    Inside that box is the oldest audio recorder I've ever seen. It was given to me in college for a research study I did and now I'm hoping it will be useful as a relic. Off to the goodwill it goes!

    Another storage find - a keyboard that hasn't been touched in I don't know how long - hopefully goodwill has a home for this one too.
