As I was thermocoupling a diode panel in an Electronics lab, I got to talking with the tech person about old electronics equipment (I'm looking for a used oscilloscope). She said that there is a "junk room" downstairs. After we figure out that the powersupply doesnt have enough voltage for the diodes (plenty of current though, it's actually rated in kiloamps, I only needed 1/2 kiloamp for my diode tests). I ask if she can show me this "Junk room"
She does, and its just shelves chock full of goodies. most of the stuff is probably broken, but there is still some good stuff....
Here's what I found:
A stack of double-sided copper clad boards 8"x11"x(1/8)" (probably 50-100 of them :shock: )
A huge assortment of oil filled caps
Many different brands of In Circuit Emulators. (what exactly are these used for?) mostly for intel brand processors (8051,8086)
A bunch of other test equipment, resisors in reels, HUGE diodes (2" in diameter)....thats about all I remember.
The reason why I say it is heaven is because I can purchase this stuff (hopefully, if it isnt needed any more) for $0.10 a lb!
I think I may go into buisness on ebay.
