Here are some photos of the Orange Crush 12 guitar amplifier that I found on the street a week or so ago.

It has a surprisingly good sound. You can get a very good jazz tone without a lot of effort. The controls are very responsive.

For now I put the cover on my Roland Cube 60 and am using this amp instead. Today I found an AC power cord for it on the street (with a broken TV that I didn't take).

@passthejoe found on the street?

@ianto_jones Somebody who must have been moving put it out with a retro-style radio/record-player (didn't take) and some other furniture and clothing. Stuff on the curb is common, but musical gear is not.

@passthejoe well that's just crazy and a great find. Yeah, I moved to an area not long ago where folks put out unneeded items which was new to me, but makes perfect sense. Definitely never seen any musical gear, though. 😄

@ianto_jones A lot of people put stuff out on the curb.

I take a lot to Goodwill, mostly because they'll take almost anything without giving me a hard time.

But I did put out a couple of things recently. A 1,000-foot roll of CAT 5 (don't need it) and a door sweep (same). The wire went, the door sweep didn't.
