I never did like the egg cartons because too difficult to remove parts at times. I leave the parts in the bage or put parts in plastic boxes with the divisions.

I would think that the foam ones are dangerous. There is a 'crackly' feel to them sometimes! I pick up metal muffin tins at yard sales, usually for $0.25 or so. Then I connect them to ground through a 1 megohm resistor. I also have a metal yard(meter)-stick attached to the front of my workbench which is similarly grounded, a wrist strap and an anti-static mat. All of these items are connected to a common ground, through resistors. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
