Some free things

mrufino1 · #1 04-04-2010, 09:19 PM

We were cleaning our basement and I found (I moved the items that are already claimed to the bottom and changed the text to green):
Everything but the speaker has been claimed, thanks!

Altec 421A 15" speaker- needs recone- something fell through it and the paper is torn, but magnet and basket should be fine.- This one is local only, it's pretty heavy but when reconed is an awesome speaker.

256mb ddr266 laptop ram (pc-2100).

512 MB 2rX16 pc2-4200S-444-12 RAM. I believe this came from my friend's expired 15" g4 powerbook, we tried to put it in the 12" g4 powerbook he gave me but it didn't fit. As far as I know it works.

Techgear 3 port firewire PCMCIA card. I bought this on ebay because I thought there was an issue with my firewire card, but turns out it was a software issue and so I don't need this. I just looked it up and it has an NEC chipset.

On anything but the speaker, give me a few bucks to cover shipping (speaker is free, i just don't want to deal with shipping it), or if you're local just stop by and get it- I am near Giants stadium in NJ.

Sony netMD minidisc walkman/ recorder- model MZ-N707, takes 1 AA battery. I don't have the AC adapter for this, or if I do, I don't know where it is, but if we find it while cleaning I'll include it. It belonged to my friend, who used to use it to record his marching band (he's a band director), but had me transfer the recordings to CD and didn't want it back. It works fine, I'll just never use it. There is a minidisc in it. This is it:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MZ-N707-W.../dp/B000065CE2- CLAIMED

A few dean markley SR2000 strings- Mostly G's and D's, I think one A., none were ever used- CLAIMED

Labella flatwound Low B- used for a little while- CLAIMED

JAN tube- leftover from my royer mod kit for my apex mic (long time ago), was an extra, don't have the mic anymore. - CLAIMED

I'll grab the tube. I'm local as well

mrufino1 · #3 04-05-2010, 08:53 AM

Tube is claimed, all strings are claimed. Claim the other stuff please so I have a clean house!!! (well, you'd need to claim a LOT more than this, none of it music related, for that to happen...)

New stuff added to the list, may be adding more through the day. I hate to throw things out that someone may want, but if not claimed in a few days will hit the trash.

Hey, if nobody else wants it, I'll take the MiniDisc!

Minidisc is claimed by DCR! Just added a few more small things too, keep letting me know.

Nice gesture!

Kudos!

man id love that speaker if youd ship lol o well

mrufino1 · #8 04-05-2010, 12:02 PM

Funk Generator, I just PM'd you. And daktari, no problem, why throw stuff away if someone can actually use it? We should all help each other out sometimes. But I appreciate the thought.

James C · #9 04-05-2010, 02:24 PM

Whoa another TBer from Nutley?! And generously giving away free stuff, nonetheless! Awesome! Greetings from High St. haha

Greetings from Raymond (the Petracco's block...)

Kind of you to "pay it forward" like this! I don't need anything... just wishing you good health and fortune

mrufino1 · #12 04-05-2010, 04:40 PM

On Gearslutz there's a pay it forward thread- maybe it's time for one here or even a sub forum in the classifieds for free stuff? I am having fun, wish I had more to give!

mrufino1 · #13 04-06-2010, 01:45 PM

For anyone who said they wanted stuff, I need your addresses so I can it sent out! Oh, and bump....

dcr · #14 04-06-2010, 01:47 PM

Anything else coming along?

DavidLopezJr · #15 04-06-2010, 02:23 PM

Info for pickup for the speaker would be great. I might be able to pick it up.

mrufino1 · #16 04-06-2010, 03:35 PM

dcr- so far no, but I'm not sure what else I'll find, it's amazing what is in the bottom of drawers!. If you want to wait until the end of the week that's fine, see if anything else pops up.

David- PM me with your contact info and we can set up a time. if you're in the city I'll be there next Tuesday for a gig around 5-ish, near Rockerfeller Center, otherwise if you're in Jersey we could meet somewhere.

pm about the firewire card. If nobodys claimed it.

mrufino1 · #19 04-22-2010, 09:54 PM

This thread was dug up! Sorry, everything but the speaker is gone, and the speaker may be gone.
Basey- I got that card on ebay for $5 shipped, so you should try there, there were tons of them pretty cheap (I guess not a high demand for pcmcia anymore...)

basey · #20 04-22-2010, 11:48 PM

Found it. Thanks!
I didn't realize they were so cheap.
