SO AFTER 10 MONTHS OR SO OF PULLING TANTALUM CAPACITORS OFF OF COMPUTER AND TELECOM BOARDS I FINALLY GAVE UP AND DECIDED TO PUT THESE LITTLE SUCKERS UP FOR AUCTION TO SEE WHAT THEIR "STREET VALUE" IS :cool:. I WAS SHOOTING FOR 25 LBS BUT IM SEEING THOSE LITTLE THINGS IN MY NIGHTMARES!!

WELL ANYWAY HERE IT IS LETS SEE WHERE THEY END UP AT.LOL
disappointing result considering smf buyers would have paid $220+ for the lot
it took me about 6 hours labor to remove 2 pounds of these from boards, not worth it in my opinion, but its still better than minimum wage
I still haven't figured out what type of capacitors to remove. Is it all capacitors except the standard cap (big cylinder cap)? Are all the little caps good?

What type of board has the most?
Server boards and older motherboards and hard drive boards seem to have the most. JG it's a learning curve I wanted to see it's value on the open market. And now I know. I pull these off while at work so it's that or read the paper :-)
You did fine CT... Not disappointing at all Good job and thanks for posting the results.
Older two way radios (Motorola) have more than any computer associated board that I've seen but then I haven't seen them all.Quote:

Guess I will be sending you some picks on the stuff I have fairly soon ;) I don't have alot yet, but that should change once I do my next couple of recycling events.
