Does anyone make and sell, an inexpensive indoor tabletop motion sensor light
controller for a lamp or light to plug into?

I'm trying to source some Hitachi photographic electrolytic capacitors.
Part number: CE62P, 1200MFD 330WV.
Physical dimensions are 35mm diameter and 63mm long. I require 12 units.

Im a bit concerned that I damaged my new tip with fluxite - I dipped it in
for 10 seconds and it came out looking a bit 'burnt'. Is flux dangerous for
the lead coated tip? Have I done damage?

I'm searching for a varistor with an insulation resistance of min. 7GOhm.
Are there varistors with this property?
Thank you in advance, Uwe.

Does anyone know what this is and if it might be worth anything? I have a
whole big box of them, packed in anti-static bags.

I suppose if no one wants them, I could always use 'em for shooting targets.

Can anyone help me source a low cost <$200 capacitance meter that works over
a number of freq.  A kit would be great.
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks

Thinking of buying a variable DC power supply to recharge an electric
scooter's sealed gel lead acid battery. However, when trying out two
models from the same manufacturer, their voltage displays aren't
consistent:

FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS NOT SPAM! THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT
WORKS!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT FOR IT TO WORK!!!!

I used to work in electronics and have several large boxes of electrolytic
caps in my lab. Does anyone still use them for anything? Is there even any
electronics still being built in this country?

I recently acquired a Tek 422 Oscilloscope with an AC supply
(016-0072-00).  The circuit board  is lacking transistors at sockets
Q653, Q654, Q634, Q633, and Q625.  I have found a downloadable manual
for the AC/DC supply but not for the plain AC that I have. (The 422

Could someone offer me some advise on purchasing a stereo microscope for SMD
work.  I have tried all of the little hand held things and it isn't working
out.  Before I make a mistake and buy something that I think is right for
the job maybe someone can point out the features to ...

Recently, I obtained a 50Mhz, dual trace oscilloscope, HP 181A without an
operating manual. Would anyone lead me to a site where I can download a
copy.
Thanks in advance

 I am looking for a DM44 for my Tektronix 465B oscilloscope. If
anyone has one for sale, or know where I might get one, I would
appreciate you letting me know.
 Thanks!

Someone I know had recently purchased a piece of computer equipment (a
flatbed scanner, I think) and discovered that it didn't work when he
plugged it into his AC power strip. To make a long story short, he
discovered that the power strip had a "reversed-polarity" (which I

This is the little sled that slides in to the bottom center position on the
Unipak 2B. I'm offering $30 shipped to start. Anyone take me up on it?
Paypal verified. Doesn't matter which cart it is, just need one because
promlink software complains when it is missing.
