I don't know about the reusable part, but I can vouch for the pain part if you shock yourself.

I still have a scar on my thumb, and that was about 3 months ago.

Hmm, I was planning on using camera caps for a coilgun I'm designing.

Not because I'm cheap (but if it's free... :P), but because camera caps are very good for coilguns, and it's often hard to get equivalents new.

for real guys.. just go to a place that says like 1 hour photo or whatever.. walk in.. look nice... and say Can you donate me some of your disposable cameras.. they will say we recycle them.. you say can i have some cause i teach people how to solder with the old boards or you build rocket launch systems, or science projects.. and they usually give in.. I have done this at ritz camera last month.. and the treasure above came from target dept store today.. they usually will give them to you.. flirt if you have too.. lol. this is free goodies my man.

It's annoying finding unmarked capacitors.

You know it's probably 330v but you can't tell for sure its capacitance.


By the way, was the kodak board thing I posted any help?

omfg. You are one lucky man. yes indeed. I should go to Target and ask for some. then I wouldn't have to buy my cameras just for the circuits.

Thanks for the tip :)

Okay today i am going to attempt to get a similar box o gold so i can finally make that huge coilgun Ive always wanted to make but not had the money top go out and buy 20 disposible cameras.
This is a great find

Heads up on the Polaroid circuit board. The Funshooter comes with a few different boards. And the one you have is not the good one. They fry real easy. Adding any more batteries to that board and the components burn. Silverdooty removed them from his camera post and was in the process of updating it to show the better of the boards when he passed away. Don't waste your time with that board. :(
Just steal the cap off from it.

I got my mum to go ask for some in Boots and Lloyds Pharmacy, but the bastards said it was a health risk. It took her an arm and a leg and an hour of negotiating to get...four.
