The time has come for me to seek out old  or broken mechanical/electronic things for my son to dismantle.  He is 11 and walks around with his Leatherman ready to dismantle anything not off limits. If you have a blender, computer, VCR, or anything else that can be ripped apart on a kitchen table, please let me know, and I will pick it up.  I thank you.  The future of engineering thanks you.
