I have a few boxes in the garage and most of the loose stuff upstairs in
the bonus room. When we first moved in this house i had planned to put
together a mad man's electronics lab, but then my son and his family had
to move in and all plans went to hell including all my savings so I no
longer really have much need for most of it. So it's open pickings for
anyone interested.
Raj I would also be interested in donating if you could give me more
info on this group.
