I'm thinking of changing the name of this thread to "Old School Electronics" or something.

Lots of great old films on YT.

I used to see a lot of this when I was a kid, I used to find abandoned electrical junk, old TVs radios etc:

So called "tag board" (if my memory serves). These were good finds for a kid, it was easy to cut the wires and remove and reuse the components, I had a ton of junk components like these when I was a teenager.

Same with me.
Back in the early 70s, it reached a point where I had so many recycled components, that I had to empty the drawer where normally my socks and underwear was placed, and replaced it with boxes of components.
Or junk as my mom called it.
