Is anyone aware of lists or sites dedicated to novel
uses for old hardware?

I'm trying to figure out what to do with some old working
gear that is valued practically as scrap.  e.g. old lucent/ascend
max 4002 units.  Me thinks they are 6 year old antiques.
Your six-year-old antiques might be perfectly fine production gear for operators in other parts of the world. I would be trying to find a way to ship them cheaply to South Asia or Africa (or finding some other organisation that already works in those regions who would know how to distribute it).
