A few pointers

Before you buy

Condition matters, especially with records and old electronics.

Wooden vinyl record bins and collectibles inside Beachcomber Vintage
Record bins at Beachcomber Vintage.
A.

Check the record itself

Take it out of the sleeve. Look for scratches and warps under a light, and ask to hear it if you’re unsure.

Find the shops on the map
B.

Try it on if you can

Older size labels can be misleading. Bring measurements from something that fits, and check the underarms, seams and zipper.

C.

Look underneath

Check for maker’s marks, chips, old repairs and missing parts. With a stereo or other old electronics, ask what has actually been tested.

On foot

The boulevard walk

Start near the freeway and work your way down Morro Bay Boulevard. Turn onto Main or Beach Street for the side stops, then carry on to the waterfront.
