"wire harnesses that we clipped out of old tube consoles, amps made

Genuine vintage scrap wire, to say nothing of destroying what might
have been interesting vintage consoles.

I understand that Heathkit nut starters are going for a few bucks.

The ones I have fit two different sized nuts, the small pattern #4 and a
small pattern #6 that used to be standard for Heathkit chassis
assembly. I found (and still find) them to be extermely handy. They're
smaller in diameter than a nutdriver so they can get into a tighter
space, and they pick up brass nuts.

I don't know why I never saw a commercial over-the-counter version of
that tool. I use mine quite a bit.

No, but on this morning's Morning Edition on NPR, there was a story
about a guy named Jim Williams (not the Audio Upgrades Jim Williams)
who collects electronic "junk" and what he doesn't use in his shop,
uses for sculptures and wall decorations. The story and link to some
of his art work at

near the bottom of the page.
