CLICK to download as an 11x17 inch PDF! At least once a year, Sphere holds a Stuff Day, where we get rid of parts, equipment, tools, metalwork, equipment and so forth. A lot is 100% FREE, the rest is very cheap so we can clear out more space. Each year, the items are different, depending on exactly what we have been doing, so it is always a new and interesting event, and this year includes huge quantities of parts of all kinds. Lots of great deals by the box full, just take them away. THIS YEAR, thanks to coronavirus problems, we will have REMOTE STUFF DAY all spring and summer so everybody can enjoy the event wherever you are, and still stay safe.

YOU ARE E-INVITED

all spring and summer!



Everybody gets their choice of lots of free stuff, plus there are some great deals on test gear of all kinds. You can order or reserve items at any time until they are gone, but first come, first served. Yes, pick up is available for heavy items. What will we have? This year, free items include all kinds of electronic parts, metalwork, partial or repairs-needed test gear of all kinds, salvage boards, cables and connectors and computer hardware, entertainment gear, technical books, and magazines.
