Thrift Store Sighting: Panasonic SA-AK44 CD Stereo System with 5 CD Changer

Here it is in 2024 and I still haunt thrift stores from time to time.  I always drift to the back and the electronics section.  Everyone once in awhile, I even find something interesting.  For example, about a week ago, I saw this Panasonic SA-AK44 CD Stereo System with 5 CD Changer.  It's a pretty big system and shines like a beacon from that shelf.

Unfortunately, the staff at Goodwill is beginning to realize what these shelf-systems might be worth to collectors.  They priced this one at $47.99.  I'm sure it won't last long on the shelves and it probably made someone's day to find this one.


A simple Google search reveals that manuals and remote controls are still available at various places on the internet for this system.  It would definitely be a good system for some lucky thrifter.  For a new system coming in at the same price, check out this one on Amazon:  Magnavox MM435M-SL Compact CD system.
