Consumertronics-Built Hardware Salvage Sale!
All of these former Off-the-Shelf and Special Projects Items - many controverial
- all unique and handmade - are now being offered strictly as non-functional
salvage for parts only at very low prices compared to the prices we sold these
types for as functional hardware. Better the parts get salvaged and re-used
then planted in one of New Mexico's 100s of landfills.
GENERAL: All
items are our past Office-the-Shelf Hardware and unique Special Projects devices
sold for legal utility, educational and/or entertainment purposes only based
on our policies: ( www.consumertronics.net/policies.htm).
See: www.consumertronics.net/oshpast.html. All items
are sold non-functional for the buyer to use their parts in whatever strictly
legal capacities he/she needs them for. NOTE: We do
NOT sell as functioning hardware any version of any hardware that we make or
ever made - please do not inquire about functioning versions of hardware we
make or made (we do sell, trade and buy new and used
functioning hardware made by others (many varieties) - see our surplus
and items4trade webpages for lists - hotlinks below).
Just as most of our past hardware we
now sell as salvage for parts only were very unique, handmade, artistically
created, innovative and experimental devices, most of them were constructed
using unusual and even non-standard parts and techniques - some of which are
not available elsewhere (e.g. our unique very flat spiral antennas,
originally designed for our ATM Modules, that fit into thin slots and cracks
and between closely-spaced PC boards to record and playback signals).
Most items are 95+% electronically complete;
none are less than 90% electronically complete (excluding batteries,
wiring, and non-electrical/electronic parts such as screws and nuts);
and most come with all or at least most of their cabling (we
almost alway used standard-type connectors and cabling). Because all
devices are sold as salvage for parts and subsections only, we did not and do
not attempt to test, troubleshoot, repair or restore any of the items, so we
generally have no idea, we make no claims, and we will not provide any information
we may know as to what repairs, changes, replacements and-or additions would
make any device complete and functional (however, if required
to preserve the current physical integrity of the salvaged device so that valuable
parts and subsections don't get lost, displaced or damaged in transit, we may
better secure components to their boards and cases; and while most of this hardware
is stored in plastic bags under climate control, we may also clean up or polish
up devices as needed so they arrive at your place in the best salvagable conditions
we can reasonably make them based on their current conditions). Note
that while all "copies" of each device we made and sold as Off-the-Shelf
Hardware (OSH) as described in our oshpast.html webpage were all similar in
designs, features and functions, those devices that we made and sold as Special
Projects had special features and functions contracted for by our clients although
most were basically similar in their features and functions to OSH-type devices.
Most of these devices were salvaged for
no other reasons except that they were still in inventory when we decided to
stop selling hardware, they were cosmetically blemished and thus shelved for
later inhouse use, they were used as lab master devices (usually
with more features than the standard sold devices), or they were returned
because of relatively minor problems or undeliverable but in good condition.
However, regardless of their current conditions (we never stored
any of our completed devices in functional condition; prior to shelving, we
would disconnect the Output lead in case we were burglarized or raided by special
interest goons, and then as we needed to use any device or ship it, we would
quickly reconnect it back up, retest it and then use/ship it), all items
are sold strictly as non-functional electronic salvage for parts only, and all
sales are final with NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND relevant to any device as a whole
and to any device part or subsection (stated, implied or otherwise,
including for functionability, merchantability or fitness for any particular
use or purpose, and with no user manual, schematics, support or batteries -
see our policies.htm webpage). We do NOT recommend that you restore any
salvage device to its original functioning condition - again, just use them
for their parts and subsections adapted to YOUR designs. While we will not provide
a user manual or schematics, we will provide you a basic description of the
layout and originally intended function of each major device section so that
you can more easily determine and locate the components you wish to salvage.
MOSTLY NON-SOLDERED PARTS: Most parts
and subsections are NOT soldered into place but were installed onto solderless
breadboards, and can be relatively easily lifted up and pulled off using a small
screwdriver and pliars without desoldering or burning them off. Or remove just
those parts you don't need for your circuit functions, and then install whatever
other parts are required by your functions. And contrary to multi-layered PC
boards (virtually all PC boards these days), breadboard
wiring appears on the top of the breadboard and thus much easier to trace and
modify. Thus most parts and subsections can usually be salvaged on or off of
their prototype boards and much more easily repaired or modified for your particular
applications (e.g. using a power supply or oscillator section
for one of your designs).
