Hi Folks,

I'm still clearing out my late-Father's electronics workshop. I've sorted a lot of stuff and now there are a few things that I'm not sure what to do with. Before it goes into e-waste/recycling I thought I'd post here and see if anyone's interested.

First cab off the rank are some boxes of old capacitors - most are (I think) mica and waxed paper. I realise that these are usually replaced when people are restoring old gear. Here's a picture:

If anyone's is interested let me know. I'll be getting rid of these later in the week if there's no interest.

Cheers,

Chris
