Crap GadgetsWe wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.
Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

there was a certain Op Amp snobbery if I recall...of COURSE a 741 will do the job but you gotta use an LM320N for current delivery , or an NE5532 for DC offset adjustment or a Signetics OP-07 for clarity preference...
Hang on Barry, you're making a comparator circuit for a front door bell chime, why do you need an instrument grade £7 device?
Because I do.
Oh Ok. Shit, it's on A-Tray. Order from head office via mail?
Grumble.... just gimme the 741.
repeat every working day for 2 years......
