Sometimes something is donated but on receipt, it appears not to work. In this example, it was a bedside radio. The manual may not be present and the item may be too old to find on the internet. So the dismantling process is started. The item may be composed of many sub-modules and some of them may be identifiable electronic sub-units such as keypads, rotary controls for volume, motors (DC or stepper) and so on.
