All,
I'm working on my STEM outreach project, and I need some "props." These
items can be broken, as they're supposed to be passed around and examined
by elementary-school aged children.
I'm looking for the following...
Punch Cards (used, unused, scrap, etc.)
8" Floppy
Paper Tape(?)
Sextant (long shot, I know. I'm reaching out to some pilots I know.)

Where were you when my FPUIB (Free Pickup In Berkeley) crap^H^H^H^Hgoodies
included one of my boxfuls of classroom pass-arounds? (included punch
cards, aperture cards, paper tape, mag tape, 5 sizes of floppies, dead
ZIP, PCMCIA, etc.)
Sextant (long shot, I know. I'm reaching out to
some pilots I know.)
HarborFreight has a brass one for $20.29! It is a total piece of crap,
but it's SHINY!

Plus, they still have their FANCY $9.99 sundial compass
http://www.harborfreight.com/sundial-compass-96734.html
"A decorative sundial for your desk or bookshelf" [so long as sun doesn't
shine]
Quality is too poor for functionality, but close enough to working to be
able to demonstrate what they do.

I'm in Indiana, not Berkeley. :( I assume it's all in a dumpster now.
