Audio buffs filled a Newton store parking lot in search of vintage gear and records on June 8.
Innovative Audio's annual "garage sale" was held in high heat on that very sunny Sunday.
"It's the busiest yet, but with the heat I think it'll taper off soon," shop operator Gord Sauck said at around noon.
The annual event, billed as B.C.'s largest vintage audio and record garage sale, sees dealers set up no charge. Admission is free for attendees, too.
The long-established store claims the title of Canada's largest vintage audio emporium, full of old receivers, jukeboxes, "ghetto blasters," classic rock posters, 8-track tapes, turntables, T-shirts and more, at 13255 78 Ave., Surrey.
The garage sale brought bins of records (some sold for $5 each, or four for $15), tubes for amplifiers, chest-high speakers, guitars and assorted gear.
"It's anything audio-related," store employee Mark Smith said before this year's sale. "We get between 35 and 50 vendors. It's on a Sunday so we've got the lot to ourselves, nobody here, and they all set up. People come and go, check it out. It's steady with people taking stuff to their cars, coming back. I've noticed a lot more record-buyers in recent years."
