Thank you for the reply. I think the test option sounds best. That way I no waht I have for sure. I found an old dryer switch of some type that is a round plastic thing kinda looks like a wind up music box insides and it has about 25 little fingers that all have a little tab of something that is absolutely some sort of electrical switch. I can see where a short happend. But thank you for your vids.
You should add to the key words "How a bunn coffee maker works". Surprisingly there aren't many videos you can find on that. I was curious if there was some kind of siphon principle going on. Surprisingly it seems to be much simpler than that. The cold water is directed toward the bottom of the reservoir and that pushes the hot water out the top. It looks like they make the hole small enough so that turbulence doesn't mix them together. Simple ideas like that are awesome.
Crikey that is a decent piece of scrap there with the chunk of aluminium and stainless steel. If it was a coffee machine for the Aussie market it'd be made of steel, aluminium wire and barbed wire.
Keep up the good work . Please dwell on what type of metal each individual peace is . I'm just starting out ; I'm disabled and need to make a little extra cash . Thanks again
Nice camera! There's a little bit of everything in coffee makers, well worth tearing down. During curb side cleanup last year I think I got about 30. I have about 5 left. I think I am gonna finish them today.
can use please talk more about silver contacts? I have about 1000 switches and I would like to know how to pop them off without destroying them... also I am finding metal that is NON magnetic that had been used as a connector but the pieces are quit big.. one of them came from a cordless drill. and one of its batteries.. Im guessing I have no silver but stainless steel of shiny aluminum..thank you for any reply and thank you for the great vids.
There are a lot of things that look like silver and unfortunaty are not. When in doubt, best to test it. Acid test kits are pretty cheap and you can also find great info on line as to weather or not something is silver or not. I often find things that are silver plated copper pieces, especially in circuit breakers. I will try to put together a vid on popping off the silver contacts. Thanks!
It depends on the maching, some are made with a lot of stainless steel and that can get about 75 cents per lb, some have a lot of copper in them, it varies a lot from model to model. If its a home model like this one then you will not make more than $5 with it...about.... SO you would have to decide if its worth it or not for you. If not, there are loads of scrappers out there whou would be glad to recycle it so post it on craigs list or something. Happy New year!
I have not found any copper heating elements yet. They seem to all be a ferrous alloy with a type of cemented material for a core. I throw them in with the light iron. Thanks!
There are a few kinds of heating elements. Most like the once from stoves are a ceramic core and either a blend of metals that could include nickel, molybdenum, chromium, and iron.
+Moose Scrapper So out of boredom I scrapped a coffee maker today (not the same one) and around what looked to be the heating element there was this grey/white paste that I got alot of on my hands and while most is off I got some still (very hard to remove). Is this stuff probubly dangerous at all?

Mmmm, that would open the door to questions requiring a level of knowledge that I wish I had.... but thanks for watching!
Great Video! Love the new camera & lighting.
Loving the vids man, keep up the good work.

the tank is stainless
nice new camera :)
Love the new camera. What is the heating element made of and how do you scrap that?
Mot heating elements in these things are some kind of irony aluminum. These are just heating wires wrapped aound the reservoir.
Thanks moose!!!
How much is all of that scrap worth? I've got a broken Bunn and want to know if it's worth my time. Never scrapped before. Thanks!

wonder if the guts of that thing could be used as a minnie still?
3:09 Well you see there's your problem right there.
What do you do with heating elements? Copper tube but steel down the center?

esta muy bueno una traduccion al español seria una gran ayuda gracias por apartar tiempo para ayudarnos
HOW CAN YOU TELL DIF BETWEEN STAINLESS STEEL NO IRON, AND ALUMINUM? AND WHATS THE SWITCH GO FOR?
what r heating elements made off i got a few out of stoves
There are a few kinds of heating elements. Most like the once from stoves are a ceramic core and either a blend of metals that could include nickel, molybdenum, chromium, and iron.
What is the heating element made of?
It varies, often times its a ferrous alloy with somtimes cobalt, nickel, etc, with a ceramic core.
