Just wanting to note my appreciation of everyone's willingness on this board to share tips and educate others. My 11 year-old son has been dragging home discarded applinaces from around the neighborhood for years now, taking them apart to see what he could find inside. I got tired of finding space for it all in the garbage when one day it finally dawned on me that the aluminum, copper, etc. could be sold. Now we have a weekend hobby of scrapping computers, electronics and small appliances. Seems to be a good way to spend time with my son, because as you parents know in a few years he won't want to be hanging around with his dad, at least I didn't when I was a teenager. It also seems to be a good way to teach him that to get money you have to put forth some effort.
