Can anyone look at these and let me know if these are worth scraping off the boards? I’ve just begun studying what I should be looking for. Much appreciated!

Only the Yellow Boxed SMD Capacitors are Tantalum and the Black Capacitors with the Plus sign are Tantalum SMD Capacitors.

All others are not.

After years of studying this I hope I finally figured it out

Pulled these from some antique equipment

If these are not all tantalum then everything I thought I knew was wrong.......LOL

It's a little bit confusing, because the pic you have on your own website, shows the pic of the little black boxes to be recognized by people with interests in collecting and selling Tantalum to you, but the black boxes in the pic have no + sign on them, lol?
