Pioneer CLD-1750 single side Laserdisc player that plays PAL/NTSC + Anamorphic 16:9 LDs for $80 AUD, all it needed was a new tray rubber belt and a power cord and it works 100%.
It will even convert NTSC to PAL and vice versa with a "System" button on the front.

I have soon completed (debugging left) a MFOS Noise Toaster for my gardson and decided to build one for a granddaughter so looking for a bare PCB at the website of MFOS made me disappointed. I also anted to try out the Echo Rockit, but again no PCB in the shop.
However there's a synth company or forum selling the PCBs so I ordered one of each.

As you may know Ray Wilson, the man behind MFOS passed away a couple of years ago. I got my MFOS boards from Ray about 4 years ago. He stated that front panels would be available "shortly" but that never happened.
Synthcube acquired the rights to the MFOS product line about a year ago and continues to supply boards and some of the parts. The front panel and complete kit supply remains spotty but is improving.
I have Ultimate and Ultimate Expander boards populated and mostly functional with the jacks, pots, and switches hanging from the wires. The Ultimate Expander panel is now available. It wasn't there last time I ordered parts from Synthcube. Maybe the Ultimate panel will show up and I can add these two to my analog collection.
I love making noiuse, but can only make a few tunes on a simple wooden flute. However I am sanding a Staropramen (I cannot call it Stratoocaster, can I?) electric guitar body and trying out ways to dye it.
I built the original SoundLab, but still have lots to do. I also have the Soundlab Mk2 and have just made me a cabinet.
The Noise Toaster seems to be a great thing for kids and the Rockit a great thing for moffa (grand dad in Swedish).
For the smaller units I have made the panels myself, printing the layout on a piece of paper and using spray glue, glued the paper on the panel (2mm alu) and covered it in a few layers of clear varnish.
I am happy that Ray managed to invent so much useful and fun stuff and that so easily can be assembled. No hard-to-find components from obscure producers, but very much off-the-shelf stuff.

I just bought a sprinkler and a large bag of lawn fertilizer, and after ten years of no lawn supplements, or extra watering, was much needed. The weeds were dominating at an alarming rate.
Will be spending my extra $ on water here in the next couple months.🙁

Today was a fairly quiet garage sale day. Besides what my wife picked up, I got a couple of shovels and a scraper for a few dollars each, a mint B&D Workmate for $15, and my only audio device was a wireless mic receiver, the karaoke kind, for $5.

Filler spray for my electric guitar (kit-built Strata) and some stain powder (old oak and red mahagony) for plywood boxes.
A pair of old Koss 2+2 quadraphonic headphones. They are great fun
Also got a Yamaha RX-V2700 7.1 HT receiver. It's a beast. Paid less for it than I did for the headphones.

A set of Imperial hex wrenches - I still have a few items that were made in Olde England & the USA. Only $5
