The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

they actually still make those Maid Rite washboards (but that one could be vintage for all i know)

Yep, hence the question mark. It was cheap enough to kop either way. Now I just need to kop some overalls, a few bulb horns, and a stoneware jug.

EDIT: Think it's actually vintage, considering the markings on the back side don't match current production, and they only make stainless steel and not brass now. Regardless, worth the price for my needs.

@Van Veen
What size Florsheim you wear?

Assuming 9D, since that's what I wear in most dress shoes.

Thread is so en fuego right now. I'm crying

Hmmm I have a pair of Florsheim imperial long wing shell cordovan for sale in a 9.5 C, not sure if that would work or not

They are big, walnut with HUGE woofers.

Yes, Realistic was Radio Shack brand but a lot of the old (60's-70's) Realistic branded stuff was pretty solid quality. The Mach II's are definitely not the end-all-be-all in sound reproduction but they are no slouch either! Lots of people seem to like them well enough. I love old speakers but sadly hardly come across them anymore. I hope you enjoy your new pair!

Realistic was a Radio Shack brand...I'd pass unless they're something weird and 60s 70s funky like pod speakers.

I said I wasn't gonna go out. But I'm a liar.

Thanks for the Polo Sport info, everyone! (And I see there are two Men of Kent now -- crazy).

Unfortunately, I think I'd fit a 9E better than a 9.5C. (And this is the kind of thing I'd rather find on my own than buy, anyway.)
