Title: Amiga Battery (souvenir)
Post by: sim085 on August 29, 2009, 03:46:19 PM

Hi,

I know this sounds stupid but ... I have changed my Amiga battery with another one. However I would like to keep the old battery sort of like a souvenir. However I am afraid that as it continues leaking I'll not be able to keep it at all. Is there something I can do to it so that it does not continue leak it and therefore I can keep it.

Regards,
Sim085

I have the stub end of a 30mm shell fired from an A10's autocannon.  I feel the same way.

(Note: I sealed it in plastic)

I also have (the very likely asbestos-impregnated ) fragments of concrete from the Apollo 1 and Mercury launch pads at NASA.

Wow, what is with Amiga users and 'toxic souveniers'  I still have a bottle of mercury, I used to play with it as a kid :eek:
