    LCD "number" readouts

    Not sure what to call them I suppose. But the little LCD type readouts (like you would find on a microwave, that shows the remaining time). Any market for them? Should I peel them off the low grade boards or just leave them? Thanks gang.:confused:

    Theres been talk about recycling the Indium out of them. But thats as far as it got. Indiums worth around US$320 Lb. Theres not much indium in a LCD.

    No market for them that know of. It would be up to your buyer, some buyers say take them off others don't care.

    Thank you guys. Perhaps I'll just toss them in a box for now. Are you all saving them or just tossing them?
