SMPS installed, no clicking from mouse (!), and no muting of sound when anything other than Winamp started. That was a peculiar fault...
Washed with soapy water, dried in sun, lubed fan (oil still wet, so hardly used), replaced a 2200uF/6.3V with a 2200uF/16V, put it back together.
Then replaced in the CPU, worked first time.

jj: Look inside the Denon, if something is missing, the transformer seems to be in place if it powers on.
Do lube the internal cooling fan.
And see if your own weight is accurate on the scale.
If not, strip and lube it, the springs slide things on guide ways, and dry grease can cause erratic readings.
It is basically a spring balance, with an indicator, and a way to read the weight on the platform.

Ulefone Armor 26 Ultra.
Phone with about 15000mah battery, 512GB storage space, 12GB RAM.
Nightvision camera.
Feels like I should have a carry permit for this thing, quite hefty.

A peavy keyboard amp, it is to be donated to gothernburg blues society where my mind finds peace

I nabbed an octet of Russian 6BM8s and a couple of teeny-tiny 7k output transformers to make a teeny-tiny amplifier, powered from a DC-DC converter driven by a 12V switching adapter.
A few DC-DC switching boards, 5-12V DC input, 5 / 3.3 / 2.5 /1.8 / 1.25V outputs, postage stamp size, 50 cents each.
Peculiarly, the positive pole is common, and the selection is on negative pole.
Used one to drive a small mains fail emergency light, battery and circuit were failed, so I used that and a small 220 VAC / 12VDC 1A SMPS to drive the LEDS, works nice as a small high lighting lamp.
Also some PCBs populated with white LEDs, 12V input, put a couple in old 11W CFL housings, quite good light, have to drill holes for ventilation if they need continuous use.
A couple of 4" 220V panel fans, as vebtilation for bathrooms, quite effective, in 2 bathrooms.

Replaced the lead acid battery in a small torch with a 3.7 V 1000 mAh Li-ion cell, AA size, $ 1.25, more than what the torch costs, but those are more reliable than lead acid, particularly in occasional use, the power rarely fails here, and when you find the rechargeable torch is dead, it is a problem.
A Mag-Lite shape Chinese torch, with a a replaceable Litium cell, just $3.50 or so, with a charger, the LED, if green, says no need to charge, and it turns red when mains is on, as a charging indicator.
2 foot spot at 400 feet, quite well focussed, does not seem water proof, but in the car or around the house, quite good enough for me.
There is a round end plug, open to replace the cell, no need for a skilled person to replace the battery.
I have been putting 18650 cells, 2.6 or higher A-H rating, as direct replacements in torches / lamps with lead-acid batteries, they work well without circuit modification, I stick them in place with adhesive tape, the supplies are usually R-C networks...
The cells are sold with and without flying leads, got a 6000 mAh claimed one without leads for $1 or so.

A high-voltage differential probe to analyze the output from my electrostatic headphones amps. I found a good deal for a Micsig.
Thanks! Looks pretty nice for what it is, there's plenty of headroom in case of 'normal' hi-fi listening. Honesty is always encouraging!
Just got a 15€ "Shelly" LAN switch from Amazon and installed it. I only use it to switch my annoying loud air compressor that is hidden in the heater room without running half way around the house. Works like a charm, as long as you use the smartphone app for the installation and not the PC instruction.
When I read about “smart home control” the last time, a few years ago, such stuff was prohibitive expensive and highly complicated.
Today, if I renovated or build a new home, I would install such devices instead of manual light switches. You don't have to worry about installation schemes any more, cross switches and the like. It is even cheaper than good looking conventional hardware.
Just telling Alexa to switch on the light is not only cool, but very practical too.
The downside, you have to accept some Chinese spy agency will know when you switch off your bedside lamp. No secrets any more...
My wife said: "but when we have no electricity, Alexa won't work!" Well she is right, but the conventional lamps won't shine either.

"Free" by the side of the road. With bag!
Added a little oil, some gas and started right up. After putting some tension on the cable that operates the arrow'd mechanism that is. Seems Mr Cable stretched to the point of not being able to pull hard enough on the engine stop thingy, to move it into the "on" position.
I mean, here's to the capability we all pretty much have in DIY; some people cant do a thing. I mean even I dont have a permanent solution to fix off the tips of my fingers, but as Moribund the Burgermeister said to his Mom "I say I will" find out how to do it.
I have a working 36V electric - also obtained for free, from someone who apparently...couldnt figure out batteries. But that's not going to mow down the giant Hogweeds growing on the other side of the back fence, between it and the blackberry bushes. This is just the ticket to keep that area scrubbed down. 4HP and only 21" diameter should chew through.
As a tribute to my good fortune, I'll soon be walking down to the Boulevard my other electric, with its two 18AH batteries (at $100 to replace...) that are tired but still work, complete with charger and bag. With the same "Free" sign on it that was taped to this one.

$2000 worth of light fixtures for the shop and the barn. Between 15 4’ LED strip lights, 14 LED-retrofit type strip lights (plus 2 cases of bulbs), six HID replacement high bays, two floods and two wall packs. Ordered at 9 this morning, shipped this afternoon. Should be here tomorrow or the next day - warehouse is only 100 miles away.
The 8 foot version of those strip lights that only does 5000k costs more than two 4’s that can do 3500, 4000 or 5000. Same brand. Go figure. I can put ‘em end to end and make 12 or 16 foot strips.

I signed the contract, so I guess that counts as buying. Attorneys will flail me if I don't go through.
Zillow listing
This link will probably disappear in a month or so.
Basically a single level 1024 sq-ft (95sq-m) house with 3Bdr 1 Ba and a 594sq-ft (55.2 sq-m)detached garage, 256 sq-ft (23.8 sq-m) utility building, 256 sq-ft (23.8 sq-m) root cellar on 1.19 acres of half slightly sloped land and the rest new growth forest. Well on site, septic system on site, no garbage collection. It is surrounded by three hay fields, and a forested mountain on the other side. Well on site, connection and throw-over for an auxiliary generator. Good space for gardening. The nearest neighbor is a good ways away. I am hoping for low light pollution at night.
It is a "Fixer-Upper" in my opinion. It needs LOTS of work.
