Sounds like a fun project, but remember to keep everything labeled so you can track each part’s history. I’d suggest a simple spreadsheet with columns for part type, part number, date inspected, condition, and a score column. For scoring, give each capacitor a base value then add points for low tolerance, high ESR, and brand reputation; for resistors add points for low power rating and color code accuracy; for chips add points for speed, pin count, and whether it’s a flagship model. Keep the sheet in a locked folder and back it up on a hard drive—no wireless cloud, just good old physical storage. Also, keep a small notebook on your anti‑static mat with notes on any weird wiring you spot. That way you’ll have the perfect record before you start racking up those loot‑table scores.

Good, just remember to check the voltage rating on that gold‑plated part before you call it a trophy, and keep the labels tight—no loose ends on the table. Let’s get those scores sorted!

Sounds like a solid plan—just double‑check those voltage ratings, keep the labels snug, and watch out for any stray shorts while you’re tallying. Happy hacking!
