Is it legal to burn that sort of thing where you are at?

at the time I lived in a Small Town Where everyone who mattered, minded there own business. so if you didn''t run to a government office or get on the phone and ask the state
it didn't shortin the life of your neighbors. or cause global warming !

going to a place the size of mayberry, or Hootersville would have been like going to the big city

In all the yrs of operating a scrap company I never once bought the brass plug ends as a seperate brass item.
Transformers yes, as copper content.
The guy has lots of time on his hands.

I had a sign on the wall..

Dead CD player's converter became my plastic coffee tub electrolysis power supply.
It and the rest of the components fit in the empty dry tub and the lid goes on for storage.
Probably a partial baggie of wash soda in there too.
