I have no idea why, but the general vicinity I live in is full of old, large, broken TVs in alleyways. In the last 2 days I've found 3. What can I salvage other than resistors and capacitors? Pic semi-related; phone camera is a shit and can't take half-decent photos

thing in that photograph looks like some drunk electronician was out of circuit bard and said "fuck it, i have weld and iron, i'll just wire this shit together"
>>
>>1000974
magnet wire from transformers
>>
things to bother with:
tubes and tube sockets
output transformers
resistors
film/foil capacitors
large transformers for scrap copper

don't bother with electrolytics. they'll be so out of spec after this long that there's no point.

>>1000974
pots and switchs might be worth keeping to tinker with and also >>1000978, op

if the stuff looks like your pic in op dont even bother salvaging parts, most are probably past its tolerance (some might even have gone the way of the dodo)
