Tin Man, I just want to thank you so much for your simple explanations on scrapping!! For a beginner, I've learned so much from you!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to help us make scraping easier!! Your awesome!!!
Thank you for that huge compliment. I appreciate the comment and support. Stay well and happy scrapping
I take the heatsinks, transformers and copper / aluminium coils, wire off. Put any plastic covered transformers, copper coils in the freezer, it makes the plastic brittle and easier to smash up.
Thank you! I just did my first board tonight. I didn’t get a whole bunch, it was just a dish network box lol but I’m listening and learning from you! Keep the videos coming! Watching you all the way down in Alabama!
Thank you for your interesting & informative video. Always good to see different perspectives & different ways of scrapping..
Thank you for making this video it's very helpful thoughtful and managing through my through my solutions of vitals I have I like how you explain each item and what it may contain I'll be looking forward to future videos
I love your videos.Very well demonstrated
I love yourself it's very educational I learned a lot from it keep up the good work I went a long ways and computer scrapping now
Hello, Sweden here again.
I also take off some of the gold plated material, have a buyer for that. My regular yard pays flat rate for circuitboards, the other yard takes high grade boards only if 100kg minimum.
Those white slots on the red board, they do have gold but it's very lightly plated and it's gold over nickel over bronze so it's a different process and difficult to refine at home.
Stay safe and take care.
Thanks you too. 100kg is a lot but circuit boards to add up, since they are in all electronics. Stay well too
Love your videos keep up the awesome work my friend thank you 🙏
Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words. Stay well my friend.
Love this. Thanks for sharing
Are the silver contacts the copper colored circles inside that create the pop sound or is the silver the square guard around the button?
I like just taking transformers apart,to get the copper. While i watch movies,etc.
Tin man: what are header pins from circut boards made of? Silver or aluminum? These are the pins in the long plastic- that are solder to the board where a slave connector or ribbon conects. Thanks
Great help as I didn't have a clue
Glad you found it useful
Hey at 2:40 those plastic boxes (volt relays) are worth cracking open they have copper and sometimes gold or gold contacts
If it’s not gold it’s a different yellow metal but I’m 99% sure it’s gold and if it is electronics usually use 24k gold
4:39 its I believe called copper windings and volt relays have them
I have TVs, PC towers and Laptops, one scrap yard pays for laptops as of 2023 Jan $3 each if complete screen not cracked (or 25 cents a pound) , another scrap place gives me 60 cents a pound. Desktops same thing $3.50 to $5 each if includes a hard drive and memory stick. the TV boards I think were 35 cents a LB. I might start cutting the contacts off the edge, but so far I have just been scrapping them as is. Oh and TVs no one takes because of the glass, just pull the boards.
great info my frined ;)
Thanks Johnny. Stay well my friend
Just watched another vid,under the green layer on the boards are gold plating-give it a good scratch somewhere with a knife.
I am sorting through thousands of electronics lately. I got a deal working for an elderly man and he owned his own business repairing high grade barcode scanners. I am finding a lot of high grade. At first I was taking each one apart. Then found out using a hammer is faster since Im scraping them anyways
Nice score, some great items on circuit boards for sure. Happy scrapping and thanks for the comment
Most of those black ceramic chips have a good amount of gold in them
Hi, How do you take the silver contacts off? How do youseparate them? Thanks
Eventually I will use nitric acid and separate the silver from the rest of the materials. However, you need to store up a lot before you do it for enough to get a nice size bullion
That round heat sink that you picked up has a large piece of copper inside.
hi, thankyou for your informative video, I want to ask is it gold? or brass? the mid range boards Ive been thinking they were brass?
Mid range is brass. High grade will have gold. Motherboards from computer towers and flatscreen TVs are high grade
where do you usually get the boards? do you buy them online or scout around for them?
Get them from electronics and appliances I find on garbage day.
I think you gave great info but am just starting out if you could do a full detail of which is what on the boards for newbie pls I know other scrappers know what everything is but some are just learning pls
Alot information like video
Thank you. Stay well.
Can I depopulate the whole board by soaking it all in HCI
From what places and how do you acquire these different kinds of circuit boards that you scrap? Do you have to buy it from a landfill?
lots of electronics and appliances I find and take apart have different kinds of circuit boards. Have never bought them, just from scrapping.
Mr Tin Man, the small components is there any value in saving these? I read about some parts that contain palladium. Will you please elaborate.
I actually have a video called “depopulating circuit boards for gold, palladium, silver” check that one out. It talks about micro scrapping as well as shows you places to find the precious metals and what to look for.
Does anyone have any experience with selling all grades of scrap boards and processors to FCM in Montreal? It is difficult for Canadians as I live in a border community but you basically have to part the sea to get them into the States. I would prefer anywhere along the 401 corridor . I live 100 km west of London Ont. Any feedback would be helpful. I took about 6000 lbs three years ago to Greentec in Cambridge, but that didnt go very smooth.
