Shop / workbench chair (castro valley)
We have this second shop chair that is taking up space in the garage. It is in pretty decent condition, in a nice blue color. Though for me it tends to sink down the longer I sit on it – I’m not sure if this is due to my “girth” or if there is an issue with the chair. I’m not sure how to fix/adjust, so I’m offering it up to a better home. Help me get stuff out of my garage please. Reasonable arrangements can be made for meeting up/pickup/drop off, keeping prudent pandemic precautions in mind (social distancing, do not meet when you are sick/asymptomatic, wear N95/KN95 mask, etc). Note: no texting, messaging via this site only thank you.

Dell Ultrasharp 2009W LCD (castro valley)
I have this spare older LCD that works great. The images are crisp using Windows 11 or OS X at the native 1680 x 1050 at 60hz over DVI-D as portrait or landscape mode. If you have Resolutionator on OS X you can push 1920x1200 or even 3840x2400 (but with everything that small I would not advise torturing your eyes like that). Note that I have not tested the VGA port or the USB hub ports. It is a nice little LCD, but I have enough spares – help me get stuff out of my garage please.

Dell SP2008WKP LCD 1680x1050 native</b> I have this spare older LCD, with an internal USB webcam. The LCD works fine, using Windows 11 or OS X - was native 1680 x 1050 at 60hz over DVI-D.

Lenovo Thinkpad OEM 45N1759 E550, E550C, & E555 laptop battery </b> I picked up this Lenovo OEM 45N1759 laptop battery with a bunch of other ThinkPad parts from someone at EFM.

The other batteries I received from this individual all worked, so I would surmise this one still has some life in it as well.

I picked up this Cambridge Soundworks Radio 735 from someone else that was paying it forward last year. Since then, I have been using it my garage connecting my iPod to the AUX jack and let me say this has some great speakers in it – the music sounds great from this, I was really surprised. This does have issues with the jenky sound knob, and I was unable to receive any radio stations (but don’t have any antennae connected). As you see in the pictures, there is some wear to it but the 9v battery connection has zero damage. I scored a better iPod dock, so I am looking to pay it forward.

Logitech X-240 2.1 speaker system (castro valley)

They have the usual headphone jack plug, so you can use them with your computer, tablet, phone, iPod, etc. We were using them in the garage augmenting a CD alarm clock radio, and it really helped fill in the sound from the ‘tinny’ speakers of the clock radio. Included is a subwoofer, two satellite speakers, and a wired remote with the aditional 3.5mm jack, on/off button, and volume control. They look to be in decent condition, some small wear & tear, some dust, and the scratches and dings you would expect for something of this age. “The stow-away MP3 cradle makes the Logitech X-240 speakers more than just a great speaker system for your computer. Connect your digital audio player with the included auxiliary cable, or use your own USB/power cable to sync, charge and play digital music from your iPod, Zune, PDA or mobile phone. Dynamic, real-time bass equalization maximizes bass response from the down-firing subwoofer while high-excursion drivers provide rich sound from the slim, stylish satellites.” Let me know your interest, and date/time you can swing by for a contactless pickup.
