Yeah, sort of like a makerspace/hackerspace. I like seeing stuff like this getting more popular again. Most of the "tech" stuff I had when I was younger was because I would buy broken stuff and fix it myself. I had no chance in hell affording something like a PS3 brand new so I bought a "bad" one for like $50 and fixed it. I didn't even really use it to game but it was the cheapest way to get a bluray player (standalone players back then could cost $500+)

>On a drizzly Saturday morning late last month, the basement of the New Paltz United Methodist Church filled with old lamps, blunt knives, malfunctioning sound mixers and balky zippers.
About a dozen volunteers welcomed the broken goods and their owners to a worldwide movement that’s evangelizing new relationships between people and their things.
