USB Extension Cables - these were already in an Equipment Review thread. The consensus was to KEEP but I would actually suggest keeping half of them, and consolidating the bin with other USB-related cables.
Analog Audio/Video cables - These could be thinned by 50%, but please keep. The only way I was able to demo the amp yesterday was because we had these. I’ve used them for several projects in the last year, including fixing the VHS stereo system.
A/C electrical stuff - Keep. I’ve used this countless times for VHS improvement projects/fixes. The fan intake/exhaust switch by the laser. Replacing a cord on a power tool for @mike. Not to mention my own projects.
Coax tote - I think we could let this go. Coax just isn’t very useful these days.
Do we have too many extension cables to combine the bins? They have been strangely useful in the past (need a female USB connector, chop one of those apart. I’d like to keep as many as we have space for them after we combine the usb cables.
Yes, AC electrical stuff, please keep; we also have motors and building tools is something that I think is super cool at VHS and brings a wow factor. Even though it is now disassembled because we have functional replacement and needed the space, the thickness sander did get a lot of interesting looks on tours.
Coax can go.
Seed bomb stuff, no interest without people doing them; if someone wants to keep them around, I’d say a vote would be to host a class and put it on the calendar.
Unless you personally are willing to fix it, I vote recycle.
Unless you personally need it, I vote toss. Considering no one has used it since that label was put on (probably years ago), I think it’s okay to go. If we ever need to get one in the future, we can pick up a cleaner one for cheap.
Unless you personally plan on running a workshop (you should! Sounds awesome), I vote toss. They’ve been around since 2013 untouched.
Unless you personally have a good use for it at VHS, I vote toss. Or you can take it home.
A green screen is a solid colored screen that closely matches the color in the green response for digital cameras so that backgrounds can be replaced (or keyed).
If you want to do background replacements, this is what you’d put behind your subject.
I phoned @sIGNgUY; the green screen was not his.
I skimmed through the Analog Audio and Video Cables and removed those with cracked insulation or obvious other defects.
The USB extension cables were consolidated into a much smaller container.
The hot air rework station, the green screen, and PS2 mice and keyboards were taken to free geek.
The coax, used helium bottle, the metal punch, crappy audio cables, and two of the outdated fire extinguishers were taken to Zero Waste.
Seed bomb materials were recycled.
A/C Electrical was left as is.
