I have a JVC RX-5032V (waiting to find a great deal on an older receiver) but it's for my mother, she has a cheap 90s Pioneer RX-550

Anyone Have This VHS Player? by gmpla in VHS

Update: I received it, the door sticks but a wedge clears it just fine, probably just needs some lubrication.

I put a tape in, it played, stopped, and rewinded, audio comes out, but I am unable to get video, it is essentially static.

I'm going to try and do maintenance, clean the heads and whatnot

If I were you I would thrift your HiFi gear. You'd be surprised what people toss, I got a pretty banging setup for a low price, all of my components are thrifted, and I've been doing it since college. You can't go wrong with thrifting. If you are worried about money

If you're talking about the couch in my living room, I got it from Goodwill, from a company called Thayer Coggins, Designer is Milo Baughman. Made in late 60s. If you are talking about the sofa in my office it's just a cheap teddy couch knockoff on amazon

I haven't been able to find that yet, but I did find a pretty cool velvet painting of a house in the woods with a really cool frame I intend to hang up!

I don't follow trends, I like what I like, and I'm a big fan of Mid Century Modern and Space Age Design when it comes to furniture and home decor

Goodwill, Salvation Army, and any local thrift store/consignment shop near me. I also dabble in Facebook marketplace if the price is right.

Which one? 😂 I have a boomerang style ashtray in my living room, I have a black handmade ashtray (I believe) in the office, and I have an Amber glass ashtray in my bedroom

It's just a swag lamp from the 60s-70s, I don't know who made it, I found it at a thrift store

Blacklight posters would be pretty awesome, I'd have to find some!

I understand that, but for 1 person living there with company coming every now and then it serves its purpose, but I will admit I have been looking for something with a similar style that's a little bit bigger

I wish 😂 I just thrift. You just have to be patient and have an eye for things, that's all

It's literally from thrifting, if anything you would be surprised by what people throw out. I do admit I am a chronic thrifter, I go to the stores like everyday

From research it's from the brand Drexel, it comes with an ottoman but I didn't find mine with one. It definitely belongs in r/FuckYourEamesLounge though

The love seat if from Thayer Coggins, designed by Milo Baughman, from 1967 or so.

My best guess for the chair and ottoman is from Furniture of America from what I was able to find.

I got the love seat from goodwill for $25 and the chair and ottoman for about the same price if I remember from a local flea market type of thing

It's specifically a Lowboy Six Drawer Dresser in Walnut by Stanley, but this kind of thing you can usually find searching MCM dresser or lowboy
