I know there are charities here that come and pick up unwanted goods. I'm sure there are similar services there. It might be worth the kid's while to contact one of those groups and donate the items before the purchaser of the house takes over. That way they help someone in need instead of taking up space at the dump.
I just acquired a 401A a short while ago and am very impressed with it. If you don't have the owner's manual I highly recommend that you get one and read it. These machines are capable of a lot if you know how to set them up.
