Donations

 

Jon: Happy to donate a PanTilt web camera for security/whatever purposes. Also an  LCD projector or two =).

 

Kean: I can donate a hot air soldering/rework station (similar to Jaycar TS-1570), and probably some test equipment (bench PSU, old Tek mainframe oscilloscope (100MHz but big), etc), maybe even an old lathe once I upgrade...

 

smallkathryn: Happy to donate some reference programming books, and I might be able to donate some couches and a fridge

 

Justin: If anyone is seriously intrested in motion capture I've got a bunch of Ascension Motion Star gear.

adam : i've got a weller soldering station i'm happy to donate + a whole bunch of misc tools and gadgets multimeters and such.

 

rich: I've got a fairly neat and useful P4 desktop with 2Gigs of RAM and a 17" LCD - it'd make a pretty decent machine for PCB design or machine control?

 

Mike Horne; [updated] I have 7 upright coat lockers, could be useful to either keep lengths of wood/metal stock in, or could be laid flat and stacked for paint/volatile liquid storage, or tools. May need a ute to pickup in one hit though.
