Only needed a carbon brush replacement. <\/li>\n<li> Home audio amplifier. The cd tray is stuck but we feed it from the line in. A bit heavy but very nice sound. <\/li>\n<li> Mantle top fan. Works fine as a fan but the pivoting mechanism is acting up. Just needed a thorough cleaning. <\/li>\n<li> Leather briefcase. Sold in less than a day as a theater prop. <\/li>\n<li> Wooden wine rack.

They work but at that speed I only want them for the chassis and supplies <\/li>\n<li> An antique lamp. Already restoring it. <\/li>\n<li> A Commodore 1541 dirve and some original CompuServe disks. On their way to a museum. <\/li>\n<li> A very old (when telegraphs were the norm) glass insulator and threaded pole made of hardwood. Has the right volume to make a shot glass. <\/li>\n<li> A modern medium voltage insulator. It&#8217;s quite heavy but in nice condition. I&#8217;ll probably make a lamp out of it. <\/li>\n<li> Lots of heatsinks and coolers. <\/li>\n<li> Old cans of candy and medicines.
