I've wired 10 capacitors to a camera circuit board and... well I fried it. a standart AA battery wasn't enough to charge them, so they wouldn't even discharge. I've tried to hook up a 22 volt led-acid battery to it, and thats when I fried it. Is there any way to charge them up without the circuit board? I was thinking of putting up a parallel switch onto the wires going to the capacitors, so when they are charged I'd flip a switch, and the energy would go straight to the coil instead of going through the board. I s that possible as well? A bit of a problem I’ve ran into.

I know for a fact that Costco One Hour Photo keeps the empty shells to be recycled. I'm pretty sure most places won't mind giving them to you. Plusses: Save $13, better components(?) from Kodak and Fuji cameras, return the empty shells back to the store for recycling.a Cons: Have to say please and thank you, might have to explain what you want them for. -William Hey instead of buying all the cameras next time go to a one hour photo place and ask if you can have the empty disposable camera shells.
