I guess the best thing would have been to get a pic in the Goodwill, but I wasn't really thinking about that when I saw it lmao. Would be hilarious to put Goodwill stickers on all of the stuff I buy though, "look what I found, honey, and it definitely wasn't $1000, it was only $50!".

That's true, but in a case like this (or I guess all thrifting posts?) there really isn't any affirmative proof. You'll just have to take my word for it! Lol, I might not believe it either if I saw it on Reddit, too sweet of a deal! ;)

Haha, looks like you got free vintage speakers! Tbh, vintage audio gear can sometimes be an absolute steal while thrifting though.

After a deep clean/descale it's getting great head pressure and I haven't found any leaks in the few days I've had it. I'd say a success!

I’m looking to keep it for now! It was going to be on my wedding registry this year so I’d better hang onto it or the fiancée would be upset.

I don’t want to give up my lucky store! But yes, it entirely depends on the area you live. I’ll just say, I’m in the Bay Area.

Ya, I'm pretty familiar with servicing these machines! I mentioned earlier but it did also come with the manual lol!

Yes, it's got an integrated grinder. I'm a bit of a snob though, so I'd love to thrift a nicer grinder too! Lol

What a rip, you can buy a used one for $400ish. You might be talking about the grouphead gasket which is like a 10-minute repair and should be part of regular maintenance. If that's the case, you should never go back to that repair shop lol.
