Modest take—
Not too much...took back one of the underside guides I now need— one stem and the clips I took because I could not fit them back in after stuffing it full again.
Ready to send!

Thank you all.
My take:
It’s like you all know me, I took a lot of stuff but put back as much as I could fit in the box and then added a whole lot of small parts in the voids between them. There is plenty of goodies to be had including many high end, exotic, and rare, all of it useful to someone.
The box is ready to ship to the next player and weighs in at 34.6 LBS. Bellow is a picture of parts I set aside to include but could not fit into the box to give an idea of what did make the cut.

It is time once again to ask for volunteers to step up and join in the Box O' Crap fun. The box needs to keep going and it is time for new folks to play. Join us all for the "box" to keep moving along. Smiles, MH

Well Folks,
It appears the Box O' Crap has finally stalled in series eight. We have had no volunteers for a few weeks and Our fearless Crapmaster has not been sighted for a while. I am thinking about putting the "Box" in frozen storage here until a new CrapMaster can be found. The valued friends here in the world of Crap have stepped up as best they could and kept the box moving for quite some time now. But I am afraid we need a new CrapMaster at this point in time to keep the fun moving. I would respectfully request that the "Box" be sent to me until a new CrapMaster can be found. Let us all hope to see white smoke from the stacks soon. Smiles, MH
Bump for volunteers to play or new CrapMaster to step forward.

Pictures of crap parts living on…
Who ever packed the Maillard front hub thank you, I built it into a wheel using Araya rims from an old hybrid and it complements my Sachs/ Huret Eco drive train pretty well. The hub was respaced to 96 mm and lost the retainer tabs.

I contributed a front hub with some retainer tabs, though I don't remember if it was a Maillard. If it was, it was probably from either 1981 or 1979 or thereabouts. And I'm pretty sure the one I gave was dirtier than what you're showing. If that Maillard is from that era and you did put some elbow grease into the shine...it's probably mine and I'm super happy to see it built into a wheel and rolling down the road again!

Nobody wants to step up to be the new Crapmaster? Its fun, its excitement, you make crappy friends, and you get to be the all mighty! Who would not want that?

With the game seemingly dying out, perhaps some motivation would help. The game goes well when we have a non-burned out Crapmaster pimping the thread and keeping it on Page 1.
Perhaps it's time for me to share the letter I left in the Oval Office desk drawer for my successor several years ago.
Office of the Crapmaster
TARDIS, Universe
It is with great relief that I bequeath unto you the official title of Crapmaster, BFCV. As per tradition, I include this personal note to help guide you on your journey.
Just as the only reason the Wizard of Oz had absolutely pure and full authority to lay down the law was because the Munchkins believed he was Great and Powerful, C&Ver’s must believe that you are so. It is acceptable to ask for help in making rulings when things go sideways, but a quick, firm, and unequivocal statement helps keep things in line, even if you’re unsure yourself. It is also wise to have your minions do the dirty work for you, such as calling out those that don’t publish pictures, or bogart the box.
Bottom line, you own the game. It doesn’t matter what past Crapmasters have done, you have the power to change things. I know you’ll keep what’s working. Be you. Continue from the past if you feel comfortable. If anything rubs the wrong way, feel free to change it.
You cannot make grammatical or spelling errors, those that say you did are wrong. If you inadvertently put in a past date for something that is yet to happen and get called out for it, remind those that call you out that the Great and Powerful Crapmaster has an efficient TARDIS at your disposal, even if in reality it’s a 1984 Ford Taurus with 200,000 miles on it. It’s not important that the Taurus didn’t exist before 1986, you are the Great and Powerful...you get my drift.
Go forth and lead your minions in spreading their crap and cat toys throughout the contiguous United States of America. As I stated in my very first post when Drillium Dude was herding the cats, “This sounds like a very stupid game. Sign me up.” When in doubt, fake it until you make it.
Hoping some power hungry BF C&Ver will see this and decide that they're ready to step up and lead us to the promised land of crap.

Very inspiring. I will need to be retired to take on such a momentous and somber post of power. I also need to divest myself of my humility...

Mad Honk is already leading so... Start series nine with new thread with Mad Honk at the helm. First post list of crapsters is an important part of the game. Just my humble crappy opinion.

Gugie,
As much as it pains me to yet take on another duty after retiring from multiple years in a University setting, and finding myself quite comfortable being such. I will at your urging attempt to be a new Crap Master. I have very low skills at using my confuser but I will do my best to herd the cats that the Box O' Crap attract. I would ask that you contact me by phone to ascertain what I will need to do to be a Crap Master. If I can do it, I will do my best to keep the BOC moving. Thanks, MH 812-336-3283

Gran Compe levers.
Late to the game here but I wanted to say thank you to whomever contributed the Gran Compe Levers. I really like them paired with Dia Compe 750s and they look great.
The incorrectly installed second hand bar tape is a stop gap, once I’m sure I like the setup the plan is shellacked cloth tape and lever hoods. Looking forward to BOC Series Nine.
