We scrounge a few things that we think have a high probability of being useful.. But the workshop is only so big, and rent for a bigger place is not available....so most of the truly dead stuff goes to the dump..

Yeah, that $8k 4yo 85" plasma.... we could trick it to light up and the picture was great, but the CPU that controls the set had let go of the magic smoke inside so it didn't respond to the remote control. No replacement CPU board available due sold out months earlier.... Very sad to see it go, but very exhilarating giving it the 'Wun-too-heave-ho' at the dump...
