Latest Haul

[TomFCS]

We're having a clean out of some storage areas at work and I've been hauling some stuff away. There's some pressure to clear this out quickly, so I'm pretty much just grabbing anything that looks even mildly interesting and going to sort it all out later.

Other various stuff...

1 - Old Royal typewriter. I started typing on it and quickly realized it lacked shift keys. Not broken off or missing, but made that way, it's an uppercase only typewriter. Everything seems to function, but the carriage needs a little pushing at times.

There are some more items I plan to grab sometime this week. Several boxes and filing cabinets to go through yet and some newer items that I need to inquire about first and verify they are cleared for taking.

Looks like I'm going to be busy for a while.

Whereabouts in Northwest Indiana? I'm from there (but haven't been back in perhaps 20 years).

 

[NathanAllan]

Holy cow, that's a HUGE haul of stuff! Going to look at your pictures of it.

 

[Unknown_K]

Nice haul, its been a while since I have walked away with that much stuff from one place at one time.

 

[NathanAllan]

I forget which pic its in, but what kind of monitor is that, the squarish black one near center frame?

The nearest large city would be Hammond. I'm very close to Lake Michigan.

This probably goes without saying but you might as well not open the Windows 3.1 disks even though I don't know that they have that much value but for some reason people like shrink wrapped OS's.

If it's the one I think your referring to, that's actually a JVC C-1350 13" color television. It was used as a CCTV camera monitor a long time ago. I thought that looked interesting too, but unfortunately it has some pretty severe screen burn. It was pointed directly at glass doors with a southern exposure for years.

Cool. I grew up in Hessville (went to Hammond Morton HS). What's the facility in your photo?

I couldn't agree more. I'm a pretty big fan of shrink-wrapped stuff myself. I recently purchased a second one of those NOS backpack drives with the sole intention of not opening it.

Ah, okay. I have a similar screen with a high voltage problem somewhere, intent on fixing it becasue it has SOOO many controls on the front it's insane. It can still be used as a monitor, yours, too bad it has such bad screen burn.
