Matthew D'Asaro passed around word of an imminent clean up of obsolete equipment in the MIT EE stockroom. The department seems to have done a good job of letting the profs and EE students pick over the goodies first. They then moved the gear into the hallway with a "please take me away" sign. Here's an inventory of what I saw:
