The "blame mgreen FREE stuff thread"

[techound1]

With apologies to mrgreen, but his request for donations got me cleaning out the piles of misc parts that live in my shop. ;)

This is all free (you pay shipping). Take as much or as little as you like. It worked when it was pulled, but I can't offer any guarantee. Sorry for the wonky descriptions, but the stuff *is* free. :D :D :D I'll try to accommodate things like drive color.


4 floppy drives: three without front covers, one with in beige (modular style like you can cram in a pc)
3 cdrom drives one slot-loading, the 2 others are tray (ditto on the modular)
gobs of ribbon cable (some mac, some pc, variety of pin counts)
hard drive that came out of a pre-imac/early imac era desktop - no idea of size of the drive because the connector is an odd size


I also have the guts to several dead power supplies - any interest there??

Not sure if there's any demand for this, but this thread is the official record of dibs (rather than PMs). Stuff added as it's uncovered!

I can use all of this, therefore record my 'dibbs' on all of it.

*greedy*

Could you please PM me a shipping quote shipped to 14052? Thanks!

[Maxwell Smart]

jeez, greedy is right :-/. Skoker isn't allowed to claim any new items until someone else has seen the thread now :)

[techound1]

I'll hold a few things back... ;)

Okey dokey... shipping quote for everything coming right up!

[skoker]

Maybe I'll have to pass myself, PayPal authorized something twice and now I've got to wait 10 days for it to timeout.

Back up for grabs!

something like 4-6 cdrom drives (ditto on the modular)
gobs of ribbon cable (some mac, some pc, variety of pin counts)
hard drive that came out of a pre-imac/early imac era desktop - no idea of size of the drive because the connector is an odd size

I agree that if you're paying even shipping for them, you want to know what you're getting! :)

I'm time-crunched right now so pics and specs are too much (figured posting them for free would get me out of having to deal with that :D :D ).

I'll take them out of the free offer for right now and repost them when I have a little more time to properly answer q's.

PMing you the paypal.

[Maxwell Smart]

Fine, what do you want for the motherboards (hopefully static protected) shipped to 19067. If it's cheap enough I'll just send you a paypal payment and figure it out later.

How about $5 and I'll ship you all the motherboards I can find (static wrapped) and all the cpus (ditto on the wrap)?? You can make yourself crazy trying to sort them out :p

BTW - got the lappy today and it's a dream!!! Many thanks for the smooth transaction there! :D

Do you have any round IDE cables, or are they all the normal, flat kind?

They're all the normal, flat, air-flow-blocking kind :) .

Ah, ok, I have about a billion of that kind too! Thanks anyways! You've got me looking around for stuff to start my own free thread now too.
