Hi everyone,

Emptying another box in the garage ... if you want any of these items let me know. Everything worked when it went into storage.

Windows 7 Pro OEM DVD with sticker in box. Might have been activated, maybe not. Usually if I activate it I take the sticker off.

Bluetooth 5 transmitter/receiver. This is a cool device. You could hook it up to an output from an old stereo to transmit audio from the stereo to BT headphones. Or use it as a receiver to send BT from your phone to the stereo to play over the speakers. There is some latency so might not be the best choice for use with TV (although you can manually adjust VLC to lag the video).

Japanese typewriter. Yes. It is a japanese typewriter/word processor. Given to me by a friend.

Linksys SPA3000 VOIP gateway with PSTN. In theory you can hook a home phone line into a asterisk PBX with this gateway. I never got it to work reliably but many online sources say this item is great.

LVDS controller board. Take an LCD from an old laptop, connect it to this controller, away you go. Getting the right cable for the LCD can be a problem.
