Bulk vintage bin find

I had an awesome find over the weekend I wanted to share. A guy posted that he was selling all his childhood LEGO from the mid-80's. There were about 8 different sets he said were in there, including the 6399 airport shuttle, but I really had no idea since it was all jumbled together. I saw a few pieces of monorail track, so I took a chance and bought the bin for $100. I've been sorting through everything, and the 6399 was in there pretty much complete, including the motor which still works. I've been sorting the rest of it and have found 6390 Main Street, 6375 trans air carrier, and 6368 jet airliner. He also says the 7720 diesel freight train and 5580 big rig are in there, as well as some smaller sets, but I haven't sorted those yet. The sets so far are only missing a few minor pieces, which I should be able to bricklink cheaply. Overall I've been thrilled with the purchase, and never knew much about vintage LEGO so it's been fun to just go through it all.
