    Okay, here are some pics broken down:

    If these are not tantalum, are they worth removing from the boards? This is low grade board otherwise.... are the legs probably silver? Worth taking those off? I have an entire trashcan full of boards like this, so maybe with that volume there is value. Although with that volume I'd be thrilled to learn they are tantalum!!!

    There was another board with a blue coated capacitor in my first post. It is in another location, so I won't be able to post tear down pics of that one today.

    Your feedback is appreciated! If anyone has any more helpful hints to identify tantalum caps, please share!

    Thanks,
    Joe
