Really great.
For me.
I\'ve been cleaning out the store-room (aka: The garage). Look at what I
found:

My very first power transistor (if you don\'t count the AC128 that came
with my Philips Electronic Engineer kit). The mighty 2N301. It was given
to me by the brother of a mate (who probably pinched it from PMG, where
he worked) sometime around 1965. I used it in a number of projects and I
just checked it on the meter. Damned thing still works. HFE - 77.
Leakage 1.8ma.
Anyway, I\'m about 1/3rd of the way through the cleanup. Roll on next
weekend. I wonder what treasures I will find.
I did find some honkin\' big AlNiCo magnets, salvaged from a monster
computer hard drive and some others from a Japanese 1960s vintage
medical chart recorder. I was hopeful that AlNiCo might be worth something.

The last two from a Winchester drive. HUGE throw. Around 80mm. Might
make a good subwoofer motor.
