[NJARC] "Hands-On" Science at the Museum

[john ruccolo]

Hi Ray,

I'm not sure if shocking kids with High Voltage is
very kid friendly. ;-)

Seriously, I have a couple of vacuum pumps that you're
welcome to. I was using them to build my own 6L6GC's
and 300B's for a while. Yeah....right.

I probably have some of the other stuff on the
list....I'll dig around.

We've all passed up about a ZILLION old 5-inch low
bandwidth scopes (mostly Eico and Heathkit, plus some
others). I'm glad somebody *finally* found a use for
them -- besides taking the tubes out!
