[RE-wrenches] Scraping old Trace SW’s

[William Miller]

I’d offer them on e-bay. Apparently the Amish find them desirable and may
be able to repair them or use parts from an inoperative unit.

If you get the cost of shipping and crating it costs you nothing but the
effort to list and keeps them out of the waste stream.

I keep a display on the shelf if the buttons work.
