A great way to get rid of junk – or – one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. If you have something you want to give us and it’s not on the list, that’s fine! We’ll take it too!

o Record player (able to play the big sized records. Should be used! New record players are expensive, and I want to do some conversions on it).
o One American, one German, and one Bavarian Flag, all of the same size (one person certainly does not have to get all 3). A good standard size seems to be 3’x5’. It would be nice if the flags are rated for outdoor use.
