Nikon Coolpix W300
Found in e-waste. I don't think anyone even used it. I have the brand new box with all of the accessories and I vaguely remember removing clear plastic that protected scratchable surfaces.
More sample photos from Atlin, BC Warm Springs and Grotto.

Shot on dumpfound Nikon Coolpix W300. I found this nifty waterproof camera in a local e-waste facility.

Sansui 661 Receiver
Another dumpfound item. This was going to be crushed as e-waste. It has been tested and pots cleaned. Sounds pretty good but is need of full restoration and cleaning. Some of these are only in fair shape because they were tossed in bins. Sansui has some good stuff - love my AU-9500. My favorite daily use amp.

Pioneer SA-5200
This small 70s amp was one of my first daily use dumpfinds. I found it at an e-waste facility and I was immediately struck by its simplicity. This may not be high in power but it pumps bookshelf speakers better than modern crap. I may be biased because it was free. I dug it out for a new space and cleaned the pots. It is new to me again.

One person's e-waste is another's Treasure. 70s stereo goodness and other "waste". Today I am sorting out what to start testing, cleaning, and repairing. #sansui #marantz #ewaste #audio #dumpfinds

Alienware Area 51 7500 RestoMod

Dumpfound parts to restore a beauty of a case. Yes, to you purists, I saved the OG parts.
GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 Motherboard, Razer Mouse, Logitech G-513 Keys, Pioneer SA-7500 mk II amp - all sourced from ewaste. The power supply I found in the dump almost wrecked everything and the dumpfound GTX1060 was eventually replaced by an RX6700XT. It runs Endeavour OS. It is now my daily desktop and edit suite.

Bissell Pet Vacuum - Found at local dump in e-waste. It was dirty and full of vacuumed up crap but it worked. Once cleaned, the vacuum worked very well!
When I found it, I didn't realize the charging cord had a proprietary connector. I just assumed it would take standard AC cable or wall wart of some sort. I ended up returning to the dump and found the original cable!

Elvis Presley - Baby Let's Play House / I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone

It was a dime. That early Elvis rockabilly sound on 78s. I also purchased Mystery Train and Love Me Tender at a small town thrift shop for a dime each - Not mint but it sounds nostalgically nice.
