Absolutely. If I had a mind to I could easily fill the car with throw-
outs. Local repair shops are likely to have all sorts of goodies in
the back destined for the bin. So much is unrepairable now of
course that even the most minor fault (if anyone even bothered to
look for it that is) is enough to turn an appliance into instant scrap

A printer would be ideal. You've got the carriage, belt, motor,
driver and power supply. Individually they would be expensive
but a fantastic deal as free rubbish
