Out at Nike HQ they have a building where all the decommissioned Computers, A/V Gear, Etc... goes to die. They can still write it all off somehow if it is still in inventory so they don't get rid of any of it. Tons of stuff. Probably 30+ Genelec 1032's since they were the booth monitors all over campus. All the old Analog mixers from before the digital switch. I think they are Mackie 8 buss boards maybe? A few Allen Heaths. Recording gear, video gear, camera stuff, lighting... it's entirely sad. A mountain of stuff that could be useful to schools and other people. Actually, when I was working for The Chicago Cultural Center, we took some old gear to a warehouse on the south side that was pretty similar. Tons of old PA gear, some microphones from CPL, slide projectors, 8/16mm projectors... and every 8 and 16mm film that ever belonged to Chicago Public Library. All of them. We actually cataloged them and had some viewings at the Cultural Center in the theater. I still have a Crown macro tech poweramp that I pulled out of a dumpster there. Works great.Adam P wrote: Tue Feb 08, 2022 6:54 am I scour the e-waste bins every day that I’m in the office. Plenty of good stuff to be had. I also have several decommissioned items from a certain well-known music-centric museum in northeast Ohio from a similar arrangement.
