Miscellaneous

       I have collected/built a few interesting items over the years. First item is a piston from an Evolution series locomotive.

It weighs in at 135 lbs. Its amazing that there are 16 of these moving 18 times a second inside the engine. I also have the end cap for it.  It’ll be painted up nicely and I’m going to hang it on the wall of my garage some day.

 I built this one night mostly out of boredom. Its rather crude, but its not too bad for being whipped up in a couple of hours. The speakers i used came from several pairs of old computer speakers. I’m running it off an old car CD player in the garage.

My Oscilloscopes. These were purchased from GE salvage for a whopping $0.25 / lb. The top one is a basic analog scope. Its not the greatest, but it works and only cost ~$6.00. The bottom scope is a pretty sweet digital storage scope, these still sell for ~$300.00 on ebay, I got mine for $5.75. I also picked up a monstrous tek 7800-series scope for another $12.00.
