Weekend pickup...

This weekend I collected a nice selection of electronic devices.It was a classic case of : parents are not able to take care of themselves anymore,and moved to a nursing-home.Their children are then faced with the task of emptying their parents home.
I took away most of their electronics which included:
-Shenzhen JW-210GPA record player
-Philips 702 radio
-Philips 14PT155 television
-Akai 1722W and GX4000D tape recorder
-Alecto pro-137 mixer
-JVC XL-Z132 CD player
-Philips DCC 951 player
-Sony ST A30L tuner
-Denon PMA 500V
-Lenco L3866 USB record player
-Uher 4200 tape recorder

There were also a collection of speakers : Rank HT520(pair),Kekkoh Beta(pair),a Magnat,a Philips and a pair of Sony's.And let me not forget the records ......

Queensday loot

Today was the last Queensday on April 30th(next year will be April 27th,the birthday of our new King).For people not familiar with it:it is a day to sell your old stuff,with loud music from multiple stands which you can listen to while enjoying some kind of home made food....
A tradition is anything you don't sell and don't want you just leave behind...other will people will sift through the heaps and pick out what they want.
Anyway,I got quite a few things this year:
Philips 12TX3501 television,Sony TC-H4800 cassette deck,Philips FA144 amplifier with FT143 tuner,Blaupunkt RTV 316 VCR,CD-rom drive,DVD writer,4 different modems,calculator with printer,small heater,some kind of game console and a lamp.

It is been a long time.....

Almost 5 weeks since my last post,I'm ashamed to say.In that period I have been on holiday(US) and continued with taking electronic equipment apart,about a dozen televisions among them.So now I have plenty of new components again to build things again.
Last week I found an old crate filled with hand tools to be picked up by the garbage men.Many of them old but in good order(the tools,not the garbage men....)Also a couple of chargers,battery packs,two electronic devices and two rolls of installation wire.
A collection of center punches and screwdrivers.

A collection of hammers.The tool on the right must be my new favourite:it is a small ax,hammer,screwdriver and plier in one.
