Tantalum capacitor scrap

Even a lot of the SMD's will use the solid line and a positive sign on the capacitor. I have yet to find a tantalum capacitor that does not have a magnetic pull, so here again a magnet is a scrappers best tool.

Thanks olddude for the feedback, been waiting for a few more members to have used this buyer. Especially those of you on the east coast, before this "left coaster" does and now I think it's time for me! I like all of his pretty photos.

problem quickly solved by TR. We are putting them on our AA vendor list. mcw
