Hard to tell with the angle but my first guess was a shelf tag or desktop name plate holder (whatever it's called lol)

heat sinks and small copper windings, man thats awesome but a ton of winter work. stuff to be done in front of a TV when its too cold outside to get bigger stuff. All those are a headache with a ton of small screws and little value for the time spent. Something is better than nothing and a steady stream is worth its weight in copper.

Yeah I actually don't down break down a lot of the scientific equipment I get in. I take the easy to pick items and the rest goes in the shred pile. For instance with the centrifuge I took the brass tubes and the piece of aluminum that held the tubes while the rest went in with shred. I used to be able to break down everything.

I do save back some lower grade stuff for when I hit a slump but there has been no slump for the last several months so it's time to clear out some of that stock pile.
