TX436 1992 laptop dead floppy drive (Ann Arbor near Hillside Terr.)
Gifted
Does not boot with known bootable floppy disk or with the 200MB hard drive. Screen (mono) works. Power supply (included) works. Has VGA and phone ports. Powers on but floppy drive does not work. We tried several floppy disks that boot in other computers. It is a proprietary floppy drive. A floppy drive from a non-working TX436S laptop or something similar may work in it. The power supply, which powers it on, is labelled MODEL TSA1, 12V 1.5A, 10V 1.3A Made in Taiwan The laptop was sold with a 200MB hard drive. but it also does not boot. Perhaps you can make a bootable drive for it in another computer that uses the same type of hard drive (which was used in 1992) to replace the hard drive. We had no way to test: VGA, serial, and parallel ports. Audio adjustment dials. Port for plugging in telephone cable (to use with modem). I see three screws affixing the bottom to the rest of the laptop. The Ni-Cad battery died and was recycled properly. No physical damage to the exterior.

classical piano sheet music (Ann Arbor near Hillside Terr.)
Gifted
I got most of these from somebody for free probably because they're no longer in very good condition. someone at craigslist said they want them but then did not reply to my email asking when they would come. I will withdraw this post if they come and get them.

Request:
smartphone that makes voice calls (Ann Arbor near Hillside Terr.)
Withdrawn
It should have an easily replaced battery and be newer than my 2014 Galaxy S5. I will use the S5 if nobody gives me anything better. My 2016 pixel XL does not make voice calls or have a battery that can be removed without screwdrivers and a heat gun. The newer pixels can make voice calls but they don't have easily removable batteries. None of our iPhones have batteries that can be removed easily. Also I cannot remember how to use anything on them because a lot of things are hidden. The battery in my 2018 Galaxy S9 is not usable very long but it does make voice calls. I make voice calls on it while I am charging it at home. The LG Phoenix 4 works but it has very cracked glass on the screen which makes it quite hard to read. A Samsung Galaxy j727A (or maybe 700T) from 2017 would have worked if somebody had removed the requirement to use a Google login and password or indicated what they were when they donated the phone. I gave up trying to replace the operating system because I could not find it on any lists of operating systems for this phone.

Wooden soprano recorder (Ann Arbor near Hillside Terr.)
Withdrawn
In original box with fingering chart, handmade in Germany around 1950. Magnamusic A440 (baroque pitch). The box is marked 3-5 years. The recorder does not have two holes on the lower two notes, just one. There are lots of these on eBay for relatively low prices (also cheap plastic recorders). Wooden recorders do not clog when wet like plastic ones do. I have it because I gave my own wooden soprano recorder (with double holes) to a friend who is allergic to plastic and then they returned it because they now have one that was their mother.s. It works well but I have too many other soprano recorders (wooden and plastic).

less than 16 in wide. we had a combination CD player radio cassette tape deck but the CD player stopped working. a small portable one without speakers will work if we can plug it into an iHome that we're using with an iPhone as a radio, or directly into small computer speakers.

two Samsung phones not very usable (Ann Arbor near Hillside Terr.)
Expired
J700T for T-Mobile or other carrier but it is too old to use as a telephone and it needs to be unlocked with a Google email address or phone number. J727A for AT&t which in theory would work with another carrier but it also needs to be unlocked with a Google email address or phone number. I spent one day looking for a replacement operating system but could only find the original operating systems or the updates provided by Samsung. I replaced the original operating system on the J700T with the same operating system and the phone was still locked but no longer had the original data. Unless you want to use the parts of one of them please do not take either phone. I can list them at eBay as parts phones.

Kimball console piano with bench (Ann Arbor near Hillside Terr.)
Gifted
very good condition tuned slightly low somebody at craigslist said they want it. if they actually take it I will withdraw this offer. We tuned it ourselves with a high quality tuning kit that we purchased cheaply from eBay and we can show you how to tune it. Our relative can help someone stronger than me (75 year old female) to move it in a rental truck or your truck, or a large van (42" high or wide space in it). My partner can take off some pieces and carry those and put them back onto the piano. He can also carry the bench. His back is not good enough to help carry the piano but he can carry a ramp and open and close doors.

Kimball console piano with bench (Ann Arbor near Hillside Terr.)

very good condition tuned slightly low We tuned it ourselves with a high quality tuning kit that we purchased cheaply from eBay and we can show you how to tune it. A good friend of ours just said he wanted it but could not move it until warmer weather (to Mackinaw City area). We want someone to take it this month. Our relative can help someone stronger than me (75 year old female) to move it in a rental truck or your truck, or a large van (42" high space in it). My partner can take off some pieces and carry those and put them back onto the piano. He can also carry the bench. His back is not good enough to help carry the piano but he can help carry a ramp and open and close doors. Move it into some place sheltered such as a house or garage. Please do not say you want it then change your mind or not reply to my reply.

very good condition tuned slightly low ##### please make sure that nobody will give you a piano before you say you want this one. ##### if you want to get the piano for free and move it with your van and can find somebody to help it's yours if you can confirm this within a day. we can also find somebody to help at certain times. ##### someone said he really wanted this piano and had a van it would fit into and had experience moving pianos and would call at 10:00 this morning. he did that and told us his father just offered him a piano so he didn't want ours. ##### someone else told us he wanted the piano and then told us he already had a piano so I assume he got one from his father after telling his father we would give him one.
