I've grabbed a few odds and ends from various boards. I'd bet a large number of Ebay pulls
come from this method. I don't do it very often because all my old stuff is easy to find parts
for. But if I needed a specail ship for my Atari's I wouldn't hesitate ti find another game
system to grab parts from.
