Todd Arnold (Real Space Junk)
Sorting a truckload of JPL NASA surplus — early space ICs, teardowns, and 'what is this?'
Todd Arnold inherited access to a truckload of NASA surplus from the JPL campus — a friend’s father traded watch parts for it in the 1970s — and the channel is the ongoing sort: early transistors and ICs that flew in space, an AMD AM9511 floating-point unit teardown and die view, seven-segment displays up close, and endless “What is this?” components. He’s candid that he’s no expert, leaning on the community to identify things. 15.2K subscribers, uploads every few months (last about two months ago).
