Alterative source of bits and pieces for the spare

Old useless scanners, copy machines and printers.
Why dump them? they can be a nice source of parts, everything from chromed steel rods straight and usually in pairs, stepper motors, belts, sprockets / gears, bearing, assorted small screws, nuts and cables.
The glass from a scanner makes a very useful flat work surface, any paint getting on the face easily removed with a Stanley blade.
All free, strip the parts you want.
Scrap what you don‘t want you were going to do that anyway

You also get the fun and enjoyment of wrecking said item

Yes Paul.

Destroy! Exterminate! Exterminate!
Good for stress relief, and very therapeutic.

Paul please put some bug spray on that critter 

Thank's for the Tip.
I have thrown one or two printers out in my time.
Now i wished i hadn't LO!!
