Great - a resounding vote from a notable non-hoarder! :-)

We'll grab whatever we can, time and effort permitting. I believe John can only be there until 3, so it may depend on how many hands we have available to help...

They also have boxes and boxes with old IR security equipment that is probably useless now. Very rudimentary 90's gear: just an IR LED and sensor on the inside. Came from a company making this stuff, so there's also boxes full of headlamp-type reflectors etc (not the pretty round ones Cere is interested in; just angular pieces of reflective plastic). If we get tired or run out of time, I'd vote to leave that stuff behind.

PLEASE SPEAK UP NOW, if *anyone* actually want the boxes with electrical
components! So far, I've yet to hear anyone say "yes, let's get
those". I'm not interested in dragging in stuff that nobody wants!
Most of them are fairly old - I'd guess 90's or so. The components are
in smaller boxes of 50-100 each or so, inside larger cardboard boxes.

Are there specific types we should pick up or avoid? Potentiometers and
resistors YES; capacitors, SMDs and ancient ICs NO? How about the
various mechanical fasteners, screws, standoffs, etc?

There's a whole box with newer-looking 4700uF/16V caps, and a box full
of large 2500uF/80VDC caps - skip?

There are also 5-6 sturdy metal rolling cabinets like this one:
