What is valuable in old TVs

Often on the streets or on the Internet you can find ads on the purchase of old televisions or other radio equipment. Such a deal is mutually beneficial: the owner gets rid of outdated equipment that has not been used for its intended purpose and clutters the house for a long time, and for the buyer it is a great opportunity to make money on reselling valuable parts.

Such an activity is a profitable home-based business, since, when properly managed, it can generate good income without significant financial investments and possession of special knowledge. You will only need a telephone connection, a computer with the Internet and a workspace, you will need to invest only in the purchase of equipment and its transportation, and with personal transport, the task is simplified even more. In addition, if you take into account the village and village, almost every resident will have one, or even two unnecessary TVs, while you can buy them for a purely symbolic amount of 100 rubles.

The main source of income from the purchase and subsequent analysis of old equipment is the radio components contained in it, or rather, precious and non-ferrous metals used in their manufacture. Their number varies depending on the model, but the fact of their content is undeniable. In diodes, switches, connectors, legs of microcircuits and terminals you can find elements of gold, however, before starting to disassemble the TV, it is advisable to consult with experts and in the relevant forums about which particular parts are most profitable in this regard.

It is best to buy Soviet TVs for these purposes, rather than imported ones, since they usually contain more gold elements.

IMPORTANT! Since there is not much gold in the details, to extract it will require not only knowledge in the field of chemistry, but also the presence of a real chemical laboratory, so if you do not have either one, do not try to do it yourself. Selling the radio components themselves, even without extracting precious metals from them, will allow you to recoup the cost of buying equipment.

However, in addition to gold, old TVs also contain copper and aluminum, which, although they cost less, are also valuable. In addition, they can often be removed mechanically, not chemically, which means you can do it yourself.

If you have some experience, in one hour of work you can get about 50 grams of capacitors.
