Free: Basketball Hoop (Bethany area) Old school, really good solid quality hoop. I used this in the 1970's & 80's with my kids, then moved to places where I couldn't put it up, so stored it. It's such a nice one, I couldn't get myself to part with it, but now is the time. It has a good coat of primer, could use a coat of paint if you want it a different color, a net and backboard - this is really worth the trouble.

Free: Child's blocks (Bethany area) I made these for my nephew, probably in the late 1960's. When he outgrew them, they gave them back for our kids. They've been in storage for decades. The bag has a small, easy to patch hole in it, and the blocks have been used, but in good shape for more generations.

Free: Wacker Jumping Jack Compactor (Bethany area) This is probably a minor project to get running reliably - I believe that is probably not a big deal for a reasonably handy person. Stopping the foot assembly from slowly leaking oil would be another project - it didn't bother me. I bought this years ago, used it some and it sat for several years. Used it again and it was temperamental, seemed to be running out of fuel, so I cleaned the tank, added new fuel line and filter. I think the carb probably needs cleaned and maybe some work on the fuel tank/fuel delivery system. The bottom end (compactor foot assembly) slowly leaks oil. If you can store it on something to make that not a problem, it wasn't a problem for me, you probably don't need to bother about it. I never looked into repairing that. I think for the cost of one rental, you can have a good working unit.

Free: Misc. Vacuum Tubes (Bethany area) Gifted Box of misc. vacuum tubes. No idea how many are working, probably most or all, but really don't know - they were saved by my son. The pictures of the tubes show a random sample and the box with tubes wrapped in newspaper gives an idea of quantity - I haven't counted them. Will text about pickup time and address when confirmed that someone wants them.

Free: Crib mattress and some bedding (Bethany area) Approx. 27" X 51 1/2" crib mattress, used very little. We bought it new and was used when our grandson visited and needed a crib. Includes a bed pad and two fitted sheets. The photos don't show it well, but these items are clean and ready to put to use.

Free: Milwaukee Sawzall (Bethany area) Gifted Not in new condition, but is complete and fires right up when plugged in and trigger pulled. I have another corded one and two cordless ones - don't need this one. It even still has the hex key to change blades.

Free: Two car seats (Bethany area) Gifted Two seats, one Britax and one Graco. They are in very good condition, pretty much only used when we transported our grandson. I know there are rules about what car seats can be sold or gifted, and I have no clue about them. If you need more specific information about them, so you can check these out, please let me know and I'll try to get it to you. I'd hate to trash them, but will if necessary.

Free: Basketball Hoop (Bethany area) Expired Old school, solid quality hoop. I used this in the 1970's & 80's with my kids, then moved to places where I couldn't put it up, so stored it. It's such a nice one, I couldn't get myself to part with it, but now is the time. It has a good coat of primer, could use a coat of paint if you want it a different color, a net and backboard. When you text about picking it up, please mention the item - I have some heavy stuff posted that need preparation for pickup.

Free: Child's blocks (Bethany area) Expired I made these for my nephew, probably in the late 1960's. When he outgrew them, they gave them back for our kids. They've been in storage for decades. The bag is a little tired, has a hole in it, and the blocks have been used, but in good shape for more generations. Will give you my number to text when confirmed that you want them.

Free: Cat-3 and some coax cable (Bethany area) Gifted Four partial boxes and a small spool of Cat-3 telephone cable and a coil of coax cable. The coax is probably obsolete for current comcast installation - something for you to check. The Cat-3 is for old school landline phone wiring. If you need that, this will be useful. It's also good for miscellaneous projects, e.g. control wiring for garage door operators, etc., or kids who want to run a secret signaling connection to the neighbor kid next door. When I was a kid, we had the tires stolen off our car and I rigged up a thread to an open contact that rang a little bell in our house if the thread was broken by someone walking in by the car at night. The neighbors were more than a little surprised, having walked in to see the view and dad sprang out to confront the "theif".

Free: medium sized shop vacuum (Bethany area) Gifted I've had this for a long time, but hasn't been used hardly at all for decades. For construction sites, I needed the biggest, most powerful vacuums I could get, so went to the big 5 hp units and this sat quietly. I just tested it and it fired right up. The hose is inside the cannister.

Free: Weight/workout equipment (Bethany area) Gifted A workout bench (my son got this ages ago - I don't know how the different parts function, but you can probably figure it out) / (2) 25 lb dumbbells / a few barbell plates / a barbell bar / a dowel with cord and weight plate for wrist strength / (2) wooden devices to elevate your hands for deeper pushups / misc. Some of the weight parts are rusty from condensation in unconditioned space, but should clean up with a wire wheel.

Free: Chicken feeders (Bethany area) Gifted Feeders for chicks and chickens. They've been around for a while, but I think they are all fully serviceable. The little round one takes a jar that screws on the top and dispenses food. Pretty sure a standard size mayo jar fits.

Free: Pouch & belt for shop or other work (Bethany area) Gifted Work, but serviceable pouch with belt. Good for tape measure or some supplies when working on projects. You can text me after confirming that you want it - I'll give you my number then.

Free: Stool/Bench (Bethany area) Gifted You can see what it is. For sitting in somewhat dusty storage for years, I think it's in pretty good shape and if you need one, it should be useful. If interested, reply and we'll work out how you can pick it up. Texting, please mention the item - I have several I'm posting and some are heavy, and require preparation.

Free: Window air conditioner (Bethany area) Gifted Free LG Window A/C with stuff to mount. This was working well when my friend replaced it with a mini-split system and gave it to me. I don't need it and am clearing out my shop. I'm pretty sure I have the remote and will pass it along when/if I find it, but it's not needed to operate the unit perfectly. Dimensions: 23 5/8" W X 15" H X 22 1/2" D. It's getting hot - I'm surprised I haven't gotten a bunch of responses. I will help load it. Text me - I'll be away from my computer Scott 503-318-4224
