It sure is I only have about a 25% success rate. It can be very frustrating. [}

OK, Gary. That looks like machine code...but I've been away from it for too long to make sense of it...are you gonna clarify?
Bill I'm with you lost I don't work with or understand computers. I can tear them apart though. [8D]

Take a look at the link Randy posted to my last one it tells a little. Basically I take the big stuff off the board sand it down paper thin and wrap it around the tube and cast it. Simple as that.
Caution if anyone attempts this do protect yourself. As I was told there are some nasty stuff in the boards. Lead, fiberglass and who knows what else. I know I am covered in a fine dust when I sand one of these down. Oh and those little component thingys they still hold a charge cause when I am sanding I have to ground myself otherwise I get zapped with a ton of static. [:0]
Thanks for all the comments.
