Perfect, save them in a bag. I will pass on the diagram to you soon so
you can play if you want.
Thanks Sean.
Was nice to see you at the 'meeting'

Subject: [HBQRP] Regen kit parts

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.
