Re: Anyone would get rid off electronics parts ?

Gaetan,
There quite a few places on the internet and on eBay that sell surplus components online, I'm not sure if it is against the rules to list URLs or not, so I won't for the moment.

One thing I do often for spare parts is to hit the thrift/goodwill/Salvation Army type places, and if a piece of equipment is functional, or I know that it has something I need/can use inside, I will pick it up.

A couple things I am resistant to reusing are old electrolytic capacitors (even from some of the surplus places), and some semiconductors that I know may have taken a lot of stress, such as output transistors, unless I am convinced when testing them that they are in good shape, often by comparing them with a new one of like value when possible.
