Yesterday was interesting, 1st time I bought something from true electronics recyclers in town (their building is mere feet from a metal recycling yard, so I think I can guess what their business model is). An old dual-WAN router for a whopping $12.50 to test out my dual ISP idea. It's a bit of a relic though, only 10/100 on the WAN side, and uses proprietary software to configure.
Today I finally got my hands on what I've been looking for, just about the smallest and lightest bat that meets Little League Minor specs, a 27" 16oz stick for my daughter, who started dropping her hands moving up to the heavier bats of her LL age group. If there was something I could buy that would make her practice, I would buy that too

Better to buy a newish model, if not new, in India there are many choices in the 90-150 GBP range from many makers.
The new phones are with bigger batteries, and the ability to zoom fonts, which is useful.
I sold an old Lenovo phone for 8 GBP, it was from 2014, Android 5 or 6.
A few months back got a Samsung M12 for my father, 100 GBP, 4/64 GB model.

Almost impossible to buy 18650 batteries in Australia now. Ebay rules that they must be sold with a device that uses them. This is government interference, the claimed reason is that it's a safety issue (early versions can catch fire under obscure circumstances) but the real reason is suppression of vaping, which comes from the medical industry courtesy of an edict from the AMA. Fscking social engineering.
20 bucks for both...bough them both because one box had only one INA110...8x 100k liniar multiturn Bourns pots, 16 X high quality switches, 6× INA102, 2X INA110, 2 x lm337/317 regs...Perfect phono preamp boxes.
No probes...

I bought parts for a 30 mA / 300 mA analog current meter to be used with tubes (in my case). The 30mA meter is from AliExpress. I choose analog because it’s easier to see changes when making adjustments.
First I had to add a 100 Ohm resistor across the meter to get an exact reading of 30mA. The meter itself is approx. 2.5 Ohm.
For a reading of 300mA I used approx. 1 metre of wire and a resistor of 0.15 Ohm in series across the meter (with the switch).
Tomorrow I will build a second one identical to this one. You can never have enough measurement tools!

Nice.
FYI: This 100mA meter is a directly in series Ammeter . Easier to work with for me.

There's also a 500mA version: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/173197866582

A DMM works just as good. I once bought a NOS "digilog" DMM for that but it still is new in box for over 20 years
That having said...I still like analog instruments better over displays but only true NOS/NIB instruments so very sturdy aircraft meters and such.
