Acquired collection of old possessions. Would there be interest on beyond?

Old CD based computer games, there's so many. Have found a couple of old game controllers, not sure what they're for plus some weird Microsoft two handed gaming thing.

Anything prototype-related or testing equipment?

[03ozwhip]

interested in that welder. let me know when it's available.

If you come across any wood/whiskey barrels or western type antiques please let me know.

thanks!

[speedog]

No whiskey barrels or western style antiques that I've seen so far but the computer nerds might be interested in one of these I saw in the home - an acoustic coupler (not my picture). It will no doubt be dumpster or electronics recycler bound...

Any hunting gear or wood working tools?

[MrSector9]

I am interested in random things people already mentioned, I buy lots of junk that doesn't even make sense to me haha. Let me know if there is a beyond meet.

There most likely will be a number of telephony related things in the home as this relative worked for TELUS for 35 years. Haven't found any butt-ins but stuff like relays, wood rack ladder, telephony manuals and probably much more as we continue inventorying everything.

Not that I've seen so far, wasn't their thing. Some old pellet gun but family are getting those - my 17 year old daughter has one.

There won't be any beyond meet out of respect for this relative - some relatives are still having an issue with possibly selling stuff to outsiders, the main issue being coordinating it. If stuff does go to outsiders, it will be on timelines and terms that fit into my schedule and no shows will get no second chance - we will probably not have everything checked out until late 2016 if not the new year. I will, however, continue to post some oddities in here that probably won't interest any relatives. I also have to appease my wife so as to our home not becoming a storage area for too much stuff - y'all can understand, eh.

No archery gear? Or vinyls?

A few older recurve bows, unsure what will happen with them yet. Vinyls - help me out here as I'm clued out on what you're speaking of. If it's stickers and such, don't know yet.

Y'all have to remember that we've probably not even touched 1% of what's in this home, it's going to take months of our free time to get to it all. My free evenings and weekends will most likely be 50% spent at this place for the foreseeable future.

[flipstah]

Vinyl records haha. 45s/33s/LPs.

They're not frisbees. I'll take the bows.

Sorry, about your loss. Losing family is always hard.

stuff like old oscilloscopes and other old electronic test gear, old tools, old microscopes and who knows what.

I'm very interested in all the electronic test gear and oscilloscopes, power supplies, anything like that.

Looking to get my workbench setup.

PM me or whatever for this type of gear.

Thanks!

Computer Paper newspaper from 1991 up for grabs.

KD from 1986, yes you are reading that correctly. 1986..

Edit - $20 for the boat motor - So we found what appears to be a mid-1940's electric outboard boat motor. It appears to be complete, haven't hooked it up yet to see if it works. Ad for said motor below...

Sorry about pic quality, cell phone was almost dead and wouldn't take flash pictures.

And a fairly old bedroom set (40's, 50's ???) that will be staying in the family...

I'm curious what KD would taste like back then.

Well there was a new box in the cabinets as well and the old stuff looks like it has more chemicals. Have a 1986 box and a 1988 box if anyone is interested.

[FixedGear]

That dresser is sweet, I'd guess 1930s-1940s
