Hello,
The company I work for was once an Okidata certified repair shop and has a plethora of parts left over from yesteryear. Before I take them to be recycled I though maybe the space would have a use for them.
Attached is a spreadsheet of parts that will be going (give or take). It is an all or nothing deal and will be getting rid of them on Friday one way or another.
Please let me know!
Thanks,

Tyler Lynch

Your spreadsheet didn't attach.

Approximately how much stuff are we talking about?  A compact trunk full?  A pickup bed full?  A box truck full?

Oops! It should be there now. Probably between a trunk and a van full.

Not sure how useful that stuff would be. The line feed motors from a dot matrix printer are probably not fine enough for something like a 3D printer or CNC, but I could be wrong.

I would say 'pass' on the whole lot. Printer parts tend to be too esoteric for general use. We still have a box of shafts, motors, and misc from a stack of printers and scanners we harvested that has barely been drawn from. If someone has a specific and immediate use for a particular piece, cool. Otherwise, the hack rack is already full and needs no more. 

Thank you,
Nabíl

I'd add a thank you, Tyler, for thinking of us and reaching out to the group. We do appreciate it, we just already have piles of parts.
