A nice old popcorn popper. It was in good shape, and the inside was pretty clean for sitting since '83. Looks like it would work if plugged in.

The ballasts & breakers for the projectors. Still in good shape, though rusting some. This theatre IS being watched, so don't get any ideas of stealing or vandalizing items, please. Let's see it running again rather than ruined!
