A Look In The Vault
🕑 Added 2020-04-27 22:57:05 +0000 UTCPhilly is still in lockdown but I had to go to the Vault to check on stuff that is in sealed bins and make changes to vent items in storage. I also take some time to root through the bins and take a look at some treasure. Enjoy!

Fran have you thought about setting up some form of foundation to protect all these treasures ? You could put all your ongoing storage expenses into it. I would be horrified to see all this go to auction by the pound one day... I am already worried by the future of my 3D printers and multimeters...

14:48 I believe that the UV causes more cross-linking of the polymers and so the outer layers shrink like heat-shrink tubing. Not much chance of compressing the insides so it just splits.
Sad day when the Rat Shacks closed in our neighborhood, but you sure did your due diligence scouring for parts!

Wish we had smell-o-vision. Loved the old electronics smell (aside from stinky out-gassing). Down-sizing after retirement was rough but in many ways, I'm happier without it all now.
And we have a winner in the coolest stuff ever competition! 👍

That box of meters had my heart skip. Would love to own those Weston meters-and ... NOT for teardown!!

I see wonderful things!
Ever think about inventorying your stash like Playthings of the Past? You could be your own hamfest!
I wonder if you could drill a small vent hole into each lid?

Great treasure trove of parts! This is terrific stuff.
60 degrees? I can't imagine much plasticizer venting at that temperature...
Your storage locker has way cooler stuff than mine and is WAY more organized

Thanks for the tour! So much cool stuff... Love the old radios; beautiful. Cheers!
Absolute goldmine! Full of treasure :)
