Inside stuff - what is that?  Any thoughts?

That "inside stuff" is a silicon wafer microcircuit. You will need to find an appropriate 10 pin TO can and cut the top off. Most will look similar.

Sorry to be so inquisitive here - "TO can"?

Here are some progress pics of what I have found so far.

As Promised, I went out and got a copy. had to go to 3 different video places, and ended up at frys. Here's the BEST of the screen caps:

[attachmentid=7485][attachmentid=7484]

I do have MUCH larger screen caps of these, but this should more than do it. It looks like an old style round can IC minus the head in a split heatsink. They also seem to use a couple different ones as the inner can does not go more than halfway up the inside of the can in other shots...

Any comments/suggestions?

The one in the box looks thicker than the cufflink chip.

Maybe the inside thing is a model truck rim of some sort?

you can get a better sense of scale wth this pic, I also threw some paint on the heatsink

What are you using for the base of the cufflink? IS that a cufflink already?

 

[THEWRAPOFCONS]

an old cufflink

Did this ever get made? Can we see how they turned out?

I think these were made by a member some time ago.