How do you remove the silver contacts?🐎🌻✌️
Can you please let me know what the thin silver coloured wiring in low grade boards is made of
Either aluminium or coated copper. If you scratch with a file and copper underneath #2 copper, if scratch and silver it is aluminum
thanks
Would like more info on the silver components
Actually going to do another video on silver contacts very soon.
where do you get all of your boards? do you buy them? all from collecting while scrapping or what?
Just from scrapping various electronics and appliances
If a board is broken will most scrap yards still take it?
At my yard yes, since I don’t get much for them. I think it depends on yard, but if it is a pile of boards, I say yes everywhere. They just might not give high grade
Hi! I'm a brand new beginner at this and I've been trying to get the circuit board listed in a different TH-cam video. Is there an alternative to this green pcb board for building diy mp3 player in the following? Video is simply called How to make Mp3 player at Home ! By Mr. Maker. Feel free to check it and get back to me. I'm so clueless.
Thank you for help!
Actually not sure about remaking or building things with circuit boards, I just scrap them. Sorry, but I will check out the video.
@@TinManScrapper ok thanks
I'll take the fans off your hands for ya
What if the boards are broken or have a hole from ripping off a heat sink. Are trash or what?
At my scrapyard I have brought them in completely destroyed and they take them. I put them in a big bag. It may vary by province or country, but I think the yards are more concerned with the materials on the board and the metal recovery than the condition of the board. If your hare separates your board into the 3 categories, taking stuff off may downgrade your board but that is it
@@TinManScrapper thanks!
Does it matter if the boards are broke or in pieces ?
Nope, especially because not worth a lot. I have brought them in a box in a several pieces and never an issue
I save boards but had no idea what to do with them. I heard there was a company that you could send them to called board sort. Doesn’t pay much. I'm wondering though if you could go to a jewelry store and they could melt and buy from you(we have some around us that buy gold). I'm not sure if they would take gold from boards but might be worth checking into if you have those kinds of places there.
They would say not enough. I have seen some use high concentrated vinegar to dissolve the gold off the board parts. I am going to have to try that. I am not sure if board source.com would take from me in Canada. Shipping would probably be insane.
I have a local ewaste buyer near me in Texas. They treat it like a scrap yard and will buy whatever you bring them. I’ll store up a 55gallon drum and then take it in,
Fio de cobre ¿?
@8:30 "I'm going to go ahead and put on my safety glasses(goggles)🥽 togo with my safety sandals 🩴😂😅😊lol
Lol, I sometimes always got hit in the eyes so for me safety glasses are necessary. I do wear better foot protection when doing some more heavy scrapping
I’m very confused are you telling me that all I have to do is save 1 pound of the gold on mother bolts and I can get $60,000? Since that’s the price for gold for 1 pound
Any components you shouldn’t open, due to toxic, or poison, in it?
No, it is when you start melting or using chemicals to refine that toxins start to be omitted
god's work.
Is how do you take to
Sorry, not sure what you are trying to ask?
i love you give me your kidneys
Are there toxic chemicals in these when the board breaks? Should gloves be worn? I want to collect all the Silver and avoid the Middle Man. I know there is good money to be made. I worked in a Print Shop and silver was extracted from " fountain solution" . In Printing- Oil ( The Ink) and Water ( Fountain Solution) don't mix ( they separate).
it does depend on how you break them, I use a pair of tin snips and it does not release any type of dust. However, if you use a grinder, there is dust that becomes airborne and you will want to wear a mask and have a ventilated area for protection
Camera angle hurts the brain.
Sorry, I can't rotate my screen by 90°
I don’t like the word scrappers , 😂…… How about ( Prospectors)😂❤
I like the sound of prospector! Stay well.
Um e waste eh but your grading it as materials. Thought it was component recycle/re use..
And every component has their uses different scraper all to gether not just metals... common their messing up the recycling of lithium.. look up black gold and pay attention till they say it gets burned off
Its pronounced "Alu-min-i-um", not aloomunum
Depends on where you live. Like potato is pronounced differently too.
Good one.
Thats crumbs yall should see how i scrap
Put a video up then
@@TinManScrapper show us then
Waste of time it would be ok if you could recycle some of the components but that would require investment.
Yup, I do take off gold and silver contacts.....hoping when retire gold worth a lot more. Just glad they don’t go in landfill
The time you took to wrote this comment was…. A waste of time. Yet here we are.
your scrapping guides are very primitive, all you focus is on copper. you aren't saying about tantalum capacitors, diodes, transistors, or the solder used on the board which contains 3 percent silver (lead free silver only). But all you are seeing is copper. Forget about palladium, gallium, platinum and advanced stuff like that. Only glittering matters for you, gold and copper. Take a time and see the manufacturing process of electronic components, will give you at least general level of education as a scrapper.
If you read the title it says for beginners. My other videos show other items like silver, aluminum (both clean and extrusion), brass, etc. some want to know basic questions like what category to put them in, where to find various ones, etc.
Welp, can't watch this one for any helpful info... the screen, playing on my big screen TV, is about the size of my freaking tablet... what a waste of time. 🙄
