I thought to post this.
It is the internal circuitry of a discontinued Burr Brown DC/DC convertor. I took the top off of one to expose the internal circuitry, die chips, SMD diodes, toroid. Such small delicate gold connecting wires. Also. That toroid is wrapped with gold wire. That is beautiful engineering achievement to me.
Surely it has some e-scrap value.

Another view of what is inside. Magnify. You can see those delicate gold wires.

This is cool to me. How many of these you have around?
On a note of humour. If a Mig-25 or other Soviet aircraft crash. I be interested in some vaccum tubes to sell to the Rock and Rollers.

Pulled this out of a baby swing/rocker that played sounds for little ones while they sleep. Did not expect to find this in there.

Those air variable caps are the one thing I can never bring myself to scrap, the machining on the vanes is just too nice for the pile. Silver on all the contacts is a nice bonus too.


Air variables have that proper old radio gear look, even when the rest of the chassis is long gone. The vanes catch the light ridiculously well in photos too.

Many small electronics have nice looking boards.
