    Gold balls from dip switches

    Is anyone buying these? I can't seem to find any on eBay, or on any of the seller's threads - just a bunch of posts about them being gold plated silver and that people are saving them.

    Warsaw , Ind. In the heart of the lakes, and down the street from the hotel where Al Capone stayed.

    I'll bet those are strange looking. You might test the waters and put a batch up on Ebay for sale.

    They look just like a BB pellet, but Gold. I cut one in 1/2 & it showed Silver inside.

    Normally I find them (not that often) in older 70's & industial electronics.
