BACKGROUND
Sustainability is the name of the game! Anything (that has been tested and still functioning properly) should be repurposed creating saving in wasted Ee and reducing the poisoning our environment when items are buried in the earth at the local tip needlessly.
Never heard of Ee? It is a concept that creates a measurement of ALL things (not just electronics) that humans have made and the energy used in obtaining the raw material, processing the materials right through to a finished product and even should include the shipping of the item to the distributors/retailers.
If you would like to know more about Ee values, please take a look HERE
This mono jack socket is new, unused, old stock.
I am in the process of clearing out all of the old stock from the workshop drawers, cabinets, boxes etc and making sure they go off to begin a new life in someone else's workshop!
