content: Quote from: EEVblog on January 17, 2013, 02:01:37 amWhat are you going to do with those? I used to scavenge for old electronics stuff but a few years ago I realised I was out of space and most of it was really useless junk anyway. So I got rid of most of it. I had some of the items for over 20 years but never used them. Its cheaper to buy what you need when you need it than to spend money on shelving (or a shed) to store stuff you may need
