Free: small projector (near the Sunnyvale library) Gifted This is a projector that was purchased around 2014 but hasn't been used except when I checked function this week. I put new batteries in the remote control, and verified that (at least) HDMI works. Brightness is probably adequate for home use, though not for a large assembly. Model "LED-66" (can't find any other more detailed information on type or vendor).

Free: Flag pole extender (near the Sunnyvale library) Expired Flagpole extender, nominal 1 1/8" outer diameter to 1 inch inner diameter (detailed dimensions in photograph) -- turned out to be the wrong size for my flag! Useful if you have a 1 inch inner diameter flag pole.

139d

Free: small bed and mattress (near the Sunnyvale library) Expired Small bed and mattress (mattress 58x21 inches, for a child), old but appears functional. One support spring is missing; you can probably substitute a bit of wire.

289d

Free: 3M Filtrete 1000 12x20x1 filter (near the Sunnyvale library) Expired Nice furnace filter, claims to provide 3 months of use (and we use them for about that time). Brand new except for wrapping removed. (I got the wrong size because I was thinking about the old furnace! oooops.)

308d

Free: chemicals and equipment (near the Sunnyvale library) Expired Chemicals (powder): ZnSO4 SnCl2 CuSO4 MgSO4 Mg strip + mixing bowls, 25 ml graduated cylinder, filter paper. Not flammable (except for the magnesium strip) or highly toxic, but you should be familiar with safe practices in inorganic chemistry, and have appropriate gloves and protective gear!

332d

Free: DC power supply (near the Sunnyvale library) Gifted TekPower TP1503C 110 VAC to 0-15 VDC, 3A power supply. Old but doesn't appear to have ever been used.

351d

Free: alumina powder (near the Sunnyvale library) Expired Three jars of 3 micron alumina powder, that can be used for high-precision polishing. Several years old but sealed, should be ok.

359d

Free: felt-covered pressboard (near the Sunnyvale library) Expired Felt-covered pressboard tabletop, about 36" x 60" (3x5 feet). You will need to bring a vehicle to carry this away in, it's heavy!

1y

Free: Marazzi Porcelain Floor/Wall Tile (near the Sunnyvale library) Expired A full box (8x(12-25-5/16 in)) porcelain floor and wall tile, plus several loose pieces as shown in the photo. These are left over from a bathroom remodel -- not used and in good condition.

1y

Free: Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 keyboard (near the Sunnyvale library) Expired Worn but functional: covers on handrests are eroded, and some key labels are not legible, but the keyboard itself still works. Old-style USB interface. I used for Mac, should be fine for Windows too.

1y

Free: kneeling chair (near the Sunnyvale library) Gifted Can be useful when you have a back strain or soreness that is exacerbated by sitting in a regular chair. One wheel attachment repaired but still works fine.

1y

Free: Zep shower cleaner (near the Sunnyvale library) Expired Purchased this and followed the instructions to test -- found that it discolors my shower wall! so can't use it. Hardly worth returning at the store, can give to anyone who is local and uses this for their fixtures (but you should have tested it!).

1y

Free: Omega HHM12 multimeter (DMM) (near the Sunnyvale library) Gifted Omega HHM12 digital multimeter; DC and AC voltage to 600 V; resistance ohms to 2 Gohms; diode test; continuity test; capacitance microF to mF; thermocouple temperature. Display has a few scrapes and scratched, but seems to work (might need a new battery soon).

1y

Free: Adesso wireless keyboard (near the Sunnyvale library) Gifted Adesso WKB-1150CB wireless keyboard. Ergonomic design, easy on the wrists. As far as I know, it works fine, but I lost the USB dongle, so you need to have a USB dongle and pair it to the keyboard (see ).

1y

Free: LG Ultrafine display (near the Sunnyvale library) Gifted Nominal 23.5" 3840x2160 LG Ultrafine computer display. Note that this uses the Apple style USB C/Thunderbolt connections; if you use HDMI, you'll need an adapter.

1y

Free: 18650 battery packs (near the Sunnyvale library) Gifted Packs for 18650 batteries (lithium ion) -- two each of 4-pack, 3-pack, 2-pack, one 1-pack. If you provide an address (preferably in the San Francisco Bay Area) I'll just ship them, or we can meet at the Sunnyvale Library.

1y

Free: Brita filtered water bottle (near the Sunnyvale library) Gifted Brita filtered water bottle (used up the filters; they are available at e.g. Target). Fill up the top with tap water, drip to the bottom thru the filter, then have nice clean water. A filter lasts around 3 months.

1y

Free: foam core 20x30 inch (near the Sunnyvale library) Gifted Foam core, 3 white and 1 black, 20x30 inch, useful for e.g. a kid's science or art project. A few of the corners are slightly crinkled but otherwise in good shape.

1y

Free: portable air conditioner (AC) (near the Sunnyvale library) Gifted Vissani VPFD05CLW indoor portable AC, with window interface, tubing, instructions, remote control. Good shape, worked fine the last time I needed it (a few months back in autumn). This is placed near a window using the tube to connect the AC to the window insert (so the hot air has a place to go). It provides enough air to cool a work area or small room.

1y

Free: shelf+cabinet on casters (near the Sunnyvale library) Expired Wooden shelf with a small two-level cabinet below, on casters for easy relocation. Dimensions given in the first image -- it's pretty big, so you will need a truck or big car to pick it up. Fairly good shape, though could use a bit of cleanup. Pickup probably best before the library opens, so that the parking lot is fairly empty and you can just pull up next to my car.
