2025-01-29 Sony Tape Deck

A nice looking Sony tape deck. Both the belts on it were turned into a sticky black goo in a way that somewhat defies intuitive understanding of materials. New belts acquired and installed, a drop of sewing machine oil on the capstan motor bearings and it is good to go.

Installing the belts was kind of tricky and a little daunting first time through. Now we have done it once it seems much more approachable should we have to do it to another such device.

A Yamaha AX-V375 receiver unit. Everything works fine. Somebody in my town just ditched their stack of black boxes under the TV in favor of a roku stick or some such.

2025-01-25 All-Clad Pot

A small but relatively tall All-Clad pot. Quite nice and handy. Probably used very little if ever by the previous owner.

2025-01-18 Lamps

A pair of lamps with the weird offset pivot in them. All present and correct.

A random Krups coffee maker that seems to work fine.

2025-01-18 Asus Laptop

A random ASUS laptop missing the drive. Runs Knoppix fine though.

2025-01-11 Stanley Bradawl

A nice little Stanley Bradawl in good condition. Not sure if we need it but we are not going to leave that lying around to be scrapped.
