However, I discovered a few gems amongst all the boxes of unidentifiable hardware and smelly old swivel chairs.
I put a bid in for a drafting table, similar to this one below:
A new one like this retails anywhere from $800-$1600!!! I got mine for twenty bucks! It's used, but in very good condition. The thing is built like a tank.My other wins include TWO of these:
(my cat Einstein seems to like it)It's a Panasonic video imager, or document camera. I have no idea what these things cost brand new, but they couldn't have been cheap. I'm planning on using them as pencil test stations - all I need to do is add a pegbar and capture the stills through the computer. The clarity is actually really good, for a standard video camera. I placed some drawings under it and they show up really well on the TV. Perhaps I'll try some stop-motion stuff too. I picked 'em both up for $25 each.
And finally, I bid on two 16mm film projectors - they're still at the college, but I got them for a dollar each! I don't know what brand they are, but they come in avocado green cases, and I'm sure they're 30+ years old. But they both work, and that's the main thing. I've always wanted my own 16mm projector, and now I have two!
So I got all that new stuff for under $80.00! Nee-hah! I know, this post probably wasn't as exciting as, say, NEW ARTWORK, but I've been too busy lately to post anything. I'm still planning on finishing my Popmart piece, and I've got a few new projects I gotta get done before the end of May. I'll try and post 'em here when I can!
