Whole different scale, but I have a bit of a barn find.  A friend of my Dad's bought a farm in the early 70's, and with it came a barn with a bunch of old jukeboxes and pinball machines.  I really wanted the pinball machine, but my Dad wanted a jukebox.  He settled on a 1946 Wurlitzer 1015 that played 78's.  It came with a great big 6 drawer bureau with about 200 extra records and tons of spare parts.  Legend has it he paid $10 for the lot (I suspect it was a bit more, but not much).

I inherited it.  It was about the only thing I really wanted, so my Dad put it in his will.  It still works, and a friend of mine helped me a few years ago to source replacement tubes for the amplifier so I even have some extras.  All the bubblers still work and the records play as original.  It's in my sister's house in Edmonton at the moment, but as soon as I move back to Canada I'll be there with a van to get it.  5cents per play.    :good:

This is an actual picture of it.
