Oh, I'm very much aware. (not my first BBQ) The problem is that people in general, but suits in particular, don't understand the difference between "ownership" and "custodianship".

Suits have a different perspective.
For a suit.....
What is this asset? Does it cost too much to have? Is it economical
for us to get rid of it? If so, throw it away and claim a tax writeoff.
They're not paid to consider the intrinsic value of that to anybody. It
doesn't contribute to how they are judged, which is the corporate bottom
line.
For a scrapper?
What are the pieces worth? What can I get for these useless cables I've
cut off, they're all copper, aren't they? Manuals? What's the price of
used paper per ton? How much gold can I get from this?
Hobbiests and engineers?
Best of luck.

As much as those things are worth, someone trashed one? Holy crap. I'm guessing suits.

I rescued a nice HP 339A distortion analyzer from an e-waste bin at work, but not before another piece of equipment was dropped in an sheared off the 400Hz filter button cap, which was lost. There is about 1/8 inch of the push-button switch post left inside, behind the front panel, and the switch stills works fine if poked with a stick, but looks bad.
Questions:
1. Is there any source for the grey cap nowadays?
2. Could a remaining button cap next to it be pulled straight off as a sample?
3. Has anyone made a new button from a sample with either epoxy in a mold or 3D printer?
4. Any other ideas for button cap repair/replacement I'm missing besides buying another 339A for parts?
Thanks.
