Craigslist and Garage sale scores!

[Racerbvd]

Went to my old warehouse space yesterday to see how the gutting and reskinning was going.
Then I notice a box in my old space, mind you, I have had everything out for a while , and I figured they were from one of the other units, so “hey” old school score, “kinda”

Missed this by a couple hours.

Wow, those have probably been sitting for 40 years!

It is a chorus pedal so it copies and delays the signal to make it sound like more than one guitar is playing. The other one I think is a distortion pedal.

Thanks! What I have in mind is to use these in my two 15x30 storage units where I keep a lot of my motorcycles. The chairs so I will have a place to sit down once in a while and the tables for a place to lay tools and parts while working on the bikes.

I can also use some at my house where I also do work on my motorcycles - and other stuff. These little TV tables are very handy, so nice to have so many of them.

Between the two, it was a pretty good score.

An old Atlas drill press and an old craftsman milling vice. The vice goes front to back, side to side and spins.

My buddy wants the drill press.

My drill press is the blue craftsman. 1940s.

Pop out the Drill chuck from the craftsman and find some end mill holders with the same taper and you'll have a nice mill

Hi Baz those tables look very nice, in fact I have the same set at our house in Florida and my wife has one painted dark brown. I may have to see if my neighbor is yard sailing my stuff🤓

No freebies. I had to buy them off FBMP but I got a pretty good deal.

If you don't want to share what you paid, that's your prerogative. Just leaves it up in the air whether or not it was a "pretty good deal".

I paid $300 for both of them. He was asking 125 for the drill press and 250 for the milling vice. The drill press was restored, except for the electrical motor. It looks great. The milling vice has no paint, but I don’t think it ever did?

I think you did pretty good.....congrats on the score!

Neighbor put their Charbroil Classic on the curb and off the trash guys. Wheeled it into the garage this AM. It had one screw missing that was preventing the side burner from being held up. Fixed it in under a min. Needs a grate, replacement ignitor for the side burner and cover...then we are in business. Hard pressed to find anything of this size under $300.

I'm not sure if online auctions count as a "garage sale" score. But, I definately scored with this on-line auction.

I was in the market for a lampshade and the ad stated that this lot of shades contained "at least 12". I figured one of them would work. I bid and won the auction for $17

When I went to pick up my 12 lamp shades, it turned out to be "12 tables" of shades and lamp parts. I packed them all up and filled two rooms at home. I had a yard sale last weekend and did $954 after selling about a third of my stash. I'm repeating the yard sale tomorrow and hope to get rid of a lot more.
