Just started the same thing!
I've got so many parts/components I have no idea what I got or how many. Figured it was time to catalog it all. 😜

No, as it is full of personal notes. Maybe an edited list later on.
Anyway, there are just the latest things I need to repair some boards. Not boards or cpus, but smds and tht.
Crystals, resistances, roms... that kind.
Same as you, I want to save time.
My list is also full of components (crystals, resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, sockets and connectors, various ICs, etc.) and many notes to make things easier. That's the part I have the most trouble keeping track of. I took a tiny snippet of mine, seen below. I've got a way to go yet, I just got it started.
I have far more components for repairing old (and modern) boards than I do actual hardware. 😜
I also build retro homebrew computers like the Z80-MBC2 and PicoMite VGA, and use them for other electronic projects, so my component "collection" has grown significantly over the past few years.
