Many moons ago myself and a number of other folks raided/collected electronics from Fred’s Warehouse.
See here: Warehouse Gathering
In any case, I’ve decided that I have lots of things I will not use in my life time. I have too many interests these days. A lot of the stuff has real value if I was to sell it on ebay, but I don’t feel this is the purpose Fred intended his generous gift for.
As a result I will be bringing a lot of stuff to DMS over the upcoming weeks. The first batch is coming Tuesday I think. I’m going to put it on the Freebie shelf unless someone like @artg_dms tells me to put it somewhwhere else.
Here are some of the pictures from the collection. Note the numerous fans in the box. There are both 220V and 110V in the box. There are some lithium batteries in the box. Some transformers and some relays. Oh and a cool frequency oscillator/signal generator.
This is just the beginning of the collection because Fred’s warehous was huge and some of us got a little carried away with our collections.
If you’re interested it should go onto the shelf before the blacksmithing committee meeting at 7PM on Tuesday.
Also I’m going to bring some wood pen blanks/scraps which I intended to make pens, bottle stoppers or christmas ornaments from. Most of the wood is domestic although there might be a stray exotic in the collection. If no one wants them I’ll stop by after a week or so and dispose of them appropriately. Most of the pen blanks are labeled but I confess I got a little carried away making blanks from almost any kind of wood I could get my hands on. FYI: There is no way to make 1000 pens in my lifetime and I’ll bet that is how many blanks I have left at home. I know there is some bois d arc, elm, oak and cypress in the lot, but I don’t recall all of the rest.
