Hello!
Polecat here, Just wondering if Capacitors are worth removing?
Do they have any value to them? Should I take them off delicately or be more conservative with my time and not worry about damage?

I collect flux capacitors if you find any of those ; )
there is a huge range of value in them from $1-70lb and more and a lot of posts on here to help you will that but yes there is value everything in this business has value lol
Hello Polecat,
tantal capacitors are worth removing them, but you will need a lot of them to collect a quantity worth selling.
Tantal is worth about 235$ / lb and most tantal capacitors are around 25% tantal. So the price I get from my dealer is 50-80$ / lb.
Not every capacitor is tantal ! google it :D
pictures Roudeleiw?
The "drops" are worth less, the SMD ones are worth more.Quote:

what are flux capacitors worth and what do they look like.

The flux capacitor is the most important part on a delorian and enables it to go 80 mph :lol:
we refine flux capacitors in-house
These are easy to refurbish just replace the leveriteQuote:

Remember, you also need 1.21 gigawatts to power the flux capacitors.
How are people storing their tiny circuit board components? Someone mentioned using pill containers, which sounds like a decent idea. Do you keep all the different items in their own containers, or try to lump things?
We just had somebody on here the other night that buys Tantalum Capacitors. They ranged from 21.00#-78.00# if I remember right. I think he has a thread in the buyers section.
Yep, he's in the buyers section. Florida- Tantalumrecycler
I guess you missed this thread:Quote:

I don't think she's talking "buckets" haha, my thought was more like "baggies" for tiny stuff like thatQuote:

I will check out the bucket thread now.
hek yes, coffee cans, ice cream buckets, peanut tins, the list could be endless
There is no wrong bucket/container. I use mason jars for certain items, like eproms. Once it's full I find a larger container. I do that with a lot of things. I have mini OMG IT"S GOLD™ containers for the smaller gold items. Otherwise they get lost in the bigger ones.
Cookie tins are a good idea. I use those for my gold connecters, parts from harddrives I save. I use a old plunger to hold the discs, that handle is useful! Should see the look I get once it's full an I bring it up stairs to show off to the wife. She just rolls her eyes an tells me she's happy for me. lol.

I thought it was 88MPH and don't forget Mr. Fusion. lolQuote:

Altoid containers would be good for gold pins, until you get enough to move them into a bigger bin.
Guilty Admission: Sometimes I buy food for the containers. I eat the food, or someone in this place does, and I get to keep the cool containers. Those big plastic pretzel bins from Costco are awesome, as an example.
I store gold plated pins, inkjet gold contacts etc in the plastic reclosable containers that sliced deli meats come in.
You r outta luck if you are a vegetarian.
I missed this when it was posted, but ewasted totally won the internet for the day hahahahaQuote:

I burst out laughing at all the flux capacitor talk, brilliant!
There are also Monolithic Ceramic Capacitors: Palladium and Silver

I'd suggest reading and looking through lots of pictures and YouTube videos. Tantalum capacitors appearance varies greatly. I've been trying to figure everything out and have learned a lot but still have a lot to learn. Tantalum - positive side marked either by line or + sign. Some of the ceramic capacitors will have a line that's in the middle. The aluminum capacitors have vents on the top of them but if it doesn't have a vent it could still be other relative useless capacitor. If it has a R it's a resistor, some look like capacitors but they would have C. I prob didn't help but there is a lot of vague topics on it. I plan on learning everything and posting a solid video about all the shapes sizes colors etching of the different capacitorsQuote:
