It is amazing what you can find in old electronics that you can use for other experiments. I once did a video and article on post apocalyptic electronics and what you could salvage after an economic collapse.
I gut out all my old electronics before properly disposing of the hulls and left over waste. This keeps a lot of garbage out of the landfill and also gives me some nice electronics components to work with.
When I was young my only source of electronics components was from whatever other people tossed out as garbage. I would literally strip out an entire circuit board for the electronics.
Today I tore apart an old television to get the useful parts from inside.
My previous article building a Joule Thief was made using all salvaged parts from an old television, for example.
There are a lot of potentiometers (variable resistors) in an old style TV which you can keep. The dials are also good along with them.
There is quite a bit of connecting wire to be saved for small projects. There are a lot of components on the circuit boards inside a TV.
The tube has some magnet wire wrapped around it which is great for making coils and motors.
And much more.

great! I love the electronics! recently I did a regenerative receiver and it works! :)

Troy Reid, better know as TR, Trog, Leatherhead (because of his dirty stinking greasy old hat that he wears every place he goes even in the house) Turkey Head, Fruit Loops and more, is a full time ebegger, scammer and a fraud.
He has a band of dedicated goons on his YouTube channel that send him their money because he refuses to get a job.
His 100k subs on YouTube, I believe are mostly bought hence the reason for only 2 or 3 thousand views of his no content video.
I think what has amazed me the most since he has been on here is just how nasty he is, throwing random accusations at everyone because he can't delete their comment.
Trogs story of scanning and stupidity is a long one, he is the only YouTuber I know that has a superb dedicated sucks site, it is definitely the best place to gen up on his evil doings.
Come on over, everyone is friendly, it's not the place Reids suckers make it out to be.

He makes zilch financially playing in his electronics lab but spends an exorbitant amount of time in that little shack and spends money heating it with propane since he didn't follow through as he said and insulate it. This is the type thing an honest working man supporting a family would do on his off time from work. Troy wants to play and have people give him money so he doesn't have to get a job. Ask his parents about subsidizing troys hobbies and basic living expenses.

Actually I make money on various media sites from my videos and articles.
Looks like someone is jealous of me or just angry with your life.
Either way, just go away and find something you do like and stop trolling me.
