What to do with gear which is beyond repair?


Just put it away for ages? Open it and look for Black Gate caps to sell on eBay (I  remember a cheap Yamaha amp that was full of them)? Or what?

I recently tossed a couple of receivers, a CD player and tape deck after letting them get dusty.

Tube stuff I would strip.

I had a malfuncitoning amp with lots of SMDs, made out of country, that no one wanted to even look at so I gave it to someone who had an interest in fixing it. Sat around for the longest time, staring at me and when I finally off loaded it, I had that Marie Kondo moment and felt really good about it. 

All the best,
