another day, another silicon valley electronics flea market!

@tubetime Any idea what the cut outs on the fans are? Apart from extra good at shredding fingers anyway @tubetime By greatly enhancing life of electronics, every cooling fan has an immense effect on reducing the world's carbon emissions! a neat old Motorola TV. notice it can receive fringe TV, presumably stuff like x files reruns @tubetime man, I tried these in the past. I boiled them for 2 hours and they were still hard as rocks... not recommended @tubetime I saw one of those in use last week to display the output from a monitoring camera inside a test chamber. @tubetime What does one do with scrap wafers that makes them worth US$3.33 and not just landfill? @EricCarroll look at them under a microscope, sometimes you'll find interesting prerelease silicon. or neat silicon artwork. you can also examine the test structures, and with the right equipment, measure transistor characteristics. @tubetime I wonder how many people used the variable front-end gain features on old TVs and radios. @tubetime is that the tv visible in The Matrix when Neo and Morpheus are in the construct? @tubetime it said butt connector uh huh huh (And I guess the chances of finding an Archer-packed SP0256 that the legs haven't corroded off are slim to none) Those individually packaged transistors and diodes sure look like the packaging should be more expensive than the component itself |
