Miele Olympus vacuum cleaner. Came with hose but no wand. A copper scrapping scumbag had cut the cord off but we put on a plug to test it and it works fine.
We may try to install a new cord on this. Miele sells cords only as a full retraction reel unit and they are expensive. This will involve some surgery and soldering.
Another Dyson V7 vacuum. After charging it showed the pulsing behaviour which is the diagnostic for a blockage of some form. We cleared that and it works fine now.
This has an aftermarket replacement battery on it, the one from iFixit maybe.
Yet another random dining table with a dinged up top. Shown here after third coat of varnish.
When ready will be made available to people who need a table.
A random old Craftsman lawn mower. Found with no fuel, starts fine and runs really strong but the carburetter had a leak in a plastic angle fitting. Replaced that fitting and it is a slightly beat up mower that runs really well.
A random Ridgid Shop Vac. Switch was bad but a new one was cheap. Also needed a new cable and that was in stock reclaimed from some prior appliance.
A random dining table. It is not super old but had a huge scratch and a bunch of paint splats on it. We sanded out the top and refinished it, now ready to hold up somebody's dinner.
Shown here without legs attached after getting second coat of varnish. Three coats total.
A pair of stools. Loose joints fixed by regluing and the tops were scratched so they got sanded and varnished. Ready for somebody who needs things to sit on.
An outdoor folding table. Could be teak, not really sure about that. Picture shows it after having been oiled.
A bag full of various bike parts including tires, tubes, tools and other stuff. A bunch of this stuf fis fancy Japanese market stuff.
An old Toshiba EliteBook 8570p laptop. It is a bit of a clunker but it is now converted into a chromebook for use by people who have needed of digital literacy education and hardware assistance. Shown here running Knoppix to check the specs, 8x core i7 2.70GHz and 8G RAM.
A Miele HX1 stick vacuum. It was a little grubby and needed a lot of cleaning around the floowbrush etc. It charges and runs fine the but there is structural damage in the mechanism that clips the dirt bin to the handle.
We may try to replace a couple of parts to make this a complete usable machine.
