 Tearing down a scanner for parts. 2000's.
 
-## Sharer Image Lantern
+## Sharper Image Lantern
 LED Lanterns are a recent fad. See how a PCB is cut into four columns and 
 soldered together to make the lantern light. This model failed due to the
 Potentiometer light adjustment mechanism. 2010's.
 
+## Taylor Temperature and Humidity Sensor
+Cheapest of the cheap hygrometers. Reads up to 90% RH, then gives up, and just says
+HH. What a cop out. The board is single sided, blobbed, and consumer crap. Destined
+for a landfill, no doubt.
+
+## Digiflam Flammable Gas Sensor
+Made in England Gas Sensor from the 1980's. Conformally coated board, and potted battery,
+make this difficult to repurpose. Simple 74 series logic construction. 
+7Seg displays for Gas Readout. Dial buttons for LEL configuration. 
+Designed for portable usage.

+## RKI Instruments PS2 Combustible Gas Sensor
+A simple flammable gas sensor built with a 30 foot long sensor cord to the electronics.
+This is how they manage the separation of flammable zones / divisions with this product.
+The device is not waterproof, or explosion proof. It takes 24V DC or 120V AC, and would
+be extremely light, if not for the rather large AC transformer. Heavier things are worth
+more right? No, that is a fallacy. Well built, and calibrated. Designed in such a way,
+that external sensors can most likely be plugged right into the screw terminals,
+should the original fail. Good modular design. Bigger and heavier than it should be, though.

+## Dell Rack Power Distribution
+A couple of outlets, tacked onto a server rack compatible panel. Expects 240 3 phase AC.

+## Eyoyo Mini VGA Screen
+Eyoyo yatto skimashita. Mini VGA computer screen. Built with connectors on board. 
+
+## WorkForce Flashlight
+An incandescent flashlight with a lead battery. From before the days of LEDs. Replacing the
+battery on this takes about 10 minutes more than it should, and is precarious due to plastic
+threaded screwholes, and awkward construction and battery access. Another product designed
+for a landfill.
