Most of my arcade/tech related stuff has been packed away in storage for around 10 years!
I was digging through one of the boxes last night trying to find my USB<->Serial adapter (so I can use the eprom programmer... it wasn't there!) and I found these:



I'd forgotten I even had them!

So.... what else have you lot recently re-discovered in your dragons hordes of stuff that you forgot you had?

Ummm... So ... I bought a Track and Field once, and it turned up less than two weeks later. I was confused as to the speediness of the delivery but stored it away for another rainy day project (it came from the States). Then ... like, two months after that ~ another one turned up! Puzzled AF! Couldn't work it out at all ... oddly too, both of them were pretty much identical! Turns out, I'd bought one some three months prior to that one (on eBay.com) and just completely forgotten about it

... And for anyone who asks, I've sold it on already (to those guys in Bournemouth who were going to open the arcade ~ I believe they've since sold it on too).

Other than that, YES ... all the damn time. Mainly chips ... I'll buy a batch of something when I need to replace one, and then find when I put them away that I already have xx of them. There's other stuff like that too I'm sure!

I do exactly the same... It's why I have hundreds of 74LS244 that I'll never use!
