NEW in the Dragonfly Gallery....
Projects you can make using the parts from ordinary compact flourescent light bulbs !
When that compact flourescent light bulb of yours burns out, don't throw it away...salvage it ! Compact flourescent bulbs containg transistors, film caps, diodes, resistors, and even a little transformer inside them. These parts can be the basis for a bunch of really cool projects like fuzzes, boosters, and buffers. Not only can you get great tone....you can feel good about recycling as well !
(NOTE: Be careful not to break the bulb itself when doing this !)
