock. I would believe it. The older stereo components are getting big-time attention on eBay and other consumer sites. It is amazing.

That is really nice vintage equipment!

Patiently and humbly awaiting the amazing story.

I don’t want JVC, Accuphase Ok. 😂

I'm very old school in terms of stereo's and all that.

I'm getting vintage, I watched this several years ago and it took 30 seconds to remember.....

Wow wish i could have spent one day in the building picking the pieces i wanted what a collection some people got some great stereos from here im sure

Oh my god... here's my credit card and keep the list on. I'll be in there for awhile! -- Atco

I grew up in the same era where servicing became my passion; imagine going back in time and see it first hand again, "incredible collection" great video, thanks for the look back in time.

this is one hell of a great video,and im sure you will have no trouble in selling this collection....i would give everything i own just for a walk round in there,and if i had 5 million u.s,i would be buying the lot!!!!you have some seriously good pieces of kit in there,some great brands,and never to be seen again like this!

I just want to get some of this Old Technics Audio so so much ;(

Are there some Pioneer sx 1980 or 1250 receivers and pl 530 turntables and rt 909 reel to reel equipment sealed in box there????????

It would have been neat to take a sample of each more component that's aged well in the market and have engineers analyze the values of circuit components vs heavily used working examples.

this plays in my mind over and over again

Hi, I'm not selling this gear. I was years ago but not anymore. Thanks for watching.

This is a TREASURE man ...

OMG That’s amazing 🤩 Incredible that places like this exist… makes you wonder how many other places like this still exist? I would love spending a month sorting and cataloging all the equipment 🤩

Omg....I'm in tears .I want it all ..my kind of place to be . Top brands n brand new ..I mean look at the high end system n speakers . Man wish I could hve been in there...

Honestly all I need is a good vintage amp and my sys will be complete. how to contact? Is any of this for sale?

Somebody really liked JVC..

What a pleasure to watch.

LOL!!! At :39, I recognize that Pioneer sx-750 on the left. :) Looks like the same table i have on top, my old yamaha. :) That's a lotta gear!!!

The main question that everybody were asking is: What is the purpose of this show-off video if none of them are for sale? What?

Outstanding! You lucky soul and thanks for sharing. I'm always amazed at the dicks who leave asinine comments on otherwise great videos like yours.

Absolutely amazing. I bet you never slept for weeks until you heard you never got the contract. looks like one of them jobs people dream about having. Nice one thanks for the memories it conjoured up.

, words cannot express, just wow !!!!!!!

i know this gold mine is gone dammitt !

Show me a room like this full of late 50's early 60's tube audio, THEN I'll drool..

I saw this video in 2012 for the first time when living in Javia Xabia Spain. In 2017 I arrived in Tacoma WA USA. And have bought two complete Pioneer Spec 1 and 2 based rack sets over here last few years and my house full with 75 pieces of other vintage 70's golden hifi age gear (I'm not Spanish but Dutch, but I just lived ih Spain for 4 years between March 2010 and december 2014. After that I lived a year in San José Costa Rica and in jan 2016 till march that year in Panama City, Panama etc etc. Were I have watched this same video also over and over again in my Hotel Rooms! ). Anyways, funny to see this video now again when I do own two complete high end Pioneer Spec 1 and 2 based Spec sets myself now and 70 hifi components. But it all started with this KZfaq video I watched the first time while still living in Spain!

Sir you're killing me, I only need one; also: uploaded 10 yrs ago?! Twist of the knife

How much is your baseball cap?

yeah, at least one other person has asked the obvious questions. What is the story here? Why did it sit for 35 years? Also, why would a business sit on that much inventory for that long and not think anything of it. Just doesn't happen (or so I thought until seeing this) C'mon. Let's have some backstory. Spit it out.

If this Era of Coronavirus still persists,then there is no new production coming out,these vintage stuff will be a boom in the market.

i cant believe my eyes! its incredible.... wow

Where is that warehouse located please let me know. I am living in Austria and very interested. Ramon Borreguero

Imagine the magnificent Reel to Reel machines in this warehouse??? This is the candy store of my dreams. The only components that might age are the caps and rubber belts. The beauties in this warehouse deserve good homes. Compare this to today's audio junk.

3 or 4 summers ago,a guy had an "estate" sale at a house 4 blocks from me. The whole inside of that house(every room),the party shed in back yard and even his garden shed were stacked to the ceiling with '70's audio gear.There were two vans in the driveway that were also jammed full.The two vans never moved for 20 years or more.I managed to buy a couple things but fortunately was a little short on cash.(whew).TEAC A-6300-$35.00, TANDBERG 10XD-$20.00,and tons more. I haven't seen him in a while(he finally sold house) We've dealt back and forth 4 or 5 times and I'm glad I got to know him.I'm known to have far too much crap but I've only seen any thing like that that one time...WOW!!!

Love your collection

can we have the back story about this discovery

Holly grail just been discovered :)

Wow, Nice set up and that"s when they made stuff to last back then.

there's an old audio guy that started collecting when he was a teenager living in Vancouver BC,,he has a couple of warehouses completely packed..but won't sell anything..he 's turned into a real hoarder, man, he's has so much tube equipment, vintage high-end reel to reel's, turntables.......my friend has been there a few times, only because the old guy is a friend of the family....maybe some day is all we can wish!

So 5 years on has this stock been sold, scrapped or still there? It's not worth anything if it's not being sold! For all those saying it's just low end junk I think I'd rather see the newbies who are getting into vinyl use this rather than certain suitcase style turntables!

Where is this place????????

I really do not understand why he is not selling this treasure, but i saw this video many years ago.

My Akai Dream right there

The 27 people who gave it a thumbs down don't know true power and sound and probably never will. It's ok with cause i have mine!!

Pretty cool, but 90 percent of this stuff is low- to mid-fi doorstop material. Whoever invested in this will be hard-pressed to make a profit unless they inherited it.

A lot of very nice new in box stuff,really cool.

A lot of stuff for the Pioneer and JVC fans

my god that was a a pioneer sx 3800... a stack of brand new sx 3800? I'd kill for a chance...

This seems shady to me. Those DVD players aren't from the 70's, that's for sure.

God, I would have loved to explore this place.

A lot of good stuffs. Almost 50 years of vintage hifi changes bring back a lot of memories. Probably those born around 60s to 70s will have a lot of fond memories. Why don't have a grand sales for some of those stuffs ? Have a museum built for these stuffs ! I am sure many people will get to enjoy to listen to these stuffs. Charge the visitors and it will be able to self sustain and maintain its operation. Meantime, enjoy!

Perhaps a professional camera person would be helpful. the fast zoomed panning is enough to make you drunk.

The warranty is expired on all of it and how did this guy get in there all giddy giddy. He must be Minnie Pearls brother with that price tag on his hat but at least he got in to show everyone a stereo lovers tomb of treasures. China could never equal the quality of the Japanese.

hell, this is a greater find then King Tut's tomb!

At the beginning of the video he says this is 2011, so safe to say most of this is long gone...

what good is it if we cant buy any of it---so why even tease the hell out of everyone??

Take the tag off your frigging cap.

It's like walking back in time through the stockroom of a Crazy Eddies or Tech HiFi back in the 1970s!

I still use my Akai 8030 Hi fidelity tuner amp that I bought in 1978. Had it serviced once in 1995. I love it.
