I am about to dump two busted stereo receivers of 70's and 80's
vintage, a Proton D940 and a Kenwood KH-4070. I have grabbed the knobs
off them, and the wooden endplates from the Kenwood.

Is there anything else worth saving from the inside?

I know, a real scavenger would keep both of them forever, but the wife
says they got to go.

If you do your own repair work, or build DIY projects, you might salvage the
power transformers (if they're not blown) and heatsinks. And retrieve any
unblown fuses from their holders. Otherwise, no.

Peace,

The aluminum front panels and heatsinks can be recycled.

Probably not for yourself, but offer them up to someone who wants to
convert their old LPs to CD, has a turntable, but no RIAA equalized
preamp.
