Sola 200 power conditioner. Very effective, working mains filter but based on a ferro-resonant transformer so is noisy and not suited for home or office.



Sola 400 UPS. Faulty - it trips my core balance circuit breaker.



Cyrix 486 based computer. Includes proprietary CDROM interface and CDROM. Probably all working.



Lexmark Z35 printer. Empty cartridges but probably working.



Canon BJC210 printer. Probably working but only black ink.



HP Deskjet 690C. Probably not working but, if it is, it will die soon. These printers were terrible.



Epson Stylus Color 480. This one works sometimes and probably has some ink left.

Computer Bank might be able to take them off your hands. They are at
