My guess is that somebody knew how to fix it and it's probably humming away and doing its job today in somebody's basement. Much better, in my opinion, that simply being scrapped.

Thanks, Wayne. We might just try that. We've already "off-loaded" two very small bikes that our sons had outgrown. We put a sign on them saying "FREE" and, after a couple days, both of them went.

Cheers,

Here in Northern California (Stockton) we have what I call "okie Trash Day" about once or twice a year. i live in an apartment, so I don't have to deal with it, but you can usually spot mostly rednecks in old pickups running around the neighborhood looking for treasures, and though I joke about it, more power to 'em. Like the good Doc, I'd much rather see someone get some further use out of an item that someone paid good money for originally. However, aside from Okie trash day, if you try to put something like an old appliance out for sale here, if you put a sign on it saying "free", it'll sit. So you have to put a sign on it saying "$20" or something small like that to get someone to just pick it up and take off with it. Sign of the times around here I guess.... *sigh*
