[vcf-midatlantic] Slightly OT: IBM 3090 Lift tool free to good home

[Jeff Galinat]

Hi All,
   I am in the process of a long overdue purge of unneeded stuff from my 
garage so I wanted to offer an item free to the VCF-Mid Atlantic 
collection or any member that would like it.  It it an IBM 3090 lift 
tool.  It was designed to assist CE personnel with removing & installing 
heavy power supplies at higher points in the machine to minimize a 
chance of back injury.  It has a hand cranked lift table that raises & 
lowers via a steel cable and has a wheel brake to prevent the whole 
assembly from rolling.  It raises above waist high.  I realize that this 
it not "vintage" but it may assist someone in installing heavy equipment 
in racks or frames so I wanted to offer it before it gets scrapped.  One 
important note, it is not a hand truck and the frame will crack if 
typical hand truck leverage is applied but used for it's intended 
purpose it works as expected. While I was not planning on attending 
Festivus, I can deliver it on Saturday if VCF-Mid Atlantic or any 
attendee would like it.  The Lift tool is currently located in Morris 
county in Northen NJ . Please see the link below for pictures of the item.
