Beauty of anything. Is subjective. You personally like it. That's you. Others sometimes can not appreciate what you do. I am a good example of this. I like parts and such from the 1960's. Even before. Why? I understand the industry at the time. I appreciate many of the outstanding engineering feats that were accomplished. As for what you posted. Not for me.That is not an insult. Deep appreciation of anything comes from learning. Yes. Something can catch your eye. But. Deep appreciation comes with understanding the artist's every brush stroke. I am sure you understand were I am coming from.
Good luck with your endeavour.

There is a thing where circuit board designers add art to their boards. That's been discussed on here before.

Yeah. I saw the posts on board art. In my day. It was basically the company logo. That is all. Now we even have die chip art. Silicon doodle art. I uploaded one example probably amongst millions.

I also read an article how enigineers are creating small nano bots from silicon. Actual small mechanical bots that can move. As in walk. And of course. It is expanding into the medical industry. Where these nano bots are injected into a patient and they will clean one's arteries.

Also can be a weapon. CIA stuff of course. Nano bots can be blown into the enemy's face. He inhales the dust. And the nano bots eventually kill the enemy from within.

Some interesting(?) stuff I have.

I find this crystal oscillator interesting. Its vintage. I had to see what was inside. I got a few of these at different frequencies. That rectangular piece is suspended in space by those 2 soldier connections. Look up Bliley cystals. Look at thier history. They got thier product into outer space.
Here to learn like everybody else.

Some vintage components.
Variable minature adjustable air dielectric capacitor. 2 pictures. The vanes and all contacts are silver coated.
Also. Variable cap. Variable inductor. Chassis flow thru capacitor. Much are silver coated.
This stuff is basically for communications equipment. 50's 60's.
