It's time for Blaine to clean up some of the mess, so maybe some new toys for you.
Admittedly, some of this stuff is not computer related, but it needs a new home, or it will be recycled/trashed. I need to clear out alot of stuff.
All items are free to a GOOD home.
Contact me by messages here or by email.
First up,
Modems and Disk boxes are gone.

Next up Pinebook A64. This was a kickstarter I backed a couple of years ago. It is a laptop based on a pine A64 single board computer, similar idea to a raspberry pi. www.pine64.org/pinebook/ - for more information. Looks like it has grown to include a pro version and phones and tablets now. 14 inch screen, supports a few different os's. This is not a laptop built for production/high end computing. This was a project to build a usable $100.00 laptop.  Next, 2 Dell latitude D630 laptops. These are old, dirty, beat up laptops that will need some help to make usable again. One of the chargers has a damaged cord, so it may not work. I suspect one of them has a damaged/dying hard drive, batteries probably no good.  Next, Vintage Philco Radio. This is a beautiful radio, appears to be in good condition for it's a age. A good restoration candidate ! The down side is that it is a 'farm radio' meaning battery powered. Batteries that don't exist anymore. Some smart folks build power supplies for these radios and if you look around the internet some folks will sell you a power supply. For the foreseeable future, I will not be building of buying a power supply. The radio is pretty enough to a great piece of art on its own, if antiques are your thing.  |

Next candidate, Vintage FADA radio, not sure of the exact date of this radio, but I suspect pre - WW2. It has a couple of cosmetic flaws, but nothing serious, needs full restoration, no back cover or antenna. A beautiful radio and a great piece of art as it is.  Last for today is a vintage Motorola portable radio. It needs full restoration and some cosmetic work. A very cool little radio that can AC or DC/battery power.  An FYI to anyone that made it this far, these radios will NOT be trashed if they don't find new homes. I simply don't see any chance that I'll get around to them for a long time with all of the other projects I have already. Lots more to come, but this is a good start. Cheers. |
