    Do a google search for different grades of plastic. I've scrapped a lot of computers and business phone systems and phones and at one time had a list of the types I ran across. There were about 6 or 7 different grades and ABS made up only about a third of all the plastic I accumulated. Some of the newer plastic had either the triangle with the number in the center or the letters on it. A lot of the older plastic was not marked.

    Right, that's what I'm running into a lot of. Older stuff that's not marked.
