    But some other parts come up:

    NTC Thermistors
    Fuses (found fuses that were just glass tubes sealed
    Capacitors (was surprised to learn about hermetically sealed tantalum capacitors in a glass tube)
    Diodes (the good ol' 1N914 is a classic glass packaged diode from the early days)
    High voltage resistors (Frank S mentioned this one)
