Regarding salvage parts for future regen kits:
I've gone through my collection of pill bottles and I've got exactly
sixty of one particular type. They're almost exactly one inch in
diameter at the base and about an eighth of an inch thicker at the cap
end, with an overall height of about 2.75". There are two cap styles,
one snap on and one locking, but I don't think that will matter much.
Some have dust within, and need to be cleaned, but I can get that done.
I also have two different gauges of red enamelled wire. After mic'ing
them it seems they don't fall precisely to a gauge, but are about 20ga
and 25ga. I'm guessing I've got at least 80' of the thin stuff and at
least twice as much of the thicker stuff. I haven't tested it yet to see
if the enamel can be soldered through like some, but I'm pretty sure
it'll need scraping given it's old application being somewhat heat
sensitive.
I've included a picture for reference, although I suppose it's sort of
redundant. :)
If any of this is needed it's free for the taking. I'm willing to help
build prototypes, kit out lengths, and scrape ends as required. Just let
me know.
