  • These Cisco Catalyst 2926 series of switches are great for gold recovery items like ic chips & flat packs.
    These ones have reached end of life and are common with IT Departments so keep an eye for these guys as there's some great stuff in them as well as all cisco items.
    At the end the second main board has huge mlcc's, grade 1 and will contain high grade palladium & silver.

    I found good telcom boards like that in a couple of dumpsters. They both seemed like collections that were thrown out. The one dumpster had 7 valuable vintage computers and like a hundred boards. The other had everything from radios to rack servers completely filled the dumpster twice. I hope to find more of these type of clean outs! I looked for 2 months and didn't find anything then all in a few weeks I found a bunch.

    Nice Find!! those are the tipes of boards most wanted.i get exited every time i find one like that. good video you have a lot of work to do, keep those videos comming. i`m also saving any good board and depopulating by hand with very sharped spatulas of diferent sizes and a smal hammer. but your method or air chissel is faster. lets make a mountain of boards. Them we will be the miners of that mountain and at last, be refiners.

    Hiding the screws under the label is a good way to make something tamper evident. I see it on hard drives now, one screw under the label.

    Thank you for mentioning the amount of money you can get for it. That is the interesting part. I'm always curious to know how much time you have to spend and how much money you can make of it. Please mention (if possible) the approximate amount you're expecting to get from things you're decomposing. Thanks~!

    Great video, eWaste Ben! The yellow components with multiple legs are known as resistor networks, and not IC Chips. That is why they are labeled RN. Hope this information helps you!

    Great vid! I recently had an odd and old (1976 date on it) data memory board with little on it but thick, gold colored pins around the entire edge and gold legged IC's (which I hadn't run across until now). The pins barely move at all with my strongest neodymium magnet. Do you think these would be brass instead of gold? I only depopulated them last night so I haven't dug into them again but thought I'd check with you as well! Thanks!

    • @eWasteBen

      I'd imagine gold plating over either tin, brass or copper, hard to say but don't think straight out brass.

    Those 68xxx Motorola processors are worth 25 bucks for 68040, 30 bucks for 68030 and almost 100 bucks for 68060. They are used in Amiga and Atari turbo cards. And those cards are still in production. Dont destroy 68040 pls, it is EC version, still 25 $.

    Probably better parting out the boards around Melbourne to users, or indeed overseas (NZ, Can, USA, S.A. etc, etc).

  • @zackcat276
    @zackcat276 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Are you sure those yellow things with the multiple legs are tantalum capacitors? Capacitors only have 2 legs, one positive, one negative. I don't know what those multiple leg things are, but I don't think tantalum. I'm interested to know what they are.

    • @eWasteBen
      @eWasteBen  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +zackcat276 they're resistors, but I did mention that in the video

    • @zackcat276
      @zackcat276 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +eWaste Ben Ok sorry I missed that. They're definitely not tantalum then, correct?... I've been trying to research ewaste scrapping so I'm commenting to learn, not to criticise your video. Just wanted to point that out. I have learned a lot from your videos. thanks and keep them going

    • @eWasteBen
      @eWasteBen  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      definitely not tantalum, maybe ruthenium being thick film resistors I think

    • @zackcat276
      @zackcat276 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +eWaste Ben Ok thanks

    • @20kilovolt
      @20kilovolt 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +eWaste Ben 103 means .01µF so i think its a capasitor the multiple leg is because there is the same type of capacitor is used so it is cheaper to combine 8 capacitors in 1 part they call this a capacitor network array or resistor network array.
      Search in google for the datasheet number below or above the 103 on this part for example:
      "411gr-001 datasheet"

    • @eWasteBen
      @eWasteBen  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Manoel Ramon there's a whole lot of things going on in scrapping before we go for gold, gold is the cream on the top and it takes some time to accumulate, but end of the day the idea is to make some cash scrapping whilst we build up gold nest eggs for the future.

    • @manoelramon8283
      @manoelramon8283 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yeah.. I am asking because there is a lot of these equipment near by my house.... I would like to have some idea

  • @pacoblancosmith
    @pacoblancosmith 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wouldn't think they are pure brass either....they're 40 years old and would be oxidized like crazy. They probably haven't been in any system for 20+ years. Have you tried reverse electroplating yourself?

    • @eWasteBen
      @eWasteBen  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      no I haven't but would be good to try

    • @JohnDoe-gm5qr
      @JohnDoe-gm5qr 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      If they are brass, a drop of acid will remove the tarnish and reveal that. Gold does not tarnish.

  • @victorrivera8910
    @victorrivera8910 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    do you know who buys tantalum capacitors in bulk. I have about an ounce and a half of them. heard they sell for about $75 an ounce.

    • @eWasteBen
      @eWasteBen  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Victor Rivera no, tantalum isn't worth that much and 1.5 oz is not bulk

  • @aga5897
    @aga5897 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    The yellow bits with lots of legs are just resistor arrays.
    They have many resistors inside them, that's all.
    Tants have just two legs.
    Cisco stuff tends to use only tant caps, mostly the old 'blob' style which are also yellow.
