    I have come across what is to me, a new twist in the quest for Tantalum capacitors. These TA have a different metal "welded" to both leads. Both ends are recessed. These are M39006 series capacitors. Specifically, M39006/01-3054. Per photo, these puppies are almost 3" long! With a weight of 15.6 grams each, certainly worth my time to pluck them off the host board. I've had many similar boards that had 3" long capacitors around the perimeter but these were the first that were TA. To the right of center are two more TA. The long (1") skinny one also has recessed ends with welded leads on both ends. It's a M39003 series.

    That's true. I have a quart fruit jar full of them. Accumulating them was a waste of time. At my age, it's doubtful I'll be able to hang on to enough stuff to make a refinery trip worth while. Even if I did, I don't think they would be high grade enough to make that trip. Not to mention that I had to leave something "shiny" on the board to be able to sell it.

    Transistors. 2 little metal top hats in the top right corner area, and the large one with the black heatsink under it.
