A Look In The Vault
Added 2020-04-27 22:57:05 +0000 UTCPhilly is still in lockdown but I had to go to the Vault to check on stuff that is in sealed bins and make changes to vent items in storage. I also take some time to root through the bins and take a look at some treasure. Enjoy!

Fran have you thought about setting up some form of foundation to protect all these treasures ? You could put all your ongoing storage expenses into it. I would be horrified to see all this go to auction by the pound one day... I am already worried by the future of my 3D printers and multimeters...

2020-06-01 16:44:16 +0000 UTCSad day when the Rat Shacks closed in our neighborhood, but you sure did your due diligence scouring for parts!
2020-05-01 17:40:10 +0000 UTCWish we had smell-o-vision. Loved the old electronics smell (aside from stinky out-gassing). Down-sizing after retirement was rough but in many ways, I'm happier without it all now.

2020-04-28 00:16:12 +0000 UTCEver think about inventorying your stash like Playthings of the Past? You could be your own hamfest!
2020-04-28 00:15:11 +0000 UTCI wonder if you could drill a small vent hole into each lid?
2020-04-28 00:12:30 +0000 UTCGreat treasure trove of parts! This is terrific stuff.

2020-04-28 00:08:06 +0000 UTCYour storage locker has way cooler stuff than mine and is WAY more organized
2020-04-27 23:39:32 +0000 UTCThanks for the tour! So much cool stuff... Love the old radios; beautiful. Cheers!
