Macro of some 'old school' electronics, meaning pre-surface mounted devices and computer chips. Circuit board from an old battery backup emergency light.
the camera can't handle the bright display with a dim room but after a day or so, I turned the display red.
Please note that a new hardware version of this device has been released, therefore these images will most likely not apply to it.
This old calculator was sitting in an empty office. We cleaned it up a bit and gave it the smoke test. It still works. In its day, it was a real handy item. Here, showing the square root of two.

The board on the left is an 8 bit LED output port state indicator and also 8 switches to an 8 bit input port. On the right is a 2 line by 20 character LCD display. These can be connected to the Z80 computer to expand its capabilities.
We've had a few cold days and my car wouldn't start anymore. It did a few 'wup wup wup-s' and that was it.
Today I tracked down my radio to be the culprit. When I measured it today I determined it to have a standby consumption of 1.44W (120mA). And that sucks the battery dry in about 10 days.
Something must have broken, as it didn't do that before. I couldn't find any obvious things like blown caps. The main amplifier gets a bit warm without any load attached and there is absolutely no signal reception anymore...
DOH!
All of a sudden the Radio Shack IC drawer has more than just Op Amps! It has a bunch of useful Parallax packages including (once I pulled away the coming soon sign), this Ultrasonic Rangefinder.
This is the encoder of a 12v DC motor. This particular encoder has 3 wires, not including the two wires used for the motor. I'd really like to know more about the encoder as these are nice motors!
D'you guys have any idea?

Canon IXUS 105 compact camera, purchased from Broadway, Paterson Street in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
As always the display price is the price you pay, but they will always throw in some goodies if you ask. I got:
Sandisk SDHC 8GB UltraII / Canon softcase / screen protector / spray cleaner and of all things from an electronics shop a small Adidas hand towel!
Hong Kong never ceases to amaze me!
I also purchased a Canon-copy SIDO NB-6L spare batttery.
Be warned though, the instructions are only in Chinese, I asked for English ones but they said I would need to download them,.
The warranty is only valid for Hong Kong and mainland China return to shop.
Still a very handy camera when the DSLR's are just too bulky.
