Junk yard near Denver had a goldmine of OEM alternators last saturday

I was up at Pull-A-Part off Federal Blvd around 9am last weekend looking for a window regulator for my 04 Tacoma. Ended up walking past a row of late 90s Honda Accords and noticed like 8 of them still had their original alternators sitting there. Grabbed one for $25 after a quick bench test with my multimeter, slapped it on my buddies Civic and it fired right up no issues. Anyone else find hidden gems like that buried in a specific yard?

Did you check under the alternators, @leoyoung?

So you're saying you WANT to trip over alternators every time you need a socket? Sounds like a great system for losing tools even faster.
