Does anyone know if Dave is overloaded with packages waiting to be "taken apart" for the Video Blog. I have an electronics device I want to send him.

Wrap it up in pink paper with 'hello kitty' labels attached, should get his attention.

Why don't you ask him directly ?

David.

Ah I see - he likes pretty things - soft things? It's OK for a man to feel pretty sometimes.

Don't forget a set of 7 segment displays and a back counter using logic gates, they will surely appreciate your skills.

Yes, I have about a dozen, many of which (as I know what they are) could have their own separate video.
But send any, just don't expect me to get around to it any time soon!

Will do. I have all the time in the world to wait for the tear down.

How about a machine that is it's own package and opens itself? That might be worth a video. No sudden moves though. The thing would be creepy enough without.

Package sent - teaser pic attached!

Is that a walkie-talkie or what?

looks a little like a Satphone

Pocket spectrum analyzer or GPS? The antenna looks like a full-wave antenna in the 900MHz-2.4GHz range to me.

lemmegraphdat · « **Reply #15 on:** April 13, 2013, 01:38:25 am »

Part of a telemetry system?

No sir.

Is it a hello kitty lollipop with extra sturdy stick and convenient velcro packaging?

pickle9000 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 13, 2013, 01:58:30 am »

Some sort of sniffer? Gas detector?

Good guesses, but no ...

Eventually someone will guess it if we keep going. The post office said it would take a week to get down under (I don't believe them), but Dave said he's already got a backlog. I don't want to spoil it for everyone.

It''s even easier than that with Dave... just stamp a "Made in Germany" label on the box

I believe it is a fruit quality tester... here you see it being used on an Orange.

The black thingy on top is forcefully thrust into the fruit, i.e. impaled upon it, and the meter will give a quality reading.
Don't buy the fruit if it's below 50 FruityHertz.

If you ever go to the supermarket and see large holes in the fruits, then you know someone has been testing the fruit there.

On this particular orange, someone painted a XYZ coordinate system, probably they didn't know which way was up so they needed some help. You must always orient the fruit tester correctly, or the readings will be off.

I'm sure Dave will be happy to receive it from you, and after the teardown will always enjoy better fruit.

I have a slightly used Worldspace receiver that Will be coming to parts sometime soon, as the RF end is dead.
