Electronics Parts Scavenging

I like to build things fix them restore them and give them new purpose in life. Most of the time I don't have the money to fund these ventures, So I have become vary good at Scavenging  for what I need. Anything electronic comes across bench that can't be fixed is getting striped for parts. 

First things first you need a good stash of parts to fill your junk box.

First rule take all broken electronics from anyone.

                              

Next thing you will need is some tools. This is de-soldering pump
  pump it is an essential tool to the process!

Next tool you will need is a soldering iron another essential tool to the process!

A good vice to hold the parts it's not necessary buts it helps allot.

Solder fum extractor will keep you healthy too. See my other other blog post for this.

Old cutting board so you don't mess up your table.

Now you have you have every thing you need to get started!

The best part of Electronics Scavenging is you find out how to take stuff apart.

So what do you end up with a lot of future projects! That won't cost you more in shipping then the parts cost!
