Just to say thanks to all for the tips - a couple of 10µF electrolytics

Dear oh dear, when is it ever anything else other than caps or dry joints?



Only thing is what to do with it now - it's a great lump of a thing. Ebay?

Sounds like a good idea.



You think so, do you? There's one on eBay in the West Midlands (collect
only) still at *99p* for the next two and a bit days:

120494159176

Or, if you can't be asked to go yourself (or put a courier in) to collect
and want it delivered, there's one in Claremont NH for a whole 27 quid and
*only 280 quid* shipping, but be quick, there's only an hour left on it:

I got a better idea, but he'll need a length of rope with a noose in it and
he'll have to haul it up to the Thames....


:-))


Note to self: if it gets any sillier than this in here, then the plug
*must* be pulled - it's a *terrible waste* of one's lifespan...
