Yeah, the wood is a hassle, but I do like old electronics. Tearing apart old systems is like digging in the cereal box for the prize (Disregard that analogy if you are younger than 45).

If it's real wood it shouldn't be such a hassle, some(if not most) with real wood make nice enough cabinets to be re-purposed in almost countless ways
Are those gold plated legs on those transistors? Mike

Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
They are gold plated. These are the largest I've found yet. Transistors about 1/4 inch diameter and legs over an inch long. The "wood" is usually particle board.

I don't actually see any tantalum there...
I took a cabinet TV that spins beefed it up and made a work bench. Great for breaking down printers.

yeah, I've got a workbench from one of those out behind the barn, doesn't spin tho because I turned it up on its side for height(and saved the heavy duty swivel for some other "brainstorm" haha ; )

Those are like what I posted about a year ago, and someone mentioned that under the "cap" is a gold disk.

Take a look at those high tech hexagon heat sinks on a couple of the transistors!! Did they just ram the things into hex nuts?
Jon.
I've never taken one apart, but the bottom of the transistor has nice gold plating on it.
Two of the transistors are stuck into aluminum hex nuts. It didn't occur to me that they are heat sinks, but that makes sense. The nuts just unscrewed from the mount and I didn't spend any time trying to extract the transistors. They just went into the OMG bucket
