Today, i went to a building that was used to make police equipment (radios, servalince VCRs, and more). Anyway, we were going to use the building as our new school. Inside the building was all and every kind of electronic componet (most of them anyway). I worked some, then hooked up the Security cameras, then i went and got a few Caps, some Resitors, 2 large bread boards (and one breadboard had a ready made radio transmitter on it) some crystals, diodes, about 30 green and red LEDs, few transistors, few feet of single lead wire, and lots more other stuff, and the best thing is that i got it for FREE.

Salvage is your friend. I have a broken dot-matrix printer that's just full of goodies. LED's, high voltage capacitors, some logic chips, buttons, tactile sensors, stepper motor and geartrain, huge power supply, etc.

If the printer works and is of a "common" type (ie. Lexmark wide carriage, Okidata, Epson LX whatever...) then sell it. Probably be able to get $200.
