How To Get Cheap Electronic Components (Salvaging From Circuit Boards)

How To Get Cheap Electronic Components (Salvaging From Circuit Boards)

In this video, I will show you how I get cheap electronic components by salvaging from circuit boards. I get circuit boards from defunct electronic devices that I get practically for free, then I desolder all the useful components from them and sort them into drawers. It is a really cool way to get components cheaply.

    dr stone? is that you

  6. Tested to Destruction on July 26, 2020 at 8:54 pm

    man I remember doing this for hours as a kid, now I would take the board outside hit the back of the board with a large gas torch and bang the board off the floor till the components fall out………..

    hay part what you use equipment for desoldering transistors?

  10. Conner Gil on July 26, 2020 at 8:57 pm

    Good for you kid, I only had the guts to start seriously building electronic devices when I was like 19 after I had some electrician experience. You must hail from good stock.

    transformers are useful…

  13. Jake Daley on July 26, 2020 at 9:01 pm

    Im 12 and im kinda smart i just started soldering and welding I have yoinked alot of stuff from the dump now

    Now i just need knowledge, any idea where to get knowledge?

  14. Aaron on July 26, 2020 at 9:01 pm

    You can save a a fair amount of time desoldering scrap parts using a cheap heat gun and an air compressor. I’m sure you get the idea. Heat the solder and blow it off. I would recommend a sheet metal kinda backsplash to cut down on solder mess. DRESS APPROPRIATELY!

  15. PEDRO ROJAS on July 26, 2020 at 9:01 pm

    I have spent months researching into circuits and discovered a fantastic resource at Gregs Electro Blog (google it if you’re interested)

  22. Dacke on July 26, 2020 at 9:12 pm

    Good video. For as much desoldering as you do, you might want to just eventually get a desoldering gun. It makes things so much easier and faster.

    Many people over the years have proposed that there would be an increase in technology as the end times approach. Among those espousing this view were renowned scientists Isaac Newton and Francis Bacon. On the frontispiece of Bacon’s Instauratio Magna, ships of learning were depicted passing by the limits of human knowledge, with a quote in Latin from Daniel 12:4. In more recent times, this belief has been supported in books like Future Shock by Alvin Toffler and The Bible Code by Michael Drosnin.

    In Future Shock, first published in 1970, Toffler described the results of the rapid advancement of technology he had observed in the 1950s and 1960s. As technology brought ever faster changes in society, certain people were left on the sidelines, unable to cope with the speed of change. That stress and disorientation in people was dubbed “future shock.” Toffler did not attempt to use the Bible in his work, but the concept of future shock was alluded to in works like Hal Lindsey’s Late Great Planet Earth, which was also published in 1970. Mr. Lindsey has made frequent mention of Daniel 12:4 as a prophecy of this rapid technological advance.

    The Bible Code was based on the work of Eliahu Rips and others, who proposed that the history of all mankind was encoded in the text of the Torah and could be found by the process of “equidistant letter sequencing” or ELS. This concept was first proposed by Rabbi Bachya ben Asher in the 13th century, a man who is recognized as introducing the use of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) into the study of the Torah. According to this theory, the Hebrew word for “computer” is encoded in Daniel 12:4, thus giving apparent confirmation that technology would indeed have exponential advances with the advent of computers.

    With this background information, we are still left with the question, “Does the Bible say that an increase in technology is a sign of the end times?” The short answer is “No.” Working backwards through the previous information, the concept of ELS has been heavily debated in both academic and religious circles. Intriguing discoveries have been made, but the methods by which they appear are suspect at best. The concept proposed by Rabbi ben Asher is related more to divination than to Bible study, and God condemns any method of discerning hidden knowledge (Deuteronomy 18:10,14).

    But, as Toffler observed, there certainly has been an exponential increase of technology, and it appears to be gaining ground even more quickly. So what does the Bible have to say on this matter? Let’s take a look at the text in question, Daniel 12:4, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel was told that the meaning of his prophecy would be sealed until the time of its fulfillment was near. The majority of Bible scholars through the ages have understood the last two phrases to reference the prophecy itself. Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown’s critical commentary (published 1871) identified the meaning as scrutinizing every page to discover God’s purposes in the events foretold. John Darby translated the passage “many shall diligently investigate,” and Samuel Tregelles rendered it “many shall scrutinize the book from end to end.” Matthew Henry’s Commentary (c. 1700) said, “Then this hidden treasure shall be opened, and many shall search into it, and dig for the knowledge of it, as for silver. They shall run to and fro, to enquire out copies of it, shall collate them, and see that they be true and authentic. They shall read it over and over, shall meditate upon it, and run it over in their minds.”

    Many passages of Scripture refer to what will happen at the end of the age, but no other passage seems to deal with increasing knowledge or technology as a sign for us. A greater sign is the advancement of the gospel which Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24:14 and which He commanded us to proclaim in Matthew 28:19-20. God’s goal for mankind isn’t to advance as far as we can or to know all we can discover, but rather that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

    Gian Giorgio Trissino
    Both I and J were used interchangeably by scribes to express the sound of both the vowel and the consonant. It wasn’t until 1524 when Gian Giorgio Trissino, an Italian Renaissance grammarian known as the father of the letter J, made a clear distinction between the two sounds.

    circuit boards

  32. Miloje Markovic on July 26, 2020 at 9:21 pm

    Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover understanding electronics try Bablim Electronics Booster (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cousin got cool success with it.

  33. Milind Khurd on July 26, 2020 at 9:22 pm

    Inspiration, I wish I had started young as you. Good work. This is the way to learn.

  34. D Rozzelle on July 26, 2020 at 9:24 pm

    Instead of using proper de-soldering tools, I just heat up the pin and slam it on the ground to get the solder off. I find it works better than de-soldering tools. I have also found it odd that I have never needed to use butane to remove heatsinks, even large ones, even thought my soldering iron is 30W.

  35. Wes8761 on July 26, 2020 at 9:25 pm

    A commodore 1541 board!? Your scrapping that!!!!

  36. John Ekare on July 26, 2020 at 9:27 pm

    Thank you. I’m new to hobby electronics so this was very useful. One question though: wouldn’t static electricity be a risk factor when you place your circuit boards on a carpet like that?

  37. Kamran on July 26, 2020 at 9:29 pm

    After doing desoldering for one year you might get serious health problems because of toxic fume. That is why I would prefer to order a mix of electronic components from China. They sell it in kilograms and very cheap. Do not kill yourself with toxic soldering fume!

  38. 4372696D736F6E on July 26, 2020 at 9:29 pm

    I get mine from allegro. One op-amp for 26 cents. However the shipping prices might be high for non European people.

  39. todd hart on July 26, 2020 at 9:31 pm

    Hey buddy I’m new to this…actually quit my job to become a electronic assembler…I have always loved this and I’m diving head first into this..I’m 37 with 3 kids…just so you get idea I’m a old guy lol…but where can you buy or what is that called the device that tells you the components when u plug them into it..??? Also the flyback on the old tv could that be used for a tesla coil flyback? I want to make a good strong arc coilm..I’ve made a few from kits and they are ok but I wans make one from spare parts by myself and make it bigger and string arcs…going for 12" arc….maybe about a foot n half tall coil. Could you help with those 2 quesrions.. thank you for your videos…subscribed … you can email me or respond on here or however if possible…thank you

    Well put together video. You are a great explainer and smart fellow. Thanks for your work!

  50. Gary Johnston on July 26, 2020 at 9:46 pm

    Nah – never mind the desoldering iron and vacuum pump. Just use a big iron 80watt and quickly around the pins of the device you want to remove (whist you pull the device).
