  3. Hi Raphael,

    Thanks for participating but please use the email shown and don’t post any hints.


  4. I like the prize. My brother is getting started in electronics and is always drinking coffee. This would be perfect for him!
    I used to have one of the items we’re guessing on (different model though). They’re hard to find these days.


  5. sweet prize!


  6. The mug would be neat if they didn’t pimp their website all over it. A cheat sheet is pretty useful for those resistors we don’t use that often. It’s a pricey cheat sheet at $13.75 though!
