A lot of the time, when you watch videos of smart electronics people on youtube, they will mention that they've been taking things apart since their childhood. I haven't been taking things apart because I'm sure that would've annoyed my parents to see their toys get dismantled like a serial killer version of squirrels or something.
I saw a video of someone making tesla coils by removing the transformers from a bunch of microwaves. He mentioned that it was dangerous to take apart microwaves, as a certain part of it could release toxic gas/dust if you damaged it while taking it apart.
What sort of things should I be on the look out for when I'm taking old electronics apart? Is it simply a case by case basis doing some research before hand? I'm gonna go to Goodwill and harvest the old electronics to "serial killer" them in my underground electronics laboratory.
