Oh yes, that would be awesome. I found a very good price for shipping from USPS (First-Class Package International Service™) which costs $16 which is a steal.

Hey Dreadnought pm me your mailing address and I will go to my post office Monday and send you both of these, they are new I just don't need them so by sending you both chances are better you will get at least 1 intact lol

But seriously I will tape them in cardboard and put in an envelope, they should be ok.

Hey Dreadnought I mailed those driver to you this morning and the post lady said it could take up to 10 days, I went with a cushioned mailer/envelope and the lowest rate so there's no tracking number she said.
I have bought stuff from all over the world, but this is the first thing I think I ever sent to the United Kingdom, but apparently it's no big deal, heck it shouldn't be the way things move all around the world every day. p.s. Don't worry about the 4 bucks, it's no big deal at all, I just posted the check because it's my first mailing to UK and want to see how long it takes to get there. :)

It should come pretty quick. Royal Mail are very fast with mail and I live near the distribution centre for my area.

I'll be looking forward to the driver and thank you for your generosity!

Hello everyone. Hak let me know that I won the diode. I, like everyone else, like winning things which is why I throw a buck away when Powerball is over $500K! Winning something without having to bet a buck is even better. However, I really cannot accept it. It should go to someone who cannot afford to purchase it. So, I have communicated this to Hak and he is going to pick another number. I hope whoever wins it also has an interest in science perhaps having or looking to have a scientifically based career. There is a reason I am saying this.

I joined the forum for a number of reasons one of which is to build a unique laser to use as a promotional device to give to donors who make large contributions to projects I have created to promote my grandfather's legacy. I suspect some of you read science fiction. If you have then you have heard of or seen the Hugo Award. Hugo Gernsback was my grandfather. He was not just the Father of Science Fiction but an inventor, sear, promoter of science and amateur radio, colleague and friend of Tesla, Marconi, Sarnoff, Deforest, (inventor of the vacuum tube,) Goddard, and Edison among others.

What people do not know is that my grandfather saw the promotion of science as a way to obtain world peace through the benefits that technology can offer us.

Having all of his magazines digitized and placed on a dedicated site, keeping it in perpetuity, creating a memorial society, and making a documentary will cost money. So, I was thinking about creating a unique Gernsback laser which could be given as a token gift to donors who make substantial contributions. My initial idea was to design the host in the shape of the Hugo Award itself. (If you are curious just Google “Hugo Award specifications.) Anyone who is interested in the project or can offer me any advice…please PM me. The NY Tesla Memorial Society was instrumental in making Tesla better known to the public, in fact so much so that there are several movies/documentary/docudramas/biopics in the making at the moment. This is why I am creating a society. There is no age restriction. The only real requirement is an interest in science. They don't teach much about memorial society creation in medical school so I am looking for help to put his together. While there will be some membership fee for joining to support the efforts of the project, anyone from the Forum who is interested is welcome to join/participate without making a donation although I won't stop you from doing so. :bowdown: (I have no personal financial interest in these projects. My only interest it to better define and promote my grandfather's legacy. I am relatively retired so I am able to dedicate my time.)

FYI, back in May, an exhibit dedicated to the correspondence between my grandfather and Tesla during the publication of Tesla'sMy Inventions
in The Electrical Experimenter. I provided images and other information used in the exhibit. I have attached some material from it.

Image 32s shows a page of what My Inventions looked like from the original Electrical Experimenter in 1919. Image 31s show (right panel,) a picture of Wardenclyffe Tower as depicted in the My Inventions article published in The Electrical Experimenter. My Inventions was actually serialized over a period of months beginning in February, 1919. You can actually read the original here: The Electrical Experimenter, February, 1919 FYI, my grandfather had an artist, Frank R. Paul, whose artwork is embedded in my brain since childhood. Paul was able to bring my grandfather's futuristic ideas to life. It is Paul's artwork you see in the magazine.
