Stratasys Genisys xs 3d printer Rebuild
A old cartridge based 3d printer was donated to the shop in near perfect condition. only problem was that it was so out of date that the system wasn't even close to what we have today. But the frame and body was build way overkill. solid aluminum structure with a steel body and belt driven system. Also it cost $70,000 when it was first purchased 15 years ago.

Low Cost high capacity ipod
I have been refurbishing ipods for several years now, so I know for the high capacity msata mod of a ipod can get very expensive but the 500gb laptop hardrives can be found for a very affordable price.
