Successful spoils from MIT’s Swapfest today:
Some stuff strange [vintage Burton-esque rake and the ugliest heat-sink ever]
Some stuff questionably fun [Hermes 811 calculator w/ vacuum tubing + Heathkit ‘color generator’]
Some stuff useful [a real clamp! and a hand-powered drill to replace my Dremel in case power goes out]
Some stuff that I really did need [RGT rinse pump #2 and a solenoid for the crybot]
and I no longer can deny- vintage tools that are both aesthetic and functional hit a sweet spot in me. Sigh..
