It was neat to see those Exotica reel to reel tapes.

That Akai is really Killer. I have Vol 1 of the Lyman Exotica on LP....Love that stuff, Martin Denny and Les Baxter too. Man it must be great living in that part of the country with all the open space and no crowds. My Dad worked around there way back in the 1950s on the Platt oil pipeline, he always told me it was his favorite part of the country.

Use a flashlight 🔦 in dark places like under a table.

Just picked up that Sam The Sham on vinyl ( full length ).. Your doin' what it takes.. hitting the bricks, hitting the road, all of that ! Will tune in for the big haul next week ! ✌️

17:57 I LOVE old-timey Jazz! And it’s the area of my vinyl collection that’s thriving recently because nobody else seems to be into trad Jazz or big band jazz. Just means more records for me! Enjoying this video, as always, Tuco. Skol! Jeff

Hi Tuco!! great Akai Reel to reel deck..... bever seeing one like that before, score of the day!! cheers and be well

I figure at this point in your life you are an expert at one handed crate digging

$40 Reel to reel!!!!!! Cool 45's, Thanks for taking us along!

I scored a couple Willie Nelson on Atlantic from Aardvark last year.

5:29 The Comics are awesome! Some great grey wash covers. Collectors love them.

Some cool reel to reels,, I wouldn't liked to had some Kiss reels back when I collected Kiss, but never found any.

Dude you shoulda snatched up those horror comics! $4 is a steal for those classic horror books! Those are books I’m always hoping to run into! Man those Monsters on the Prowl are not cheap! I would’ve found out who that vendor was and cut a deal for the whole box! LoL! I was drooling over all those books! I find those antique malls are over priced tho for records! That Spaced Out LP I showed you awhile back was $20 at an antique mall! And there was tons of shit like that All $20 +! Back to the video! ✌️👽

49:03 Awesome score on that reel-to-reel!! Wow!! And Esquivel and Arthur Lyman on reel-to-reel? What!?And Stereo Action!!? Amazing! I have never ever seen those in all my crate digging. Hardly ever see reel tapes at all. Very nice, Tuco!!

Tuco, you had me upon seeing that gorgeous Akai reel-to-reel deck! Holy cow! More than 20 years ago, I bought several Akai reel-to-reel decks on eBay including an Akai GX-646 deck like that one, but mine is a silver model with its original heart-shaped plastic dust cover. What I paid 20 years ago ($100 to $200 per unit on average and about $350 for an Akai GX-646)) is still a fraction of what they sell for now ($1,000 to $1,200 or more), so what a treat to see one of the top Akai models at a garage sale for a bargain price of only $40. Plus, the black Akai reel decks sell for even higher prices than the more common silver models, so that was quite the score, Tuco. :)

That R2R is a great find! Also liked your reels!

I have the mule skinner blues on Soma singed by Jim Rinquist. Had to pay up though. Nice Reel to Reel. I have 3 of them but not an Akai. Tough record dig this time. But The video makes me long for summer.

Hey Steve, same here in antiquey places, so often overpriced occasionally underpriced by the clueless. Stalls are so expensive too so I kinda get it. That was hard work but you seemed to enjoy it. You are like me go in for some small talk jokey chat just be yourself rather than a hard nosed dealer 🙂

Hey TUCO great score on the Reel to Reel! Man seems like if a guy had more time he could make a day of that garage sale day on 92 LoL! I streamed that Fendermen 45 and damn that’s some good early RnR! I too am a fan of Sam the Sham! Some cool exotica and space age groovies! Man I still can’t tell what’s good and what’s not in that genre I may have left some goodies I didn’t recognize in a bargain bin over the weekend I may have to go back LoL! Another great vid TUCO! Peace ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️

hey steve,i think you're right some on some those 10 inch jazz albums old fashioned jazz,but the one you picked up Ralph Burns he's a jazz pianist,i would have grabbed that one too and i like woody herman,that's one i'd want.

hi used to put ad's in the free add's in the uk before ebay was around when i was picking up i used to see alot of gear when someone died there's alot of gear left and lot of it is ace and now it's all dad to son now and things don't hitt the used market place in the uk wee have a car boot they are bad now all the gear has gone

Great video thanks

Very nice Akai ! You skipped several albums of the pretty Nancy Sinatra! You collect her records? Maybe you had already those records of her? Keep on digging for that black gold brother!

