I have many old electronic parts - how can I use them?

Pretty sure there’s a ton of guitar effects builders out there that would be happy to buy those diodes and transistors from you :smiley: These components may not be that useful for “classic” synth stuff (unlike the ICs), but if you’re into noise and distortion you can have a lot of fun with them.

(basically, any circuit with diodes in the signal path can benefit from having a big pile of diodes to play with, see e.g. the schematics here).
