To the Ineffable All,
I used to salvage parts from circuit boards like that, but one usually winds up with resistors and caps with short leads that are mostly useless for a lot of applications. Yes, I know there are ways of extending the leads, but is it practical for the time spent to do it? I don't think so. So now I just buy every component that has a lead in a unused condition and cut the lead of a component to comply with my application.
