Textured Victorian patterned wallpaper painted with a matt emulsion. Transformed the room acoustics and it was getting done, anyway.
I had a squeezebox touch for around 10 years in different systems. I thought it was a bargain, even at RRP. Sold it on eBay for a similar amount.
Lencos can still be good value and, with the right plinth and a half decent arm, can rival a similarly treated 401.
Other things that can still be bargains and quite widely found include some 1980s / 1990s cd players, and large pre 1980s Goodman's and Wharfedale speakers. All of the above can be modded / updated fairly easily too.
