How To Get Cheap Electronic Components (Salvaging From Circuit Boards)
In this video, I will show you how I get cheap electronic components by salvaging from circuit boards. I get circuit boards from defunct electronic devices that I get practically for free, then I desolder all the useful components from them and sort them into drawers. It is a really cool way to get components cheaply.

i wish my son had half of the interest on learning stuff
Component reuse/selling is way more profuitable and eco-friendly than gold recovery, which isn’t even profitable
Any old dog can buy electric components so my respect tends to go to the ones who can find and reuse

Where do you find your circuit boards/ewaste?
Nice video dude. How did you make that component tester? That looks like a really educational project.
Dumpster…
I also keep circuit boards from discarded devices. Even if most of the simple components can be bought cheaply online, the pure satisfaction from building something useful from old components is almost addictive, hehe.
I know you might not reply to a comment on your older videos, I just like to ask, should hobbists be concerned with lead exposure from desoldering/soldering on old boards?

Yes you do what I do
Dont forget your safety specs!!! solder flicks everywhere when u do this.
this is exactly what i do
I suggest taking all the ceramic capacitors (the blue flat ones) since they are useful for high voltage projects such as voltage multipliers and high voltage capacitor banks
it is cool and love you project
Give up kid, go enjoy a life, smoke a POT and chase girls or you’ll end up like me a SINGLE.
After 60 years you’ll have plenty of time for that.
Great idea..! Thank you…!
THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME!
You are an amazing teacher and you explain things quite well. I’ve subscribed and I wish you luck with your endeavors.
What’s a good electronic to loo out for for salvaging low volt mosfets? 4-5v in paticular. Thannks!
If only companies did this and not leave all the labor to hobbyists!
Thank you for your time 🙂🙂
Excellent FYI, but doesn’t stay focused on the subject matter i.e. too much video presentation on the individual!
Yoooo thats alot
maasallah gj keep it bro love it !!!
My friend I want to ask about old computer PC what is the electronic components I can take from it?
Great Video. awesome bench setup with great ideas. Please continue to make more videos
Good vid but it’s hard to see everything. You need better lighting.
Aside salvaging the components, you can also repurpose whole boards as they are; for example, I used a microwave oven control board to command a UV lamp for erasing EEPROMs or for making PCBs. As is essentially a timer, I choose one with display (VFD) that also display the remaining time. Other repurposed thing was a garage door controller with its own remote control to switch on or off the outside lights. The limit is your imagination.
Impressive video. I enjoyed watching it from start to end.
What does this have to do with being transgender?
What. in. the. heck. was that AMAZING tool you used in the intro!?
harvesting capacitors from defective equipement, specially power supplies, will probably make you stock defective capacitors… you should all test them for ESR and capacitance… most of the time, powersupply fails because of bad capacitors…
I’m 38 and only now getting into hobby electronics, this video is a lifesaver and very informative, thank you! I had an old lcd tv that the screen broke and the lcd ruined, so i just today took it apart and saved the boards and useful parts, now i’m going to begin unsoldering!
your component tester and identifier is very attractive and useful and interesting for me
In my country, I can get almost many type of scrap circuit board, scrap working powerfull server power supply, and each of them are very cheap!
For example I bought scrap but working xbox 360 power supply, 203 watts version for just $1.4 each, and powerfull PC power supply at just under $1 each
And many type of scrap circuit board in just under $1 for 1kg
*sorry if there any broken english
1:23 i have completely same lol
10:45 Shotty diodes?? lol….
You remind me of myself when I was 15 and salvaging old electronics from broken neighbours devices and use it to build led flasers and radio transmitters. Now I am studying electrical engineering.
Dude what a classy intro
You are awesome.
Shall I ask wheter you know where we can find diac and triac ?
the transistor tester is genius
“tanner tech tanner tech tanner hello this is tanner tech” its the coolest theme ever
You should make your self an activated carbon extractor for the fumes as solder has nasty stuff in it.
Excelent 👍🏻
Love the intro lol
It’s like treasure. Lol
I like looking for discontinued ICs.
challenge: take a shot every time he says Circuit Board. Great Video!
I thought I had the fever.
You a 50 mile lead on me
I take the resistor from old and new boards if they no work there is most likely gold on it some have silver over time it will be worth I think new boards don’t have gold on them
I need help to fix my reverb. Any advice? Thank you!

Are you still making videos
Those heat sinks might not worth inhaling all those gases during the soldering.
