[@Ode2Pops]

This was a man I could have very easily have called a friend. A man after my own heart, really. Someone who believed in self-sufficiency, took care of his own scene, was not above getting his hands dirty and getting the job done. He saw a use for, and appreciated the value, of every little thing that came to hand. These are the sort of people that keep the world turning. May he rest in peace.

[@domahern1046]

A lovely tribute, and I was thinking along these lines as well.

[@Authoratah]

[@AmericanLocomotive1]

This isn't the workshop of a man who was all about getting the "job done" or "taking care of his own scene". It's the exact opposite. It's the same remains of someone with a compulsive hoarding disorder. Just piles of junk buried under more junk. Sure there's some "good stuff", but what good is it if it's completely inaccessible, buried under more junk? All of that stuff he got to "keep the world turning" is now being thrown out because of how disorganized it is. There's ways of collecting items, being self-sufficient and organized. This is not an example of one.

This man was on the hoarder end of the spectrum but with today's "throwaway" or "disposable" lifestyle it wont be long before people will be called hoarder for just having tools and diagnostic equipment.

A great friend of mine spent his life making precision optical equipment. From tiny lenses to four foot telescope mirrors. Some of his tools had been handed down for generations and were of major historical value. He never cleaned his optical shop saying it was better to leave the stuff where it was rather than risk disturbing all the dust and grime which might get on the lens he was making. One day he said to me "See that lump of glass on the floor? When I'm gone I wonder who will know it's worth £10,000." Ironically, his life's passion killed him. All the grinding dust and glass particles destroyed his lungs. Fortunately, his son in law who worked with him took over the business and it largely survived in a slightly different form. I miss that guy, he taught me so much. I have one of his prototype lenses to help remember him by. I'm 68 so realistically I haven't got a lot of time left so I'm going through my lifetime's worth of stuff and getting rid of the junk to make it easier to sort things out after I'm gone.

Probably the most amazing estate sale I went to (Burbank) was the former home of a successful prospector who spent his life mining, dating back to the 1930's.

Man back when I was a young lad with a hard on every ten minutes, I fixed up an old shed behind the house. Ran some wire overhead and hooked it to the outdoor fuse box on our house, I wired in some plugs, and for a light in the bedroom (it was a two roomer, living room and bedroom when I finished) I used a old variable speed electric train transformer hooked up to a headlight, sort of aimed at one corner of the room with some red cloth in front of it to give the room that, well sexy glow. It worked! Got my first, well piece of ass from the girl across the street on that bed with that headlight glowing red, and the Doors crooning "Hello I Love You" on the little home built high fi that I parted together from parts of junked players I found in the city dump. I will never forget that day, I saw that gal about five years ago at her mom's funeral, man did I dodge the bullet with her!

I watched 4 minutes but no more. I am one of the 'old men' with similar stuff, but organised a bit better. I enjoy designing, making, mending, repairing, etc, all sorts of stuff. It's not hoarding; anyone that thinks it is, does not have a brain capable of understanding the working of the engineer's brain, many levels above their own. A few years ago I saw the result of 'stupids' clearing grandpa's old 'junk'. Part-built miniature locomotives were thrown in the dumpster because it was 'old train shit'. When the engineering community heard, they raced round to the house and with the family's consent emptied the dumpster of the models. They went for £110,000 at auction. The family claimed it was theirs, the judge said no, they had discarded the 'stuff' and threw it away. As an old engineer, I see less respect for skill, talent and ability; only instant desire for money without effort. Hopefully I will have sold all my stuff before I go, and spent the money on beer!

[@Songwriter376]

The big blue metal case with gauge and cords in-out I believe is an electric phase converter allowing you to run 3phase electric motor with normal 2 phase input.

[@Omegaman1969]

Amazing!! This is like mine and my fathers house ....his is full of old tubes and germanium transistors he used to make for GEC and mine is full of digital ICs and test equipment ......nobody I know would have a clue what any of it is for .

the 486 empty socket is the math coprocessor. 486DX had it on the die already so thats why its not there. Quote They sold a 80487 SX coprocessor to "add" the coprocessor to an SX system, but it was actually a "rebadged" (?) 486DX that "disabled" the existing 486 SX and enabled itself. Intel created the 486 SX to compete with AMD (even back then!) and their AMD-386-40 (Intel's 386 topped at 33 MHz). Some were buying the AMD-386-40 for less than the Intel-386-33 and 486's were $1,000 more (circa 1991)! Since the coprocessor on a 486 took up the majority of the space of the entire die, and if an individual 486 die had a problem, it would most likely (based on percentages) be a flaw in the coprocessor section. Well, all Intel had to do is disable the coprocessor on the 486, sell it as an SX and make lots of $$, while offering an "alternative" to those shoppers out there who were hoping for a 486 but couldn't pony up the $$ for a DX. Quite the marketing department at Intel, eh?

Pretty amazing what we can collect in a life time.

It's just stuff!?! My junk will also be my short lived legacy. Thanks for posting this because this guy's legacy just got bootstrapped and gave many of us pleasure.

29:07 That is a DC rectifier for powering a xenon 35mm projector lamp house. If the input is rated for single phase that could be valuable to a film collector setting up a film theater projector at home. Most of them found in movie theaters were 3 phase so difficult to use in a residence.

[@cruggiere]

A socket for a good old 487 Math coprocessor is what that spot on the mainboard is for.

[@bigmotter001]

Wow, great video and nice score. Take care.

[@MrKillswitch88]

Those AT 486 boards usually sell for $30 to $50 not counting shipping but there are ones that are in demand for which they can sell for a lot more.

If I was younger, I would had a field day with that place. Very cool

[@gustavefrankfurter6462]

I can't believe that you didn't grab those old oil cans! They are highly sought after!

[@draftwood]

You entered the cave of a renaissance man.

[@cipherthedemonlord8057]

So much stuff I could use. Glad someone got the Benz parts. Could've used some of those florescent bulbs and ballasts right now. LGR would've probably wanted the old PC parts.

[@angryshoebox]

Wow, that lawn mower with the pull-start Briggs & Stratton engine takes me back. 10 years old, about to mow the lawn, if you got the engine going with just 2 or 3 yanks on that cord, man, you felt so grown up, lol.

[@ericrawson2909]

The Briggs and Stratton I had was a pig to start, I used an hot air paint stripper to warm it up before trying, then it would start easily.

[@blitzroehre1807]

Who else here had Mr Glasslinger suddenly come to mind? ( of whom I have the greatest respect, BTW )

[@dondesnoo1771]

Yep but I've got a 2 story barn with lots .slinger is incredible.we had tv radio shop 50years .he's much more .I watched him make a 20s vac.tube. but those radios not what I'd restore mid 30s radios really work .🤗

The manager's crazy he always smokes dust, he's got his own room at the back of the bus.

[@gavincurtis]

Those old 486 motherboards are super-popular with retro DOS gamers. Get em!!

[@stvlu7333]

Someday someone will be dinging though your stuff just like this when you die shango006

[@bob4analog]

Yup, I'm expecting that. I hope my schtuff finds a good home.

[@GOGGLETUBESUCKS4UIC]

@@bob4analog Sadly maybe your stuff will end up in the dumpster. Time is a precious thing. None of that will matter when you expire unless you give it to someone who wants it just before you pass.

[@bob4analog]

@@GOGGLETUBESUCKS4UIC well, that's the plan.. to be resourceful.. to pass it on to someone else or to Goodwill.. something like that. After I'm gone, it obviously won't matter to me, I'll be dead. But it would be nice to know that someone else could use it and keep it out of the landfill. There's just too much waste as it is.
