I've services quite few of these and used 80% isopropal or ethel alcohol. Just wash the entire silicon keypad in the solvent. I've found it usually last about a year before it needs to be done again. I had a small panasonic TV that sat on our kitchen table that had its remote control sit next to it. Had to wash the key pad about every 9 months...it was usually in the sunlight from the skylight which I think the UV light accelerated the release of the grease. Good luck J |

I actually found a recycler in driving distance who claims he will even take my CRT tvs. I know, except for some weird situation I won't find, no one wants a CRT TV but what about.... A westell DSL modem Hub https://www.ebay.com/itm/Westell-Wire-Speed-DSL-Modem-Model-A90-210015-04-/153433002888 still offered for $20 plus 9 shipping, but does that mean anyone can use it? My wifi router. a router without wifi? (bought by mistake at a hamfest, when I didn't notice it had no antenna. Otherwise it looked just like the one I was using. |

I guess it can depend on if there *is* a market for any of it for some reason. Like, I was given a commercial Hard Drive storage unit that was full of low capacity half height 3.5" SCSI HDDs that turned out to be of use to people running / upgrading a game console of some sort and they all sold on eBay for a reasonable sum. >I actually found a recycler in driving distance who claims he will even >take my CRT tvs. We have a recycler who pays for old PCB's and even cables and connectors as they recover any precious metals (primarily gold) and even the lead from the solder. Old CPU's and RAM are good as they often have gold plated pins. So if I have something that is both dead and unlikely to be of any use to anyone else (even if working) I generally take it to bits, recover anything that might be of use to me (screws, switches, fuse holders, IEC sockets, big caps etc) before recycling what's left. Might be worth a quick check online (eBay etc) *before* you strip something down as you can often be surprised how valuable some old stuff can be. I stripped a couple of brand new / old stock 486 mobos, only to see on eBay they were going for quite a bit (possibly old engineering equipment that still used such). ;-( Cheers, T i m |

There are companies that are approved for collecting (from the vendors) and recycling.

Over the years, there have been a few incidents where nosy journalists have found hundreds of tons of Norwegian e-waste in remote African villages. Let's hope that's no longer happening. |

Problem is that if you want to put them very close on frequency like you can with a crystal and trimmer capacitor you are out of luck. They only cost a few dollars, under $ 5 if I recall correctly instead of around $ 50 that Bomar would want for a crystal. They do put out a waveform roughly equal to a square wave. |
