An Amaco tabletop potters wheel. Works fine, nice and smooth. Shown here after a clean.
A ransom Cuisinart sauté pan. Needed a light cleaning but is now ready to go.
A random PS4, missing the storage drive. We slapped in a scavenged drive and reinstalled the system and it seems to work.
Yet another random lamp, new bulb and tested and ready for new owner.
A Giant Cypress hybrid bike that has been neglected a little. It will be tuned up and rehomed.
Four dining chairs that are quite nice solid wood construction. One of them has a broken back frame and maybe some woodworm, so that will need to be investigated.
Small white lamp with weird flowery bud structures on the shade. It is not apparent the future owner of this will like but they will be having no choice in the matter.
Isobar surge suppressor power strip with nice low profile right angle plug.
Four random lamps. One had a bad switch, which is now replaced. All will be pushed into the lamp supply chain for people with a deficit of lamps.
Two newish Bessey clamps, seemingly unused. Most modern clamps are junky so we are not super interested in them, but the Bessey brand on these made the difference.
Restored vintage ones are still nicer though.
Mongoose Crossway 250 hybrid bike. Had a couple of rust spots here and there and had been left to gather dust but that is cleaned up and now it is ready for a new rider.
A random rocking chair of no great notability. One of the arms was unmoored from the back, but we fixed that and gave it all a coat of tung oil. Looks pretty nice now.
A random Heywood and Wakefield side table from 1955. These are now quite collectable it seems, this one might need a little light refinishing.
A wooden dresser made of really nice hard wood. It is old and a little dinged up. We had to put in new stops at the back of the rails to get the drawers to line up nicely when closed.
Three somewhat elegant dining chairs all in good condition.
This Giant Simple Seven is a seven speed beach cruiser. It needed a new trist shifter and a tuneup but is good to go now.
It is a strange ride, but then we did not test it on or near a beach, so what do we know.
Some random lamps that needed cleaning and testing. All now delivered to a place where people who need them will be able to access them.
A random Dyna-Glo grill by the side of the road with a very nice weather cover. Luckily the wheels were fine so we wheeled it over to the house of some friends who were in need of such an item. There were 3 slices of aubergine inside on the top rack.
Update: they put on a gas bottle and it works fine with nice even blue flames all round.
Joovy Room 2 baby bed or general container, depending on waking state or whatever. Perfect condition, shoud be useful for the impending visit of very small relatives at some stage in the future.
Marins Redwoods mountain bike with that classic Marin frame cross section from the period. Nice bike, rides well after tuneup, and should clean up exceot for the rust on the forks.
