Dumpster Diving "Pivot!"

[@johnensalaco5012]

Mike, that was the electronics case for a laser shoot, training simulator that used a projector and a screen to play a scenario that trained people on whether to shoot, or not shoot. A firearm would have been fitted with a laser in the barrel that would record you reaction time and shot locations on the screen . Very cool training stuff.

13:19 - "Luxul XWC-1000 Wireless LAN Controller - Manages up to 16 WiFi Access Points" Several on ebay, running around $90-$110. 18:45 - That Powermark equipment rack case should bring a cool c-note as-is (letgo, ebay local pickup, yard sale). New, these run anywhere from $700-$1500 or more. Went to your recap, and looks like this load will keep you busy testing, cleaning, and throwing up listings. The stuff you find just blows my mind! You truly live in a dumpster diving paradise.

You were pulling out so many wires a power cord and a Coke can popped out of my screen. I just threw it back in , didn’t want you to miss one.

[@rockvideophotographer6054]

The first item you found is a coil binding machine for the printing industry. You stack up like 50 pages. Put it into the middle of the machine and it punches rectangle holes the whole length of the paper. Then you place a plastic or metal spiral binder on top and the spiral opens up. You place the sheets into the binders with the holes and close the spiral. The main company that makes these machines are GBC General Binding Company.

[@artanddebearickson9729]

Mike, the hidden cams are called granny cams they are for monitoring how people are treating those who may need protection. Also, the lights' control is so you can turn on or off your lights in different rooms. It's helpful for those in wheelchairs and can be used to scare off intruders. I suspect the door bell system , something .

Your " Hole Cutter " is for making those plastic spiral note book things. You take your documents ( like for presentations ) set the switches on the front ( for paper length ) put the stack in, punch holes, put the plastic spiral piece in, pull lever 7 it binds everything together. I think someone said it simply a Binding Machine. Now my fingers are out of breath !

[@sherryredd3347]

Those are clips. I used to work for a company that used real weapon parts and fitted them with electronics. Used to train military and police personnel. Kind of like a video game but for the big boys. We even made 50 cals. No bullets, just fired lasers at a screen. Same weight, recoil, had to load just like a real weapon. I loved my job!!

[@karenbeyerlein997]

That is for binding documents, sheet music, cookbooks, presentations, very useful. I wish I had the binding machine from work-I used it a lot.

[@dukeblakeslee5448]

The big black item looks like stage curtains for bands like we used in the clubs so that we wouldn't have to worry about fires and so that the lights would not reflect off anything else.

[@Vault57]

Those cases! The gray one with the casters would make a nice rolling tool chest for a shop. The long plastic screen case would make a nice travel case to take a couple of long guns in to the range.

[@MartinLegare]

Yep a binding machine, you need the plastic straps with all the clips on to hold the pages. the toot on top is to strech the plastic stips to insert the pages. As a photographer, there a couple off interresting stuff in that cinema lot. Even the big blac cloth could be used as a dark backdrop. If I was in your neiborhood, I,d sure be interrested and you could sell them to a photography amateur. Even the white sheet in the pastic container could be used as a light shade.

[@paulman246]

The Black Cloth with webbing and grommets is a Stage Background, used in Theatre, film, and Audio Visual Presentations. They can be very expensive.

[@RMBlake007]

As Eric The Great said, the large box contained the electronics for a firearms training simulator, and the magazines go into simulated firearms. But to expand on that, it looks like that dumpster had almost all of the components for a Firearms Range Theater. Police & military agencies use a "theater" set up to train officers in "shoot/don't shoot scenarios. Different situations are projected onto large screens in 180 up to 300 degree fields so the officers can react to whether they should shoot or not. Various scenarios are projected onto the screens; sometimes it is "bad guys", other times it is innocent bystanders or victims. Although it is a "virtual world", this training helps officers/trainees make split seconds decisions. The video projection equipment, the large bundle of black fabric , (used for the sides and backdrop of the "theater"), the screens, the poles that are used to hold up the various parts of the theater, etc are all part of the "theater". They now have units like this but they are upgraded to be wireless & the electronic components etc., are much more compact.

[@Ladammerouge]

R M BLAKE I worked at a school that had the setup you described. It was used for the criminal justice program. I think it cost about $40,000 to get everything in place. That was 9 years ago. I got to participate in an active shooter scenario in courtroom. It was pretty intense and a awesome training tool. The schools instructors were state certified and the space was often rented out to police as a training facility. That equipment is not cheap and it looks like Mike missed a bunch of things in the dumpster.

[@RMBlake007]

@@Ladammerouge Yes, you are right, the simulators are very expensive. That's cool that you were able to participate. I have also used the set up in my own career training. Yes, Mike missed a bunch of stuff, but it's one of those things, if you have never seen this type of set-up, you don't know what you have so it would be extremely unlikely for someone to recognize it for what it was.

[@wmdou1]

Don’t know where you live Mike,but it’s a real money maker between garage selling & scrapping. I envy you.

[@johnames8942]

You could use the Westcott aluminum rod to make a mini stick to attach to your bike for grabbing things.

[@ATAATX]

Firearms Judgement Simulator is the old " Shoot - Don't Shoot " LEO trainer.

[@BlazeMN]

That machine is a binder. You put the plastic spiral piece on top, punch the holes then it's lined up to put the plastic binder loops through. I used them all the time for requests for proposals, bids and equipment books.

[@beckysweeps9748]

The bottom part punches holes and the top part pulls the plastic combs open so you can put the paper with holes on to the combs, release and you have bound it. We use one at work to put documents together.

[@paulmaehara7878]

That piece of equipment you found at the first dumpster is a binding machine worth about $1500-$2000. If it works, you might get a decent amount on it.

[@jhondoe5147]

You got a bunch of stage production gear. The wireless stuff can be used for guitars & mics etc. That big black bag you refereed to is a Back drop for stage so audience doesn't see behind the event to back stage. They are VERY EXPENSIVE. Those two pole things are so you can drop it from the ground for load out. The white airline case is a component rack. You wheel it in take front & back off to hook up cables. for load out you drop cables replace covers & your out. Everything is kept safe & hooked up to each other in travel and ready to go for next time.

[@RyanTaylor228]

Don't sleep on those remotes! I found one in the dumpster before and sold it for $100 on ebay! Check them before you do anything, some are worth a good amount! Especially that Samsung one! Awesome finds! Owwwweeeee!

that cable tool is for putting the ends on RG6 coaxial cable. there is usually a tool used to cut the end to strip it, then the end goes on and that tool crimps id down or locks the back in to place. I used them a lot.
