Part Mining
What’s junk to some, is gold to others
Published in issue 350, January 2006
It’s been said that within a few years the home constructor will be totally dependent on salvaged electronic equipment for even the commonest of parts. Others have faith in the combined power of the Internet and two or three mail order giants remaining after an slow but certain market shakeout. Whatever the outcome, now is the time to step into action if you are after that one elusive part for your project or repair job. Concentrate on What and Where, surf, dig, unearth, bargain and rummage around. The Old Curiosity Shop may be closer to you than you think.
