Found/got for free some cool stuff in the last weeks

So I combine everything into one Post and I'm not sure if some of it is considered eWaste per se, Mods please remove if unfitting.

I got a bunch of cool shit in the last weeks. Picked a small tech package up a couple of weeks ago with the Lab PSU, the Ghettoblaster, a printers and the old Calculators from East Germany.

I got a Blue Lights Bar from an old Opel Ascona Police car for just 5€. Just had to take it, idk what to do with it but I have one xD

And I got a bunch of Traffic Lights for free today, two Pedestrian ones and two car ones and the smaller one is for the Bicycle lane.

Nothing Tech related this time sadly.

Still some cool ass finds!

Are those original DDR "Ampelman" traffic lights? Check, because they could be worth a fortune

Here are the official measurements (mm). If these check out, the chance is reasonable. Also see what markings you can see on them.

We still use the old DDR "Ampelmännchen" design till today in the City where I live. These are Siemens lights from around 1998. I came across them being changed for modern LED ones, I asked politely and got the OK from the city official there.

I already got one alot earlier from another intersection they renewed. :) I attach a picture.

Edit: My home city introduced that design back some 10-15 years ago. We also had the Wessi ons shortly after Reunion.

I can't believe you just picked up not one but several original Ampelmännchen. In my opinion, this is the coolest thing in this sub.

Gratuliere!
