Hey, I have a few components I thought were worth sharing and getting some comments on....
#1, this guy, what exactly is he? Is it a coil of some kind? It looks on the photo like it is wound, but thats just in the plastic, the inside is smooth silver, it has "2C" on the side, thats it. It came out of an old tape deck.

#2 These are in an old desktop calculator. They are pretty cool looking. Are they good for anything? Is there a name for them?

#3 These are the weirdest switches I have seen yet. Also from the calculator. The picture dosn't show them too well, but there are two metal contacts in the glass tubes that touch when the buttons are pressed down. It appears the buttons have magnets on them that close the contacts. Is there a name for these?
