[digsys]

Time has come again .. NY clean-up !
Strict conditions :
Pick up only in Mt Waverley area (VIC), NO sorting - it's ALL or nothing. It's up to the "collector" to decide if they want to split it up for others.
Prefs will be to "community" collectors IF there is more than 1 request.
Everything worked before it was EOL, but some items have been dismantled.  www.pbase.com/digsys/image/158660362
Items include -
Data and Programming manuals, development kits and sotware (up to 2005ish), Motorola, TI, Hitachi .. LPT programmer with adapters, indusitrial PCs,
metalwork, P/Supplies, plugpaks, computer cables and cards, blank PCBs, various custom PCBs / program modules, 3x Noritake VFDs, active DGPS areials,
odds and ends. You will need an EMPTY car !!!
PM me if interested

Note: A few things have been added, 1-2 removed since this pic.

I do like bits of equipment with an analogue kV meter, something very erotic about it

Is there not a hacker space in Melb somewhere that might benefit?

Just a thought...

[digsys]

Tried all that the last couple times .. all sorts of places ... they weren't interested so I gave up. They were so damn picky :-)
I won't have a problem finding a hobbyist etc, most are likely on holiday right now

As they say, one man junk is another man's junk. 

We put stuff like this on our driveway with a big for-free sign and the stuff doesn't last a weekend.

I'd be all over this stuff like a dog on a football, but too far to drive from Queensland.

Me too, but from Sydney. And I'm currently trying to cut down on my 'fun junk' piles. Because that stuff leads to situations like today, where I've spent half the day looking for something, and so far failed to find it. It's fairly big too, so how the f* is it hiding so well?

Same here - too far to drive from Queensland.

I always find a few projects that I had completely forgotten about ! Then you think .. geez that was a really good project, I'll put it aside and complete it FOR SURE !!
And then you find it in the next years pile :-)  ... we need more hours in a day !! ... damn government ..

The Melbourne readers of eevblog are really letting you down.

I had a LOT more interest last year .. maybe they're still on holiday. Well, it's all sitting in the 1/2 empty garage, so it's not like it has to be out
of here. I'll let it sit a bit longer. One of my contracts has trucks often going to Sydney / Brisbane. Might have a word with them next week.
