I have about 4 mystery boxes of stuff in my barn. I need to go back thru them to get a mental picture of all the cool stuff I have sitting in boxes never getting used....until I need it.....then I can't find it.
That’s the cool part of searching for that one thing you know you have… and find **** that you saved 20 years ago. I will hunt for a couple days and then give up… go to Home Depot only to come home and find what I was looking for soon after I installed it. I can almost guarantee it happening before the hunt.when I bought my town's Radio Shack, the old guy who had it used to be a tv repair guy.
He had more outdated electronic junk in boxes and thought he should get retail for them. Uh, no....
So I put a lot of stuff, electronic components, outdated small parts, in boxes and said ten bucks for everything.
When the EE's who worked in tech up on Route 1 in NJ saw that stuff, they were in heaven. They rooted around those boxes
like kids in a playland. Gone in one week.
I think a lot of what we have has been stored under the idea "I'll find a use for that".
but where did you store it?
