Speaking of snow, me and a couple of friends built a snowfort at the school parking lot:

1297003105 514 FT1630 Llw

The text above the entrance reads: "Fortress. No girls allowed".

It's pretty badass. There's an entrance at the ground level which leads to a small room inside the pile. Then there are stairs inside the pile that lead to the top some 3 meters higher. It has sentry tower too (far right in the picture), that's some two meters from the ground. I think we moved a couple of cubic meters of snow building that. cheesey

The long tube placed horizontally is the Eii-43-100 containing 0.9uc of Cs137 (beta emitter) at the time it was manufactured. Most of the Cs decays into metastable barium 137, responsible of gamma emission of aprox. 0.5MeV. I would need very tick lead to shield that completely.
The tick tube is the GL 471A used in radars.
The brown base tubes is the russian RB5 .

You can never have too many capacitors...I just got my 48 yellow capacitors from ebay today for a MMC. These are the Arcotronic 1200V 1.2uF capacitors. Cost was about 70 dollars.

Then i decided for fun to fill my desk with my older capacitors, such as my SGTC MMC.

Found this at ze scavenging yard smile

I traded it to a fellow HV enthusiast at the time...

At the time I also found:- an xbox, a PS2 Slim (aka doorstop), and two RX-80 series dot matrix printers.
Oh, and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 on the floor with bent pins but none broken (yet!)
I will have to try my syringe trick smile

EDIT:- One working dual core.

"Bother!" said my oil heater as this part went KABOOM!

It appears to be a common problem with these heaters, see fixya.com

Reckon its repairable, as it only seems to be there in case the main thermostat fails short.

I've seen similar sensors on MW ovens and other devices.

I never seen a more catastrophic failiure of those thermal cutoffs before.
at worst Ive seen it fail internally and look like nothing happened to it.

Those things are almost always nearby a magnetron in a microwave.. no shortage of those suckers.

Did anything else get damaged?
