Especially when the plugs keep falling out and now you have a pile of IC's in the bottom of the box. So far I have found a couple of pounds of epoxy coated Tantalum caps.

And wouldn't you know the first box of IC tubes I went through I found two tubes of gold capped w/gold legs ceramic IC's. Hundreds of tubes later, they were still the only ones I had.

I believe it safe to say that I'll know more than I ever wanted to about these components by the time I get done selling or trying to sell them on
Ebay. Can I interest anyone in a bag of 11,800 1.2 ohm, 1/4 w resistors? Got to get back to listing. Free listing event expires at midnight tonight.
Look on the bright side, you're now like me lol with hundreds of different components to sell. IF you need help id'ing stuff, post it here and one of us will help.
