Between my job, family, and other responsibilities, I'm working as efficiently as I can to get some extra stories up here. I'm also going through items I have for sale for the electronics hobbyist and collector. I want to thank all of those that's visited so far. Meanwhile, if you are a serious collector or hobbyist, feel free to ask for something. If I have the item, we can try to make a deal. I will continue to post what I can, when I can, to my online store. I'm still working up the categories, so expect them to increase.