Beautiful reel to reel, great job Tuco :)

Drives all over central Nebraska not finding much and then 1 block from your house you score that R2R for $40. The reels alone were worth more than that.

You've got me scrolling through axe head listings on eBay. Job well done.

You must be a mind reader haha. I was just thinking how much I hate having the stickers on the covers and then you said that :-) The local record store I do a lot of my in-store purchases from puts a small sticker on the backs of each LP with a date and the price. It is really small but what I don't mind so much about it is they are easy to peel off once you get home. I've bought some that had been on for a few years that were a little more difficult to cleanly remove but in the long run they aren't too terribly bad. I learned to wait until I've listened to the LP and made sure it was something I wanted to keep before taking that back sticker off too. I wish nobody put stickers on the LP's cover just so there wasn't any risk of tearing the cover or leaving that gunky residue behind. I hope your 2023 is off to a good start and keep on making these interesting find videos. Like I said before, it makes me feel like I'm out doing it but I can't due to my vision and lack of being able to drive anymore. It sure makes me want to though! I'll just keep living vicariously through your videos until I can find a way to get out and do some searching myself again 👍 Brian in Fort Worth 🎶

would have grabbed the dizzy album lol..,just found a reel to reel in a dumpster akai working in good shape ...

Taboo vl 2 is actually the first album David Axelrod produced

3:06 Hilarious! 😂

Great video! I don't know if u have it or don't like them But that First Black oak arkansas album u flipped past is pretty good cheers!

Gotta love it when they charge high prices for meh records under crappy clothing. At least they weren't stored horizontally -- I have a big pet peeve with antique mall vendors charging high prices while improperly storing their vinyl. The Association as the first record in a crate - the price is a great indicator of if that booth is reasonable or delusional in pricing. I never know what to say to people when they ask "what kind of records are you looking for" because I (like you) have very eclectic tastes and often the weirdest thing in the crate is the one I'm most likely to buy.

There's no way on earth I could have put those horror comics back! They looked awesome. 🧟‍♂🧟‍♀🧟

What ever happened to TUCO? I miss his videos!

Aardvark? Sounds like a good name for a rock band! OK, let's see the high prices of this co-op - yep, just as I thought! The Peggy Lord LP looks interesting though, doesn't sell for much on discogs, they say it's non-music comedy - a wallhanger cover though. Did you buy that Slim Pickens record? lol. ...Did you see that guy ahead of you buying all those records at that one yard sale - he had quite a pile! ...You missed that brand new toilet seat! ...Highway 92 revisited: Barn sale: how much was the barn? Did you axe? ...Oh well, nothing but junk this time - except for the Slim Pickins LP! ...PS - the 45s (and the tape player - if it works) was your saving grace this time. Until next Sunday...

I thought all these malls went out of bizz 20 years ago.

Not in Canada we do not have this cool staff and people on garage sales asking top $$$$-

The R2R caps are 75$ apice.

I have a solo record of Mr Sam of Sam Sham ……

I don't mind the record store prices in antique malls if they're going to also have quality grading. But I'd bet all of them are pretty trashed, sadly, at the full EX price.

If you want peace and quiet go to an antique store

$40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Antique stores are among the worst places for vinyl digs, because each of the dealers have pie-in-the-sky hopes that THEIR mangled John Gary and Pickwick orchestra albums will snag an unsuspecting “new” vinyl enthusiast. At least more common record stores will never have the chutzpah to take them from their dollar section.

lmao.. load-bearing record😂

the akai is not worth 1,200 that too much for that model

Hey TUCO, I started going through some more of those 400 plus mostly NM or mint LPs that were passed on to me by a friend last April. A lot of the music just isn't my kind, as in this example I'm going to post a link to, but I know you like those exotica covers also so I thought I'd share this one with you. You probably have it but maybe not? It's taken me about an hour to get the dead wax info but I finally got it well enough with my magnifier and a few photos. But anyhow, I thought of you when I saw The cover on this one. A lot of these albums I've never seen or heard before. Have you ever run across this one? It's definitely not my kind of music but I'm surprised they would have been able to put this album cover out in 1982 when the LP was released :-) Michael Franks - Objects Of Desire Url: www.discogs.com/release/2545343-Michael-Franks-Objects-Of-Desire Brian in Fort Worth 🎶
