Neck massager w/o power adapter (Valencia Avenue, Sunnyvale)
HoMedics Comfort Foam Vibration Neck Massager with Heat (Model NMSQ-216H-2), missing power adapter. It has a zippered cover and a looped strap on each end. It is missing the power adapter. Near building 1075 Valencia Avenue in Sunnyvale, off South Mary Avenue and behind the Crosswalk Church. Please include your available pick up time in your response and I will send you directions. The following is information from the Internet about the features and use of the massager and about replacement of the power adapter: Product Specifications: * Brand: HoMedics * Model: NMSQ-216H-2. * Power Input: 5.9V == 4.7W. * Features: Invigorating vibration massage, soothing heat function, comfort foam design, and 2 speed setting. * Safety Certifications: ETL Listed (Intertek 3082382), conforms to UL STD 1647, and certified to CSA STD C22.2 NO. 68. (Intertek ETL listed mark 3082382). * Manufacturing: Made in China The looped straps on each end of the HoMedics NMSQ-216HJ-2 neck and shoulder massager serve two main purposes: * Adjusting Massage Intensity: You can slip your hands or arms through the loops and pull downward. Because the massager relies on physical contact to work, pulling down on the straps applies more physical pressure, making the vibration or kneading nodes dig deeper into your muscle knots. If you want a gentler massage, simply release the tension on the straps. * Targeted Repositioning: The loops function as ergonomic handles, allowing you to easily shift, slide, or hold the massager in place. This makes it simple to guide the vibrating nodes exactly where you need them—whether that is higher up on your neck, lower across your shoulder blades, or focused on one specific side. The zipper on the cover of the HoMedics NMSQ-216HJ-2 neck massager is designed strictly for factory assembly and internal maintenance. Important Guidelines Regarding the Zipper * Do Not Unzip or Remove: The outer fabric cover is not removable and not machine-washable. Unzipping it reveals the raw internal wiring, heating elements, and the vibration motor mechanism. * Safety & Damage Risks: Attempting to force the cover off can tear or snap the delicate internal wires connecting the control panel to the heating coils and motor. * Manufacturing Purpose: During production, the zipper allows factory workers to insert the pre-wired mechanical and foam components into the fabric housing before it is zipped shut and permanently secured. How to Clean the Cover Safely: Because you cannot remove the cover to wash it, you should clean it using spot-cleaning methods instead: * Use a soft, slightly damp sponge or cloth to wipe down the fabric. * If necessary, use a very mild soap solution to clean spot stains. * Never submerge the massager in water or allow moisture to seep inside the fabric, as liquid will permanently ruin the electrical heating and motor components. * Let the fabric air-dry completely before plugging the power adapter back in. Replacement of the power adapter: Several compatible third-party replacement power adapters are available for this HoMedics NMSQ-216HJ-2 neck and shoulder massager. When looking for a replacement online, listings often omit the "J-2" modifier or replace the "HJ" with color codes like "GY" (Gray), so searching for "Homedics NMSQ-216H replacement adapter" or "NMSQ-216HJ"will yield the best results. Compatible Replacement Options * MPKKE AC Adapter: A dedicated compact option featuring the correct barrel connector size required for the NMSQ series. It can be found directly on Amazon. * Guy-tech AC/DC Adapter: Specifically listed for the NMSQ-216HJ massager line with built-in protection against over-voltage and short circuits. It is available online through retailers like Walmart. [1] * Yankeeplug 6V Premium Adapter: A standard 6V wall charger compatible with the NMSQ-216H-2 power requirements. It can be sourced directly from listings on eBay. [1] Critical Specifications to Verify If you choose to use a universal multi-tip power adapter instead, verify that the manual configuration matches these parameters exactly to avoid damaging the unit: * Voltage: 5.9V or 6V DC (Never plug a 12V adapter into this device, as it will burn out the motor). * Amperage / Wattage: Must support at least 0.8A (800mA) or 4.7W. Higher amperage (like 1A or 2A) is safe to use, as the device will only pull the power it needs. * Polarity: Center-positive tip (usually indicated by a \(\oplus \) symbol pointing to the center dot). Find a multi-tip universal adapter that meets these exact voltage specs. Universal Multi-Tip Power Adapter Use a universal adapter with interchangeable tips for the massager. To safely power the HoMedics device, configure the adapter exactly as follows: 1. Set the Voltage to 6V: Universal power supplies usually have a sliding switch or a dial key. Slide it precisely to the 6V position. (The slight 0.1V difference from the label's 5.9V is perfectly within safe operating tolerances for this device). 2. Verify Amperage / Output Capacity: Ensure the universal adapter package states an output capacity of at least 1A (1000mA) or 2A (2000mA). The massager only draws 4.7W (roughly 0.8A), so a 1A or 2A adapter provides plenty of safe overhead power without overheating. 3. Set the Tip Polarity to Center-Positive: Most multi-tip sets allow you to plug the modular barrel tip into the cord in two directions. Align the markings so the plus sign \(\oplus \) corresponds to the center pin/inside of the tip. Check the plug tip size. You can find high-quality options like the UL Listed 6V Universal Adapter Kit with 8 Tips directly on Amazon. To activate the heating function on your HoMedics NMSQ-216HJ-2 neck massager, follow these exact steps according to the HoMedics UK Instruction Manual and related HoMedics NMSQ product specifications: 1. The Core Requirement: Plug it in * The adapter must be connected: You must have the power supply adapter plugged into a wall outlet and connected to the device. * Battery limitation: While this massager can operate on 4 AA batteries for cordless portability, batteries will only power the vibration. The internal battery compartment does not deliver enough wattage to run the heating element, so heat will not turn on unless the cord is plugged in. 2. Operating the Control Pad The control pad is built seamlessly into one side of the massager (near where the loop straps connect). * Turn on the Massage First: Press the Power Button once to start the low-speed vibration. (Pressing it a second time changes it to high-speed). * Activate the Heat: While the massage motor is running, press the Heat Button (typically designated by a wavy lines icon, a red button, or an adjacent red indicator light). * Verify: A red internal light will illuminate beneath the mesh fabric near the node areas to show the heat is actively warming up. Note: The heat is engineered to be a mild, soothing, and comfortable warmth rather than a intense hot-pad temperature to prevent skin irritation during localized vibration. Allow a few minutes for the coils to gently warm through the foam padding. If you are pressing the button while plugged in and the red indicator light does not activate, let me know if you're using a universal adapter or the original factory cord, as a lack of sufficient amperage can prevent the heating element from pulling enough power!

Very sturdy corner desk (Sunnyvale (Wolfe & Homestead))
This is an IKEA item however it was built in Germany about 35 years ago and imported here with a family that moved to the US. It is VERY sturdy. The configuration shown has the left side 87" from corner and right side is 47". If the extension is reversed, the left edge is 63" from corner to edge (31" deep) and the right edge is 78" from corner (24" deep). Can also be used without the extension so the left side is 63", right side is 47". There is wear and tear on the surface and edge, but still has lots of life left. Would be disassembled for transportation, but needs a large sedan or SUV for the tabletop. I will show you how it is assembled (not complicated, but helpful to see how parts go together). Pickup near in Sunnyvale near Wolfe & Homestead.
