 		Thanks, Steve. The place has special meaning to me as it was built by my father and grandfather quite some time ago. It is located on the border between Austria and Slovenia, the shot shows a pretty good sized chunk of Slovenia.

 		Gotta love long weekends at a friends cottage.

 		Good luck, or perseverance?

On a scheduled junk yard check-up, I scored big.
A trunk full of Cornell Dubilier 2800uF, 450V electrolytics. 135 of them @ 1USD a piece. smile

It is a general recycling yard. They take all kinds of junk, but mainly industrial scrap, like swarf, cutoffs, leftovers, you name it. I get all my copper here. But I also get great inspiration from seeing how many things are put together, here.
This was from big computer backup supplies.

I was lucky to get these, because normally, when electronics enter their system, it is registered as hazmat.
But I don´t just walk the walk, I also talk the talk, so *they* let me have them. smile

Hey Finn - we must visit the same yard (sort of) - I have a shed load of these - banks of 500V 2200uF RIFA PEH 169-series caps... Fully populated there are 12 in a bank, i.e. 3300 J per bank, and there are a lot of them... (not counted)

Something made from these will be at Cambridge...

 		For some reason the photo didn't load last time - so here we are with Patagonia in 1988 - no one else in 500,000 hectares of national park. Two day drive down dirt tracks to get there - car was trashed - Nikon FM with Pro Ektachrome 400, scanned by Nikon Coolscan LS50 (at 2400dpi I think).

 		Here's my NOT SO COOL PIC.

Some of you know, and NOW I know, how rare this meter is. It's out of production and there are no parts for it.

This is a pic of a perfectly good meter AFTER being shipped by USPS (correction ). The meter is now worthless.
