Thats awesome Joachim! The problem is organization. I always knew we had
tons of stuff, but finding it is the problem. We talked about a resistor
sorting machine project at one time even. Thank you for sorting the stuff.
I once tried to sort my own giant bag of resistors and did only 25% of it
before I gave up. That takes a lot of patience.

Hello all,
I have been going through some of the electrical component inventory that
we have and sorting it(very soothing). I just want to give ya'll an idea
of some of the awesome stuff that's there for the using. It's a lot. Like
HUGE metric tons worth of stuff. So if you need parts for projects please
take a look through some of the draws and boxes of components or ask me
where something might be. That's what they are there for. For you to make
your projects awesome. All those components are getting pretty lonely
sitting in all those boxes. USE THEM PLEASE!!!
Here's some of the stuff I found today that might be useful to people:
555 timers like 100 of them and some 556 dual timer variety.spanking new.
Voltage regulators all varieties, adjustable, 3.3v, 5v, 12v, etc,
Resistors, millions of resistors, MILLIONS I TELL YOU!! All brand
Capacitors, millions of those too. Under the shelf by to the right of thesoldering station there is a whole big box with jars full of ceramic caps
in them if the ones in the little draws are not enough.
Logic IC's, AND, OR, NOR, inverter, counters, latches, tons of that kindastuff if you like.
Lots of micro controller chips like PIC16C65 and tons of other variationswith many pins or just a few pins. I also saw a bunch of ATMEL ATMEGA
marked chips.
Vacuum tubes, you know, those things with nothing inside.can style if you want to make your project retro vintage steam punk style.
Transistors of all types and sizes and such. A fair amount of the old
Some nice power MOSFETs too.
Diodes, including zener, rectifier, bridge rectifier, fast recovery,signal, oh and lots of LEDs too.
Incandescent light bulbs, mostly small and low voltage. Some neon lampsand indicators. Also a bunch of green neon lamps which are kinda cool and
rare.
Tons of sockets, plugs, headers, pins, terminal strips, serial portplugs, mitty, audio, and all kinds of stuff like that to make your own
custom cords.
Copper clad boards. To the right of the solder station against the whiteboard there is a flat box with huge about 2 foot by 1 foot double sided
copper clad boards. Make awesome printed circuit boards!!
Relays, 5 volt, 12 volt, solid state, big ones, small ones, etc.lighted ones.
Switches, lot of switches. Toggle, push button, soft ones, tactile ones,
Pots, no not drugs silly... potentiometers, multi turn, single turn, 10k,20k, trimmer, etc.
Metal and plastic nuts, bolts, and lots of standoffs and hardware.
And lot of other cool stuff for YOUR projects.
PLEASE USE THE STUFF AT THE SHOP TO MAKE COOL PROJECTS!!! That's why it's
there.
To find the stuff you need you can either look through the little draws
and boxes hidenseek style or ask me and I should be able to tell you an
approximate place of where a specific component might be located.
Also more sorting and organizing needs to be done with all the electronics
stuff. I've been working on it but there is a lot of stuff so if anyone
else is interested in helping at the shop clean to organize I'm coming down
in a bit. That corner by the solder station really needs cleaned up more.
Thank you!
Best,
-Joachim
