If you can't find them, this is where they're all going!  ;D

Side note: Off to the right side... little fishing tackle boxes make really nice little organizers for resistors/capacitors/ICs/other little components.

aha! you snatched those philco's up from that guy on ebay didnt you? what are you going to do with those "notabilty" keys? ive noticed that the membrane keys on those can be easily damaged. i wouldnt recommend bending them(physically bending the membrane). the tracings break apart very easily and cant be repaired... hey, i have the same multi tester. that hfe tester comes in useful sometimes.
would you ever consider trading sa 2,5,8s for hing hons? ive got a bunch.

I haven't dealt with any damaged membranes with over 15+ fully built, but GOD YES I have dealt with the shoddy tracings (the whole thing is shoddily put together..) due to the innards being composed of multiple circuit boards hot glued together and soldered ACROSS THE BOARDS... when bent the wrong way the trace breaks and blerp, this key does not work anymore. I have salvaged a few non working keys before with some difficulty though... but now I always re-solder some spots and hot glue things into place before actually beginning to put the thing together to ensure no future problems.

Circuitbenders, you've certainly 1up'd me, even without the picture... post that if you find it ;)

Hmmm... I'm guessing you're single then? :D
So many questions... so little time!
