Hi all,
I have several old cable remote controls from various cable companies over the years. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good beginner project to use these with? I also have an old dvd player (alright I'm a packrat, I admit it!) I havent' soldered anything in 20 years (my Navy days) and would like to get back into electronics and thought I'd just try removing components from the boards - just to ease back into it. I read an article on EEtimes that says to use your heat gun, "helping hands", and some needle nose and you can get a lot of used/hard to find parts off of this old equipment.

Anyhow,
