- Well, I've started! As you guys have suggested, I'll try and commit to one item per week from my emergency storage shed! This first one was dropped off for ewaste ages ago and I seriously thought it was just scrap metal - but it turns out not so!
The playlist for this storage shed clean-out series can be found here..

Nice save, good make.
Well done Chris.
✌♥️🇬🇧
Thanks Les! 😊👍
It is called a A/V receiver. I have sold about five of them these past few years. I always look for them and buy them. Great video you have here.
Many thanks! 😊👍
Yeah mate bring it on should be good to see some of the interesting stuff you have to play with and rerstore ....................... Thumbs Up
Thanks BB! 👍😊
I like it. I just recently had to scrap out 2, 5 cd disc changers. It good to see working equipment from that era saved.
Thanks mate! I have a 5 disc CD player on my bench to do shortly as well! 👍😊
Good save. One box a week from the shed-of-dreams sounds great! 👍👍 Thanks
Haha, the shed of dreams! Great name! I should get a plaque made for over the door! 🤣
We can handle more videos like this, Chris. Once you sell this one, it will really be a Yamaha-ha-ha-ha! Funny thing that.
🤣🤣
The owners manual for it should be available online.
Glad you saved it.👍
Thanks, so am I! 😊
Nice start to the clean up Chris. Cleaning up the shed storage area will make a great series. I'll be watching.
Cheers NN 🤜🤛
It's going to force me to make decisions, which is a good thing - I think! 😲😆
Good idea. Keep it up
Now the pressure is on! 🤣
Thats fantastic mate, i always grab them i see them on the side of the road and try sell them on marketplace, theres always a buyer. 1 a week would be brilliant
Thanks FF. We'll see how it goes! I am looking forward to making some room!
Excellent another easy fix, lucky you that it was working. Hopefully it sells easily through the shop. I don't mind how you pick your items. Maybe you can pick jobs from different locations on a rotating schedule so that you continually get a bite at everything, it doesn't really matter, I'm sure they will be worth watching. 👍
I'll likely concentrate on the store shed for now but will still process other stuff as it comes in - and as it gets in my road from other spots! Thanks Alex 👍😊
Thank you for all of your videos. They're always really interesting and I'm actually learning stuff. Please keep them coming, I could easily handle a video per day!
Regards, Diane
Thanks Diane, appreciate the feedback. I'll be posting videos whenever they are ready! 😁
Very nice. One step at a time keep it up just think once a week a mystery item will be sold or scrapped but either way it will be gone.
Yep Wayne, decisions will be made live on camera! 😲😜
Great work 👏
Thanks James! 👍
It looks really good. Great job! keep them coming mate. Take whatever out of the shed. A box, a device. I am not a fan of the Maketa vids. I like seeing you unbox from the shed or the shop or do some magic like in this vid. The more the merrier.
Thanks Sarit! I'll still squeeze in the Makita ones when I get time even though they don't perform very well initially. They do help out people who search reviews like I do!
Give it a crack Chris, I'll tune in.
Thanks Longship! We will boldly go where no subscriber has gone before..
Nicely done👍
Thanks, you are really having a catch-up! 🤣
Yes keep it going. This one was pretty good 👍
Thanks BK. There should be an interesting variety! 👍
It surely put me under pressure to do the same in my very similarly clutted shed and my various on hold projects ! Good job.
Haha Sorry Retif - pressure on others is unintended! 🤣
@@TheUltimateRecycler it’s good pressure :-)
Hmm, come to think of it I've just started clearing the clutter from my garage/workshop too 🤔😆
Thank you
Thanks Cynthia! 😊
Hmm... given the amount of rust and unknown history as a 'shed amp' it might be perfect! But as a bedroom amp for a teenager who might fall asleep listening to the radio unaware that the insulation is breaking down and the previous owner found the safety risk and had already snipped the lead off...
Again it's probably fine, but just cleaning up the caked on muck to a nearly new look, kind of covers up its protentional to be a 'real risk'
I thought you had a PAT box to at least give it a quick test? I remember loving a 1950s/60s valve amp radio and playing it for months in the 'base' well away from the kids until it started to smolder and smoke, luckily I was around to catch it, but if I hadn't it might have burnt the school down 'again'
I'm just saying a $30 'bargain' might cost someone their house, business or worse!
For the record Martin, I did clean it up a little inside (didn't touch the rust as it was only on the bottom panel), and it has been tested and tagged with my PAT. I am safety conscious with anything electrical I sell.
I'm curious now on the stats of schools burning down in your neighbourhood.. 😉🤣
@@TheUltimateRecycler th-cam.com/video/hfF3w8RrETI/w-d-xo.html a few years before I started, but it was an expensive school to fix... one of the 3 oldest schools in the UK. th-cam.com/video/Mztsszo-87M/w-d-xo.html
I'm glad you do a proper test on your repairs, it's something that can be skipped and no one would be any the wiser.
@@martincowie4520 Thanks for the links! Very interesting. Started by a spark from a paint stripping gun! Expensive fix alright and such a shame all the history was lost!
@@TheUltimateRecycler That was actually the second fire within 6 months of a smaller fire that gutted two classrooms... so health and safety was fairly high on my job description lol
The rust and muck says to me it was maybe in a flood? Perhaps it was an insurance write off?
That's certainly possible Sam! Thanks for watching 😊
There is an old saying when picking up electronic scrap in the hard rubbish, " If it looks very dirty and neglected it will work and if it looks brand new there is a very good chance that it will not work." I have been never so lucky to pick up those yamaha amp/ receiver. I did pick up a pioneer amp/receiver like yours last weekend but the led display is not working so I cannot see what function I am using. Do you have any idea on how to fix it?
A pioneer amp is a good pickup Lucky! Not sure on the display issue - check all the capacitors first! They really are the weakest link in electronics! Even quite modern stuff. The radio repair I'm putting up today is only 12 years old, but needed 4 new caps!
@@TheUltimateRecycler The relay that switches on the amp does not work all the time so I unsoldered the relay and tested it on my bench, it worked every time. I was thinking of scrapping it until I looked it up on ebay pioneer (model vsx-517-K) audio/video receiver $ 620.00!
One a day time limited ,
Let's stick with one a week (plus other random videos!) 😁
