[Boatanchors] Crystal Set - Progress

[rbethman]

All,

I've got the Galena Detector package nailed in place.  (One heck of a 
price too!)

I'll make a cardboard tube of adequate diameter.

I have more than enough #26 enamel wire on hand.

I haven't located a couple of 365pf air variables yet.  I did locate a 
920pf, BUT it is all one piece.

These are at least not crazy priced after comparing to the Galena 
Crystal Kit!

Yes, I *DO* realize prices have changed over my almost 65 years of 
life!  It is just hard to reconcile the numbers when I'm looking at a 11 
year old that may or may not use it much.  I have spoken with her 
Step-Father, and he is going to talk to her mother.  I want to find out 
*IF* she would really be interested.

If it comes down to it, I'll order the remaining parts that I can't 
scrounge.

Seems I've trimmed a whole bunch of junque.  To think that last year or 
so I even had an old SX-99 here that had a burnt transformer.  When 
things container 60/40 solder, they *must* be collected, and a run about 
every other month or so they have a "Hazardous Waste Disposal Day".

I've made at least four runs over the last two years.

Now I'm trying to scrape the barrel for bits and pieces.

Someone responded regarding the 8" SCT Telescope.  No, she has NOT had 
it out.  I'll fix that when I'm down there.

She has one surprise coming that she has absolutely NO idea about!  One 
each USB  200X portable Digital Pen Microscope w/Tripod and software 
going down with me.  The Step-Father asked me why?  I simply said that 
she can take a leaf, hold the backside to the microscope and actually 
see individual cells.

He forgets that he and I didn't get this in school until 9th grade Biology!

She is definitely into Earth and Environment!
