Here I have a video of 10kg of power circuit boards and what I take of them for aluminium and copper plus few other items I take of and add to my stock pile
I’m happy you learned a thing or two from my video ,I will be doing a more detailed video at some point about what to take of various types of circuit boards for precious metals recovery , have a good weekend 👍
Personally, I like low grade boards with the big chunks of Aluminum, copper and other components. If they all go into low grade at the scrapyard, I might as well pick off things and they still go into low grade.
I like low grade boards to for copper , aluminium and few other items , I used to depopulate all low grade boards , but changing how I do it now if the boards doesn’t have much on it I might take odd little thing off and leave the rest and put it on low grade pile to sell , but if they have a lot on the boards then completely strip the board , I’ve not done any videos for nearly 2 weeks as I’ve been ill but getting back on recording over next few days , and will be doing a video on how I’m changing up what I do with low grade boards
Quick question, those little blue rubber coated things on the boards,. What are those? And what’s inside them? I’m normally not a micro scrapper, so I usually just toss the boards in whole. But I’m definitely curious what those things are😳😀👍🏻. Greetings from the deserts of Az!! Steve.
Hi Steve , they are a type of capacitor some of them contain silver ( some types contain other precious metals too ) especially on older boards , I take of the various colours , blue,black , yellow , beige, brown and green , there is a great channel on here called 999dusan he does precious metal refining he had done videos on the precious metals that they contain , I save them all up when I have a decent weight of them I’ll send them to a refiner here in Uk to recover the precious metals , Hope that helps 😁👍
@@rixismetals Thanks for explaining, I will give the other guy a look. And the UK! I figured that’s where you were from just by the way, you said aluminum😀. But I wasn’t sure! Thanks again my friend.! Steve
Those are some really clean looking boards, man! They're usually full of grime and dust, 🤢 Have you ever gotten grief from sounding to quiet? I incinerate my MOSFETS, then crush the leftovers to leave the nice copper you speak of. The heat helped amalgamate the gold that they contain.
I have around 600kg of power boards and they are all clean just like those ,I’ve been lucky so far and no one give me grief yet which to be honest I am surprised I use my iPhone at moment to make my videos , think I better look into getting a GoPro or something so I can record better sounding videos, I’m waiting till I have about 10Kg of mosfets before I do that I’ve got about 6kg at moment , have you got a video on here of you doing your mosfets ?
@rixismetals . Where did you get them all from? Your soft spokeness reminds me of when I started out and man did I get some grief! No complaints from me, though, just to be clear, haha. Perhaps a wireless microphone you can clip to your shirt, maybe? Yes, I do have a video showing how I do MOSFETS. I'll try and link it in these comments if you'd like?
@@MicroScraprMike I’ve been collecting them for a few years , plus I have a friend and his brother that both own tv repair shops they let me have there boards , plus he has about 30 flat screen tv at his place if I want those lol I’ll try my next video and wear my AirPods see if that works better if not I’ll look into getting mic clip onto my top , sure add link to the video mate , thank you
I tear down most of my low grade boards mostly because I really enjoy doing it ( more so then the value of doing it) but I think I’m going to sort through as I do it and the ones with not much on leave them as low grade boards and tear down the ones that have a lot on ( for my enjoyment lol) thanks for the sub mate ,

I don’t know much about micro scrap but I learned a thing or two from you

@@rixismetals awesome
Excellent video
Thank you

Nice video style. I learned more about e-recycling then 50 other videos. Looking forward to what knowledge you have to share. 21st subscriber.
I’m glad you liked the video, thank you for subscribing

@rixismetals . It's under the Playlist copper recovery, and it's titled incinerating MOSFETS.

@@MicroScraprMike thanks I’ll go look for it now
I used to tear them down. Now they are just low grade boards. Just subbed i thought i already did.

What the f is a kilogram and who gives a damn
