 I wholeheartedly agree. I've taken apart a number of old 35mm cameras and various old digital cameras that we have accumulated over the years. They are a rich source of gears and tiny motors.  BUT BEWARE. Inside most of these cameras lurk fairly hefty capacitors. Touch the wires on one of these if they still have a charge and you will get a very painful shock. Ask me how I know. And you will probably find yourself using words that you have to explain to your children. 

If you think those are bad, try brushing up against one in a microwave oven.

Just about blew me out of my seat !
