A quick look at some circa-1980's boards from old tube TVs. These are great for scrappers who also like to recover base metals. They often have thick coils of copper wire and big aluminum heat sinks, which are easy to yank apart. There are also tidbits of other things worth recovering in them, and here I go over roughly what you can expect to find on the typical boards of that bygone era of electronics. As I mention, they're not all the same. Some will be richer than others, so always pay close attention to what's present, and see if you can find where they were made. USSR-made stuff had a lot more PMs than devices made elsewhere. Capacitors from there frequently contained huge amounts of silver and palladium!
