[time-nuts] Conducting Bench Top Material

Sat Jan 30 07:32:53 UTC 2010

I took apart the last dead one just for that purpose. I initially eyed the 105deg Al cap, but it was dead, along with one of the xstrs (hole in package). The film caps, diodes and fuse are still good too. As is the tube- don't know what I'll do with that.

I've heard you can salvage some good rectifiers and maybe a transistor or 
two from dead CF bulbs.
