Off-topic unless ridding me of about a half-ton (not much exaggeration) of stuff is home improvement. Over many years when I was into electronics and test equipment, building equipment, etc., I accumulated so much stuff that continues to clutter up the place and never will be of use to me again. Things include:
- A large box of aluminum heat sinks, some drilled for TO3 devices, some anodized
- A large box of transformers and DC power supplies, some dating back to tube days, some low voltage
- Couple hundred vacuum tubes, from sub-miniature up
- Boxes of variable resistors, including 10-turn pots and the vernier dials for 3-digit accuracy
- Miscellaneous coils and chokes
- Hundreds of transistors, diodes, triacs, etc. (anyone remember the first CK722/723 types?)
- Two 40-drawer cabinets full of sorted resistors and capacitors, including many precision types and electrolytics
- Box of blank printed circuit boards and perf boards, mostly fiberglass
- some old IBM XT memory and processor chips
- All sorts of connectors and clips, some gold-plated but small
- A lot of other stuff (you get the idea)
I'm not looking for any return here, just would prefer it not end up in a landfill and hope someone might find it useful or intriguing. Except for disposing of the metal stuff at the local scrap metal facility, searches around here (SE PA) has not turned up any leads, so I would like to poll the brain trust to see if anyone has any ideas. NOTE: the weight of a lot of it probably precludes shipping.
