Hi all, My company had a fire incident with a laser cutter (let this be a lesson for all of us about laser cutter safety!). Although most of the parts are still good, they've decided to simply replace the entire machine with a new one. Let me know if you are interested in taking the old one. It's offered as-is with no guarantees made and no responsibility taken, but we think it could be brought back to working condition with a little elbow grease and, obviously, replacing the cover. The laser still works, as do the Y and Z axes. The X axis needs the belt changed and the cover needs to be completely replaced. Then everything will have to be recalibrated. We estimate it's something like 6-10 hours of work. You would also need to arrange for transport from West Oakland. It's a 100W Omtech unit <https://omtechlaser.com/products/100w-co2-laser-engraver-cutter-usb-gr57-us>, selling new for $3899. We really liked it, and replaced it with an identical model. Let me know if interested and when you could pick it up. Tim

Embroidery machine

by ninevra

Hi! I was at sudoroom a few months ago and saw that there was an embroidery machine (babylock ellageo esg2 i think) in the downstairs sewing lab. It was kind of disassembled at the time. Does anyone happen to know if it's working or needs parts/repairs? -- -ninevra Sent with Proton Mail secure email.

Right to repair just passed in New York state!

by Andrew R Gross

The New York governor just signed a rate repair bill. It’s the first one, I think, and apparently the industry groups came down on her, super hard after the legislature passed it overwhelmingly. I honestly didn’t expect she had that chutzpah! https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/12/weakened-right-to-repair-bill-is-si… Now let’s do one here! -- *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Miscellaneous Electronics Available Tomorrow 10:30AM

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: See below: Jack Soares heads the Oakland Tool Lending Library Volunteers and gets calls for estate clean-outs regularly: contact him directly for more details if you're interested. -Peter -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Of Possible Interest: Miscellaneous Electronics Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2022 23:51:21 +0000 (UTC) From: Jack Soares <jacksoares(a)sbcglobal.net> To: petermui(a)gmail.com <petermui(a)gmail.com> Peter-- A real estate agent who contacts me when she have a house with tools to empty has a place in the Elwood District that has to be cleaned out by January 4. Celena and I visited today. The owners had a load of electronic gear and cables that might be of interest to your crew. If not, it's headed to e-waste. I'll be there tomorrow at about 10:30, if you or any of the FixIt folk want to join us. On a Related Front: Years ago I picked up some electronics that had been used to install solar hot water systems. Nice-looking old-style meters that I'd intended to install in our grandkids' treehouse to give it a second life as a space ship or submarine. They weren't interested and the stuff has been gathering dust in my shop. Does that sort of thing hold any interest for you? On a Related Front #2: Picked up many bolts of cloth from an upholstery shop cleaning its warehouse. Four or five of them didn't pass my wife's inspection. Would your sewing shop be interested? And so on like that... --Jack.
