One of my great EFM scores last month is this soutra XL #iPod dock. Solar panel to charge the internal battery and the iPod itself, the speakers are ok though I wish there was more bass. Still has the #apple property tag on it, missing the cover for the dock though. Works well, likely one of the better #EFM finds for me.

Along with @tubetime 's thread this morning, here are some other pictures from #EFM aka #electronicsFleaMarket

Not as good as last month, but a couple of finds.

Be sure to check out my pixelfed post for other pictures

I scored 2 #Thinkpad #X260 laptops at #EFM #electronicsfleamarket in March with a handful of batteries for really cheap.
a i7 2.6Ghz and an i5 2.4Ghz

The i7 is immaculate, and is running great.
The i5 has some issues. Opening it up it was missing the SSD and SODIMM RAM, and I noted some corrosion on the aluminum frame around the SSD slot.

Getting it to moot up, there is this really weird spotting and "worms" with the #LCD that is really distracting. Not sure how this happened - and would love any insights as to the what & why this happened.
I suspect just easier to swap out the 12.5" 1366x768 for something with better resolution?

I did order two 32 GB DDR4 2666 SODIMMs from #aliexpress - the unofficial max #RAM for these X260's - and they work great. Both the i7 & the i5 detect the SODIMMs in the BIOS and in Win11. I initially had some spare 16GB SODIMMs in them, but why not max out the RAM when most apps and browsers are memory hogs lately?

Berlin Swapfest – Electronics flea market — https://www.swapfest.berlin/
#HackerNews #BerlinSwapfest #ElectronicsFleaMarket #TechCommunity #SustainableLiving #GadgetLovers

This efm was lighter with vendors/sellers than past months, suspect the move off of mothers day and it being on Sundays.

Still some interesting sights, good folks to talk to, and some deals.

Worth checking out IMHO

It is #EFM #electronicsfleamarket #eflea day - the Early rain had some folks stay home, but there were some good finds

Bay Area folks: it’s #electronicsfleamarket day! The market is always an adventure. I’m sad to be far away it!

the last of the heart & brains of the matter – a #PowerMac #G4 Digital Audio #motherboard
Dated 2000, it has the code 820-1173-A on the board. This board still had the plastic spacer on the #CMOS battery!

This was another #EFM #electronicsFleaMarket find before it became #ewaste
If you have a need for this, give me shout – I would love to get this to a good home than taking up space in my garage.

Another for the heart & brains of the matter – a #PowerMac #G4 #motherboard
Dated 2001, it has the code 820-1342-B on the board. From the label on the anti-static bag this is brand new. Good thing I pulled this out and removed the battery!

Lets move onto the heart & brains of the matter – an #iMac #G3 #M5521 #motherboard
Dated 1999, from one of the labels it looks to be a 400 Mhz & 64 MB. It has the code 820-1051-A
