Music box mechanism (Crestwood, NW DC)
If I remember correctly, this was from a gift: a little statuette of a ballerina or angel or something like that, that rotated when wound up. It fell and the little figurine broke. The music box part works fine though, and could be used to make a new rotating figure thing or just a music box for jewelry or whatever. Free to a good home. App seems not to let one post videos so I can’t show it working and let you hear the song, but happy to email or text such a video to anyone interested.

2012 MacBook Air for parts (Crestwood, NW DC)
This nice little MacBook Air fell victim to a spilled glass of milk several years ago. I’m handy and like to fix stuff, so I started taking it apart, carefully attaching screws to a piece of tape and labeling them, … and then got pulled away by parenting, or work, or god knows what. Haven’t managed to get back to it in several years, so giving up on it. Presumably some parts got fried by the liquid milk, but presumably other parts are in perfectly good shape, maybe even the screen? Battery pack? I don’t really know. If nothing else, the hardware is fine: screws, frame, keys, etc. The hard drive is missing - I think I may have canabalized that for storage. Power cord (taped) included. See photos. Free to a good home. Model A1465 EMC 2558 Questions welcome.

Toilet paper rolls (Aspen Hill)

we have gotten into the habit of saving toilet paper rolls and paper towels tubes. Seems like there is usually some project where they are needed... but now we have a lot and don't have a particular need for them. Do you want some? If so, how many?
