This is a tabletop belt sander, or band sander. It takes a 80 by 2.25 inch belt. It works fine but I cannot figure out who made it. We may give it a light restoration and use it as it or rebuild it into a vertical belt grinder.
Update: We ended getting a nice belt grinder from other sources so we sold this.
Kids size Trek MT220 mountain bike, 24 inch wheels. This was in really sparkling condition except for one missing hand grip and a worn and flat rear tyre. We think the kid who rode this just spent a few days doing rear wheel skids and then tossed it. Either way, easy fixes, tuned up and ready for some offspring to ride. Already tested.
A nice purple Phil and Ted double stroller, seem all present and correct but needed a good clean. A touch old but quite functional.
Yet another Maclaren Quest pushchair. Some damage to the foam hand grips but otherwise in very good condition. Cleaned and ready to go.
New foam grips are available pretty reasonably from Maclaren, it turns out.
This is a Sunshine Kids car seat. They are interesting in that while being very safe and functional they are incrementally narrower than most other comparable cars seats. Super handy if you have a smaller car or are trying to get 3 people in the back seat.
A random Graco Sit-n-stand style stroller, not super special but somewhat useful. It will be cleaned and made available for re-use.
A Babyjogger City Elite stroller. This is an older model but in very good condition and it has that killer fold mechanism that make this series of joggers so handy. Ready for a new home.
Uppababy Vista frame with bassinet attachment. Bassinet is in very good shape, the wheels might have an issue though. Worth fixing and rehoming, these are nice devices.
Teutonia T-Linx stroller, kind of fancy and modern. In perfect condition, good for a new small human to wriggle around in.
Mountain Buggy Swift single jogging/outdoors stroller. Pretty nice but has some wheels attachment/bearing issues. Worth fixing we think.
Graco Fastaction Fold Duo, what a bloody mouthfull of a name. This is transparently trying to rip off the Baby Jogger pull to fold mechanism. It is clearly lower quality and the hoods have a tenuous attachment mechanism. This thing touts membership of the Graco "quick connect system" family of offspring movement devices, could be useful, who knows. Either way we will be finding a new home for it.
Two bags of BBQ charcoal, randomly tossed out. Each more than half full. We are getting the feeling that there is a safety recall out about this product, has been known to catch fire or some such.
One Uppababy Crtuz stroller, initially in slightly grubby condition but as you can see in the picture, an outbreak of cleanliness is happening.
This was a Shogun road bike with drop bars that got converted at some time to hybrid style. It is pretty nice and in very good condition and will seek a new rider on the list of craig.
A "Pasadena Popper" popcorn machine. This was rescued by friends who spent a while cleaning it, as you can see in this cheesy before and after shot.
One fancy Kelty Kids offspring carrying device. Comes with the hood thingy and was slightly dusty from sitting in a garage for years. Now all cleaned up and ready for use.
A nice Babytrend Sit-n-stand stroller. Picked up by a friend but showcased here. Needs a clean but he should do fine on that.
Random purple Specialized Hotrock kids bikes. Needed air in the tyres and good to go. Came with helmet.
Two Acculamp 500 lumen 2700K LED bulbs, both work fine. It is not obvious why these might end up in the scrap metal at the dump, though maybe there are weird anti-efficiency luddites in town? We have heard such people exist.
