Pssst, I have to whisper this: size doesn't matter, it's what you do with it that counts!

Looks pretty well organized to me as is: what is the problem?first bench to do is the easy one

then the harder one

I darnt take a pic of the third!
Then around 450 reels of smd stuff, after that everything else!!

Wow that's brilliant! Makes me wish I lived in SA!There's no easy way, u need to just sort a little a day. It will get down if u commit to 30min per day.
Finally give things away. I started a concept for SA makers/electronics hobbiests called **broken link removed** because I just had too much components that I would never use.
I dont mind giving stuff away to people to help them, but as a hoarder the thought of giving everything way...................... I am a 'it might come in handy one day person'.
Some I will sell cheap, maybe make kits and for stuff like the caps for nikolai he can have free. I found 45 FPGA's but they are not on boards, first job get tidy, get organized then decide what I dont need and take it from there. Urgent bench space needed for a sick Oscope thats needs some TLC, if anyone knows of a pretty nurse good with a soldering iron.............. (I am renting not BUYING!)
Its my little gould scope that smokes when turned on, I havnt got around to sorting it yet. its not a great scope but its small and portable, so if I can I would like to save it as its handy to carry about.What scope and how unwell?
These are new old stock never used before, I found them in anti static trays, started my clear outI didn't know until I checked just now that you could re-program FPGA's. Any idea what you might use them for? Be interesting to see a project with one in it, develop.
Oscope - name of a program which uses your PC's sound card as an (audio) oscilloscope!
Renting/buying - have you considered hire purchase?

Gould 400
Deep joy! why couldnt you just of said it was PSU smoothing cap!! Why did you have to go and make a happy kid cry???If it is like the Gould scope I had, the smoke will be coming from the EHT generator. If that is the case, there seems to be a design flaw in that high voltage components and the terminals are simply too close together. I dismantled the inverter and completely rebuilt it. I also had to replace a 1 nF 15Kv capacitor which was arcing badly. After that, the inverter was fine. It was a sine wave resonant Royer type running at around 10Khz. I think the EHT was 12KV to 15KV, with around -1.5KV on the cathode of the tube. This allowed the X & Y plates to be driven directly by long-tailed pairs with an average voltage of about 30V.