PRICES & INQUIRIES:
Prices are negotiable for all items. The absolute minimum price for any item
is 25% of the price listed on www.consumertronics.net/oshpast.html
(we will not respond to any offer less than 25% of listed price,
and may not respond to offers 25% - 50%). To negotiate prices or any
other questions or inquiries concerning these offers, please email us (do
not call us) at (wizguru@consumertronics.net)
(be sure to put in Subject Line: "Offer for Salvage Items"
or "Inquiry for Salvage Items"), or fax us (no
cover sheet, 2 pages max) ==> 505-275-5637. Again,
do NOT call us about these items - all deals and inquiries must be made in writing
(nothing verbally stated in any way alters or changes what is stated
on this webpage, on oshpast.html or on policies.htm, or amounts to any kind
of claim, deal, agreement or other contract by us).
ORDERING & SHIPPING:
Order Form hotlinks are top of page. Please pay in full prior to shipment with
check, money order (MO), BidPay or Western Union (WU) (no credit
card or COD), made out to "Consumertronics". For fastest shipping,
please pay with Postal MO (if Canada, in $US), BidPay
or WU (allow 2+ weeks for checks and non-Postal MOs to clear
before shipping). Sales are based on a first come, first serve basis.
Some items are singular or limited quantity - once gone, there will be no more
at any price. We refund for any item we cannot supply. NOTE:
Prices and availabilities may change without further notice, and
as supplies dwindle, we will likely raise prices. No
onsite visits for any reason or type are ever permitted. We ship
all items, F.O.B. Albuquerque, NM. S/H is in addition to the sale price (S/H
depends on weight, size, shipping address, and mode of shipping). Shipping
is based on UPS Ground Rate ($6 min.; for the same shipping amount,
we will also ship USPS Ground if you specify; for 2nd-Day Air or Overnight,
payment must be made by Postal MO, BidPay or WU, and shipping is higher),
or Air Rate (if foreign). USA and Canada Handling is $1.50
per lb for 0.5 -10 lbs shipping weight, plus 50 cents per lb for 10.01-100 lb,
plus 25 cents per lb above 100 lb (for all other foreign Handling,
double these amounts as more packing and forms are required). Please
allow 10 work days to ship for Ground and 3 work days to ship for 2nd. Day Air
and Overnight for us to retrieve hardware from storage, and to prepare it for
shipping.
COMBINED ORDERS S/H: A combined order
is one in which more than one item - hardware and-or publications - are bought
and paid for at the same time by the same customer and shipped to the same address.
Combined orders provide considerable savings in S/H. Shipping costs usually
depend mostly on item weight. Mostly because of the way we get charged for shipping
based on how we usually ship, the minimum shipping cost for any single item
is based on a weight of 1 lb, and any weight above an integral pound is usually
charged at the next highest integer pound rate (e.g. a 2.7 lb
package is charged at 3 lb rate). However, when items are combined, the
combined shipping weight of all of the items is usually substantially less than
if the items were shipped separately, resulting in substantial customer savings.
This is especially true if some of your ordered items are relatively light weight
(e.g. publications). In addition, you save substantial handling costs
by combining orders. And you take less of a chance that any item you may postpone
may later be no longer available. Therefore, you should order ALL of the items
you are interested in at the same time as a combined order.
HARDWARE & SPECIAL SERVICES (for
legal educational and/or entertainment purposes only)! Our exciting
books and manuals are described on our Online Catalog webpage: www.consumertronics.net/index2.htm.
Many of these include comprehensive circuit diagrams and functional descriptions.
As incredible as some may seem, we actually designed and built here almost all
of these circuits (and many, many more), and sold them as our Off-the-Shelf
Hardware and Special Projects. We no longer sell functional hardware
that we make. We do sell nonfunctional hardware of what
we used to make - mostly electronic (www.consumertronics.net/oshpast.html)
strictly as salvage: www.consumertronics.net/salvage.html
(LIMITED QUANTITIES REMAINING! - once sold there will be no more! - buy all
you need as soon as possible - before they are all forever gone!), and also
strictly as very realistically-looking models, mockups, replicas and novelties
as SPECIAL PROJECTS: www.consumertronics.net/spaf-spp.html.
NOTE: For salvage and SP hardware, while priced very low compared to the original
functional versions, we provide no guarantees, support, user manuals, schematics
or batteries. We also provide many Special Projects research services.
