Hi all,

I've accumulated several boxes of useful bits and pieces with which I
must now part ways. I'm hoping much of it can find a new use rather than
trundling off to e-waste.

There are about 3 boxes of stuff. If anyone's minded to take it all,
they'd be welcome. Otherwise I'll bring one box at a time in to the
space for people to pick through and then remove the remainders to
e-waste after a week (if this arrangement is agreeable to the board).

Photos of the highlights: http://james.laird-wah.net/pub/stuff_201609/
That's not everything but it's my favourite bits...

These include:

- a router (the spinny kind)
- morse key (needs some love)
- 12V (suitable for car) ATX PSU
- a 36W SOX-E low pressure sodium lamp and a hacked ballast to match,
just needs a bayonet base and 240v
- cute PSoC4 development sticks
- bits of Teflon coated sheet
- a bunch of interesting locks incl. Abloy Classic and Bi-Lock
removable core
- several gamepads
- DC-DC converters and a couple of 15A 12V PSUs
- an Intel Galileo (go on then)
- diverse SATA controllers, enclosures, and even a couple of 1-to-4
port multipliers (great for building slow but cheap NAS boxes)
- some 3D video goggles and some sort of video processor
- a bunch of halogen lighting gear
- the world's lamest ARM netbook
- a beefy bike headlight
- various USB knickknacks and adapters

Cheerio,
James

I don't know if I got in too soon, but the link doesn't work.

I may be interested in the Morse key.  I know people who are into that stuff and may appreciate it.

Hi James,

I'd love to grab the following;

- a 36W SOX-E low pressure sodium lamp and a hacked ballast to match, 
  just needs a bayonet base and 240v
- DC-DC converters and a couple of 15A 12V PSUs 

I'll get in touch off-list.

Cheers,
Sam

So, for the morse key, how would I get it?

I also maybe wouldn't mind the SATA bays and maybe some of the power supplies.

I'm guessing you are in Sydney.  I have wheels.   :)
(I just need to get some noise juice but that's another problem)

Very interested in the router (love bosch tools) and key (also love my CW but don't have a key!), but I do see others looked at these. If you don't want PLEASE let me know.

Also interested in...
- 12V ATX PSU 
- an Intel Galileo (go on then) 
- 3d video goggles / processor
- bike headlamp

Cheers,

Adrian.

Will work out collection once confirmed what's available.

Hi James, 

When are you likely to make it to the space with this stuff? No hurry, just need to plan my week, that's all :)

Does this gameboy actually works? I never had that. Don't know what involves into making it work. My kid might like it.

Thanks James,

Is anyone able to collect and post the few things I got (12V ATX + Galileo + 3d gear) to me at all? We can work out payment and other details off list...
