Seriously anyone wanting to give up their MV rectifiers can contact me off list. Proper disposal after they are used up is assured. If I drop dead, consultants to my executor include a couple of people who know what to do with them, and the capacitors, and the beryllium oxide-containing tubes, and the WWII aircraft instruments.... They'll either take them for their own use, find equally 'green' homes for them, or recycle them properly in accorance with regulation.
