Fresno Bob:
Thanks for a great source for a hard to find item... especially since Zippo has stopped putting their cheaper lighters in the nice metal tins, and gone to using wierd plastic junk boxes.

I wish people would share their tin resources more often... sadly, the coolest tins usually are incidental finds, at the thrift store down the street, etc.

Regards,

You guys and gals are welcome

I've found that after a few months of use, the finish starts to wear off of the tins, but for that price, you can always have a new one

Now how about trying to cram an amp inside a Zippo Lighter?

I plan on trying to fit a mint with two 9v's in a Zippo tin. Thanks a lot for the links.

Someone built a CMOY using SMT components. It was the size of a postage stamp

Yeah, that wouldn't be too hard (hey! You could have the flint wheel control the volume...). The real trick would do it in such a way that the lighter still works.

I don't think lighter fluid, a flint, and electronics should ever go together. Especially in something that you'll be carrying in your pocket.

That sounds like a challenge to me.
