<p>I see that you do not have boombox on your website, I would like to take apart my old boombox, but need to know if there are any safety concerns, such as mercury, or any other chemicals to be aware of. Thanks! Es</p>

<p>I don't think so, nothing in there is going to immediately harm you chemical-wise unless you put it in a blender, microwave, or garbage disposal. Watch out for big capacitors, as they can shock you pretty bad, be cautious and avoid touching one terminal with your left hand at the same time that you touch the other with your right hand. </p>
