You could possibly collect all the optical and glass components together, photograph them and then pack them in a box. Putting a local classified advert may reach a tinkerer that is prepared to pay enough to go to all the trouble of packing and posting them. Older microscopes were largely built of brass, these days less and less and the metals will be cast iron, steel and aluminium.
That was interesting, and a different bit of scrapping. 👍
It was a good bit of scrapping. It yielded some good brass.
Yupiiiii🎉
Nice breakdown, Mike 👍

@@rixismetals. That's fantastic! Your support means a lot.
Pretty cool!
I know, right? The individual who thought to design that and then actually build it, incredible to say the least, and it was built using brass, too.
Hello Mike 🤝 Scrap Rodriguez sent me your way -Red
Hello, redrum! Welcome aboard. Thanks for visiting my channel! Much appreciated 🙏 🙂
@@MicroScraprMike 🙂No problem, you're welcome!
I've not seen a microscope scrapped before, interesting.
Any of the screws brass ?
You would have thought, right? But no, they were steel.
