Pass Along the Migratory Box of Electonic Junk

[imix500]

Mysterious Gold Box

It's a small nitrogen laser cartridge. Self contained (except for the PSU), sealed optics, designed to be really easy to swap out and rebuild.
I think they are mostly used in Mass Spectrometers.

Cheers!

I have the box now. I will inventory the box, and spend some time repacking and trimming down the wasted space. I also have some goodies to drop into the box. I was curious did everybody want to upgrade to the next size flat rate box?

I feel terrible.

Back in February 2010 I was sent a migratory box of electronic junk by a kind gentleman:

Then I moved house. After that... I guess I simply forgot. Fast-forward 2 1/2 years to today, and picture my shock when, unexpectedly, I uncover a migratory box of electronic junk amongst my other boxes of wires n bits n bobs. It would appear that I took and subsequently hoarded the whole box. I owe everyone an apology for that. Sorry.

It's a very nice box, too, complete with gajillions of resistors.

Can I interest anyone in a slow-moving (but once again migratory) box of electronic junk?

I want to get in on the migratory box but am a little confused as to how many boxes are out there and how I go about getting on the list. If there is still room in the box I have lots to add to it.

Put me in on that too. I'm a pack-rat W/2 much electronic equip. If its speaker,receiver parts, I got it. Let someone with enthusiasm have a break.😀

I am sitting on a box as we speak. I will re stock, and tidy it up this week.

Lets start a new list now:

I looked back and see I was the last known person to be on the list.

guys pm me with your contact info and I will send out a box.

I would be happy to have the box o junk come my way, would take a semi to move it!

Hip, You have PM

 

[ByronInPortland]

Can I ask how big/heavy it's gotten? How much to ship? Hipcheck: You said you were sitting on it. I hope you don't mean literally!

It might be convenient to have it ship to a city representative, and have other diyAUDIO people from that city have a go at it.

This most recent box was a large Priority Mail flat rate. It was pretty much maxed out last we read unless some room has been made. There was mention of upgrading to a larger box for a higher shipping cost unless we goto parcel post.

Hi, who's next on the list? I'd like to send the long-delayed box onwards!

 

[biggerrigger]

Hipcheck, Any update on the box? Who is next in line?

 

[HIPCHECK]

I had several pm's and will update a list of who gets it next, and so on.

The box had seemed really depleted when I got it.

I will post an update and will fork out for the larger box. I plan to restock it and provide some much needed order to its contents, it was stuffed and barely able to be slammed shut when I got it.

Will get mailed out this weekend, sorry for my delay!

Please add me to the MBoJ.

I've got stuff that I need to get rid of.

 

[marsupialx]

Please add me to the list. I, to, have stuff to get rid of! Thanks, marsupialx!

Is this box still floating around?

 

[dellama]

There are many boxes floating around, look here. Wouldn't this kind of sharing work out better as a swap registry? I have lots of old DIP8 chips that would probably get destroyed in a box with a bunch of other metal parts. On a side note, if there is anyone in the NY area that can do FET curve trace matching pm me. We'll split the matching sets.
