Some radio parts of various electronics contain precious metals, the list of radio parts containing precious metals is huge, some of them contain: gold, platinum, silver, palladium and other rare earth metals.
Where can you find radio parts containing precious metals? You can find them in household appliances and measuring instruments. Basically, many of these radio components were used in Soviet electronics, but they can also be found in modern imported equipment, for example, in computers and telephones.
In Soviet times, electronics were in short supply, so even a broken TV or device was not thrown away, but tried to keep, since it could be repaired or used as spare parts for the repair of other household appliances and electrical devices. All this electronics was accumulated in garages, loggias, basements, attics and was often not used. And if you have such bins or found a discarded device, board and any other equipment, then do not rush to throw it away, as it may contain radio components containing precious metal. If your plans do not include its further use, then check its radio parts in our reference book and it is quite possible that you can earn very good money.
Radio components produced in the union have the highest content of precious metals. For example, KM capacitors, various transistors and microcircuits, resistors, switches and other radio components are valuable, all examples can be found in our guide to radio components containing precious metals.
This handbook is based on the forms and passports of radio components, as well as data from various organizations involved in the processing of radio tubes.
Cooperate only with those organizations that are licensed to process and buy electronic scrap.
