Instead of throwing away old circuit boards which are beyond repair, I
find myself removing the caps etc for possible future re-use (just
using a soldering iron, as wick is quite expensive). Is anyone else
here this sad? :-)


Show me the true professional on here who doesn't. Like James, I keep a
scrap box (in ham radio circles, it's called "The Junk Box" and stuff built
from it is called "Junk Box Construction") and use parts culled from it,
regularly. I don't pre-remove the parts that 'might' be useful. Just remove
stuff, as it's needed.
