What Are These?

**Stargate1** · 02-08-2017, 09:28 PM

Can anyone identify what type of capacitors these are, if in fact any of them are capacitors? I have been stocking up on my tantalum ones and I don't know if any of these are tantalum capacitors. If there is any value in them at all, please let me know. Otherwise, I throw them into my steel/shred bin. Also, does anyone know if there is any scrap value in the aluminum electrolytic caps? I take apart the large ones for the paper inside- it works great as a fire starter for camping! Thanks so much!

A picture would help

Ceramic disc and aluminum caps from the looks of it. I'm too lazy to look up the numbers.

Sorry I haven't taken the time yet to actually embed the pictures in posts. Thanks for the assistance!

In the last photo, I see one that might be Tantalum. It's located in the center. There's a brown disc and a black or dark green pillow shaped piece. Between them there's 3-4 pcs. At their right is a another brighter green pillow shaped piece. The leg of the bright green piece which is closest to the top of the photo is practically touching the capacitor in question. It's blue. Possibly due to the way it's lying it seems to have a tantalum epoxy shape. Sometimes referred to as "paint drop", "gum drop", etc.(can't we just call them the industry standard, epoxy?) If it's shape is different from the rest in the photo, please take a photo of just that one by it's self and post it here.
