Free: The junk box (13"x10"x7") (Feasterville) You know how there's always a few parts left over from your last project, so you toss them in "the box"? Do this for many years and you end up with more than 20 pounds of unsorted hardware. I can't bear to send this to the landfill when I know that you can probably find exactly the right screw, bolt, nut, washer, or gizmo that you need in there.

Free: Old steel-string guitar (Feasterville) Gifted No-name folk guitar purchased 60 years ago at E. J. Korvette's in northeast Philly! A little beat up - the bridge came unglued, so it's now bolted on. Over that 60 years the neck has bowed very slightly so that the strings are almost 1/4 inch above the fretboard down near the body. Thus, it's tough to play without very strong fingers. Still might be useful for learning if just played up near the head. Holds tuning well.

Free: Vintage TI Scientific Calculator (Feasterville) Withdrawn Original TI-83 graphing calculator from the '90s - fully functional - my kids used it for high school, then I revived it a few years ago to explore its Z80 processor's ability to compute PI.
