Dumpster diving for servos, sensors, etc?

by "Scott Smith" <scottseansmith2@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mar 20, 2008 at 01:34 PM

I'm working on a robotics project at home, and I've been able to scavenge 
lots of DC motors, steppers, gears, encoder wheels, IR emitter-detector
pair 
sensors, etc. from old inkjet printers.

I'd really like to get some servos to work with, and I've been Googling 
around, looking for articles on good sources for scavenging certain parts
- 
but surprisingly, haven't found much.

Can anyone recommend good sources for things like servos, or other 
hard-to-find components like sonic ranging sensors? Obviously, junked RC 
cars, boats, planes, etc. would be the best source, but I don't anticipate

finding many of those...

Any advice from other frugal hobbiests out there?

Thanks in advance

-Scott
