He guys, I have been collecting components from PCB's for years now, and it's time to get it cleaned up a little as it is taking too much space now. My qyestion is; what should I do with the following components:
- crystal oscillator (with the metal housing) around 2 kilo's
- different kind of tantalum capacitors around 2-3 ounces
- over 5 kilo's of chips (with no means to incinerate)
- buckets full of transformers and the electromotors from hard drives and floppy drives and PC PSU's
I'm tired of removing the copper from the transformers, but I'm not sure they have any real value.
The oscillators need a lot of acid to process and I am not sure if it is worth it while.
No idea how to recover the Tantalum, or what to do with these.
The chips might contain a lot of gold but I do not think I can incinerate that kind of volume, unless I can use a barbeque to do so.
Any input is welcome, need to figure out how to proceed with these..
