    Yeah those old computers were famous for having screws holding the drives on both sides. When I repaired them back then if I had to replace a drive or remove it I would only add screws to the front side for easier removal later if I needed to.

      Of course, I guess I should be thankful there were only two screws on the other side 🤣

    When I had the 74 i-series computers from the factory, I started taking the boards out of the CD-ROMs, but they were just tiny little 1"x1.5" boards, so I quit taking them apart and sold all 107 lbs of CDs as whole CD-ROM. Knowing they were all identical saved me time!!

      A very smart move on your part. The newer CDROMs can be a real waste of time.

    It’s so helpful to see the little stuff even if you don’t usually go for it. It helps to know what’s in there.

    6:39 We have been cracking down on that. Unfortunately we downgrade those boards rather drastically.

    Hey shark what happens with your EWaste clients now that you've moved up north?

    • @sharkscrapper
      @sharkscrapper  4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get anyone to take over my accounts. Sure hope someone comes along for them.

      @sharkscrapper I am a bit farther away. But if they get a pallet a week I will make the drive. Can you give me the price you paid? I have three local places. I have years worth to be processed. I micro scrap and recover the gold. I figured with gold prices going up if I overpay today it will be worth it next year. I am always on the lookout for more computers to keep my "retirement busy"

    • @richardhulbert9480
      @richardhulbert9480 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Give me a name and number. I will call and see if they have a dedicated buyer yet.

    • @richardhulbert9480

      Though I love gold recovery I started scrapping for whatever I could find. Picked up a mini fridge and cabinet mounted microwave plus a bag of DeWalt chargers today. First one I tried worked. That's $85 I love scrapping

      The only one that would come close to generating a pallet a week is S&S Recycling in Orange Park. You'll need to Google them for a number, I cleared my contact list after moving. I have no idea what they'd want these for PC's. I was paying anywhere from $0.20 to $0.25/lbs depending on market conditions. None of my other FL clients come close to generating a pallet a week.

    4:26 I will even give you the $0.10 tour....most folks only get the nickle treatment.

    This hurt me. I wanted that computer to restore..

    • @sharkscrapper
      @sharkscrapper  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Send me an email Rod and I’ll let you know when I get another. I’m happy to see PCs restored but when I list them they never get bought.

    Definitely like your videos but everyone here if you guys scrap electronics and musical equipment like pianos that I wouldn't I wouldn't even deal with the piano but organs are kind of worth it but watch the pins man any of the pins you take out of electronics as a razor sharp one just went through my foot😅😢
