Funny you should say that. I have here a Geneva bulk eraser. One would have to be very careful just how near one put stuff. No coils or magnetic rotors of course, and I think the floppy disc of PCB would suffer global fusing.
It weighs in at 5kg, so one would expect a bit of oomph.
Oh, by the way technical type people. A charming old watchmaker told me yesterday of a conductive epoxy. Thy used to try to repair coils after non-qualified people ruined them while changing batteries. He abandoned the stuff, but it's significant as I see the coils on these watches terminated with a clear substance. I can see no sign of soldering. The windings, some 6mm long offer 2.6k DC resistance which means very delicate wire.
P.S. I claim the prize for the greatest thread drift in the computer forum history.
