Free Stuff Curbside!

[brooklinegirl.livejournal.com]

Tons of free stuff outside of 34 Irving Street, just placed a few minutes ago. Storage solutions: crates, baskets, boxes, bags! Backpack! Some old kitchen stuff! Cardboard drawers in decent condition! and a box of 45s! All sorts, no sleeves, but you might be able to sell them! Plus tons more - baby stuff, wrapping paper (in a storage container, great condition on the paper), bucket, small ice chest! Come take a look!

ETA: Just added: two working VCRs and a working scanner.

Box of 45's taken! Not much collector value without the sleeves, but my jukebox and I thank you!
If anybody wants a big aluminum lobster or spaghetti pot, there was one there when I visited.

My jukebox broke =[ Do you know a good place for repairs/replacement parts?

You've got a jukebox too? Cool! Glad to know I'm not the only lover of retrotech around here.

For juke and pin repair, look on Highland Av just down from Kickass Cupcakes, and you'll see a house with a little sign advertising pinball repair and jukebox repair. I think it says "Pinballs Plus". There's a nice semi-retired guy there who'll make house calls.

Unfortunately, I don't remember his name or have his business card handy, but he's worked on two of my pins and the jukebox, and did a great job!

Ah-ha! A stray neuron fired and I remembered his name. Paul Silva. He's the man to see in this area for repairing jukeboxes and pins!

do you happen to have a metal spatula among the kitchen stuff?

[brooklinegirl.livejournal.com]

nope, I'm sorry!

I've been looking for a VCR for awhile, but there's no way I could get out there today... I'm visiting family in NH. Do you know if either one will still be available tomorrow?

I'm sure if the poster was psychic enough to determine if anyone passing by her street in the next 24 hours wanted a VCR, she would've already dropped it directly in front of your house for you to find like at the end of some magical gift rainbow.

Yep, I could have worded my question better. Thanks for pointing it out.
