    Otto, you mean like these pieces?





    And what is this doohicky? It looks like it might be copper bearing but I don't see any of those prefixes





    Thanks!

    Top picture - bottom, middle looks like a transformer (below the blue cylinder which is a capacitor).

    2nd picture is a flyback transformer. I believe most places would take this as copper bearing.

    3rd picture looks like it contains RF tuning circuitry. Some places would take this as copper bearing as well.
