My neighbor was goin through stuff and I guess he saw me workin on my car and gave me all this stuff since he wasn't using it. Not sure what all of it is though..

[nutxo]

pfft. I thought the removal tools were cool as hell. What are the square things for?

[ajaye]

The black squares in the bottom pic? Those are integrated circuit chips. You'll have to check them to see what they are exactly, typically the opamps in newer amplifiers are integrated chips vs older high end stuff using discrete components to accomplish the same thing.

it has been a while since i have seen one, but those "chips" look like they could be rnets, yeah?

[ttocs]

maybe your talking about the dip switches with the lines on them? They are just really small switches that you can flip with a pen to do circuit board builds.

meh. Free removal tools and connectors. WOOT

Depending on how old some of those components are, they could be potentially hard to come by.
Ive come across multiple transistors, FETs, and rectifiers needed to repair several OS amps that simply could not be found and have been long out of production.
You would have to take the time & research the part numbers a little bit to see if any were potential "gold" (relatively speaking of course), but you never know until you try.

maybe later I got to use some of the removal tools the other day. Handy to have around.
