I’ve received another Great Internet Migratory Box of Electronic Junk<\/a> – this one from Chicago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It took me a little while to get this one out the door<\/a>, but it has been passed on towards greener pastures.<\/p>\n

This box contained a variety of toys, oddly enough ANOTHER US Robotics Data\/Fax Modem, a huge amphenol connector (which meant I had to include a bigger one!), a hard drive, several coax in-line amplifiers, a whole box full of random IC’s.\u00a0 A nice decade set of capacitors, a dead backup battery, some adjustable capacitors and much more electronic “stuff”<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

A Basement in Chicago TGIMBOEJ<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Quite<\/a>

Quite a Bit Fits in Such a Small Box<\/p><\/div>\n

I ended up pulling out the decade capacitor set, a set of pressure sensitive resistors, a CF card, a random 6 pin connector I run into a lot on old equipment, and last but not least an ancient PCMCIA flash card:<\/p>\n

\"Parts<\/a>

Parts Removed<\/p><\/div>\n

I ended up adding a development kit from Freescale Semiconductor, a huge capacitor, a giant amphenol connector and an old police radio that doesn’t seem to work??<\/p>\n

\"Parts<\/a>

Parts Added<\/p><\/div>\n

Additionally, I realized today this box of decade capacitors has random smilie faces drawn on them:<\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a>

Happy Capacitors<\/p><\/div>\n

At any rate, the box has been passed on to Tim and will hopefully be on it’s way to another lucky recipient shortly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
