Ben, that's the perfect house to just make an offer on the entire property and then go through it all one video at a time!! Then you could do a house renovating series and finally sell it off for a huge profit!!
couldnt close my mouth for 10 min. this is insane! what a dreamland! thank you for sharing this with the world. i bet ewaste ben will end up in a documentary one day
OMG what an amazing score. You could spend a year scrapping all of that. I helped clean out a hoarder house once. It's so hard for people who don't suffer from hoarding syndrome to understand. And we scrappers need to be careful that we don't become hoarders. Looking forward to seeing what you find to keep in your collection.
I think hoarding syndrome is complex, many possible underlying causes. I respect hoarders but there's a point I think they may take it over the top and I don't understand that level. But this guy was also an electrical repair man, he worked for the military ordinance factory as an electrical engineer, there's a hundred super technical books on electronics he had, I think he was a genius but an eccentric
@@eWasteBen ironically, it doesn't look like he repaired anything. However, also ironically, it looks like a bomb went off in his house. The thing is, he could probably tell you where everything was.
I wouldgo right back there..I would stop somewhere and get me a trailer..fill the.. van and a trailer...I'm going nuts. Your ship has come in dude don't miss it
RENT A CUBE TRUCK OR SOMETHING, I would never leave. I would be there overnight looking at items. searching for stashes in every corner of that house!!
I'm glad you're recovering all of that e waste. I fix vintage electronics, too. The only non-scrap value of that haul would be tearing down every PC to component parts and selling pieces over many years on eBay. That would require selling the items as untested or tons of labor testing components. I see no museum pieces there. For museum pieces you're looking for complete items that were expensive in their day. Most of that stuff was mid to low end in its day. People who are creating vintage PCs want to build something that they could not afford back in the day, so the highest end components are what you're looking for. For example I recently bought a top of the range Socket 370 processor from 20 years ago and I paid about $70 US for it. You're lucky to get $5 (scrap value after fees) for most Socket 370 processors. Hope this provides some insight into the importance of recycling. Most people buy low end or slightly better than low end junk that's good for a few years and is then is forever worth scrap value.
ive had a few jobs like this and got just as excited as you did Ben, thanks for sharing this video with us man, really enjoyed it, thanks Ben, from Essex in England
At around the 31:50 mark that’s an old 8 inch floppy drive, possibly Shugart brand? On the corner of the drive that’s the motor that turned the flywheel and floppy, not a transformer. Also regarding the oscilloscopes you should grab any Hewlett-Packard or Tektronix brand test equipment you see there. Both are good for gold chip and transistor content, plus some Tektronix scopes (the ones with the partially ceramic CRT) have gold coating on the inside of the CRT.
that poor guy never got to taste the spoils of his haul...good on you ben,you're the perfect person to recieve and appreciate what he had..lucky man bro!
I am having to deal with my 84-year-old father and his hoarding habits with scrap on his private property, When he bought his house 48 years ago having a scrapyard at home was no big deal, but now they are building million-dollar houses all around him and he doesn't understand why he has to clean his yard up.
Omg how awesome Ben definitely a find of a lifetime looking forward to seeing part 2 this is way better than street .scraping and I enjoy street scraping just love the old pc good luck with it all Ben
Wow, I've worked with hoarders in my hypnosis practice. The condition doesn't make sense to non hoarders but all I have is compassion for them. Most clients finish in a few sessions. Hoarding is incredibly complicated. Hoarders have to think of a year of weekly appointments. In the end, I'd bet the hoarder would be glad you are making good use of that stash.
@@eWasteBen You will get more for selling them complete than scrapping them. Please look into selling them complete before you scrap these old systems. There are a lot of collectors for these old systems and some are worth several hundred a piece.
100% ben i would drive down from Sydney and buy some of those pc's from you. The are worth more than the gold content by far! Even some slot cards can sell for hundreds of dollars.
wow awesome score watch over there Ben there is a very thin line between a scrapper and a hoarder lol, and that crunchy caps has good potential for silver recovery👍😀👍
Amazing so many quality electronic components, I can’t imagine what will be trashed, but great you are able to get your piece of the lions share. Can’t wait for part 2! Oh congrats on 100k subs Ben!!
Not only an incredibly awesome pick up , but the future content videos is just mind boggling i cant wait to see what's next .................... Thumbs Up
those vintage game systems can be worth big bucks even damaged they still bring a nice sum of cash,i'd go back to that house and load up again and again and again and again that house is a once in a lifetime find may not be another!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!Mind blown, I have seen hoarders homes. But this one WOW!!!!!!! Hope you find a stash of CPUs. Stay safe, A friend in Pennsylvania USA Robin Jo
Wasn’t over excited until the amstrad 1640 popped up. Started my career with the first PC in the company where I work, a 1512 with a 10mb winchester drive :-)
The Amstrad 1640 is a good example of what NOT to scrap. I'd bet the matching monitor is sitting there somewhere. If I was there I'd have concentrated on the CRTs, especially anything with multi pins, colour, rgb, ttl, or serial 'glass' terminals. Ben before you start scrapping anything please please check with the collectors groups!
I agree with you Ben, you've pretty much just said what I said in my first comment, you were supposed to get these, they were supposed to go to somebody who would truly appreciate them, save some and process the rest properly! I hope you got yourself back there straight away, unload, fill up, unload and fill up while you can!!
On that Piggybacked WYSE processor board you showed about the 20:05 minute mark, there should be a nice CLCC processor chip in the socket underneath that little square metal retaining cover. Maybe an 80186 or 80286?
Others have probably said so already but the memory card at 44:30 is from a DEC PDP-11, and is worth keeping or selling (plenty of collectors scanning ebay globally). These PDP cards come in dual, quad and hex finger combinations - this card is a dual. Anything that looks like it's from an older computer, if you're interested you can put (or put a link to) an image onto the cctech or cctalk mailing list and someone there will probably recognise it and respond ..
999 Dusan might be able to answer your question about that green capacitor! I remember he did one of his videos with a green capacitor like that and it had a good amount of silver! Maybe some palladium. He would know forsure. This is an absolutely incredible find! Looking forward to part 2 as well. Have a Great Day My Friend!!
That was a bloody awesome find mate, what a score! We could feel your excitement. Get the biggest trailer you can find and load up, over'n'over again while ya can! Cheers
look both to be PDP cards. Even the plastic clips are collectable. Also note a number of MFM drives, tho they have been thrown around a bit too much for my liking :(
Should pile all those vintage PC ,s and place an add to sell them . Would make way more than selling for gold .even some monitors I saw are sorte after . I would buy a couple of computer
it will be interesting to see what you bring back with you I wish I was there with you Ben great video it doesn't matter how long the video runs for the longer the better imagine finding a couple of boxes of CPUs would be great. can't wait for your next video
Lol 😂 I just love this video it’s the second time I have seen it I just love the excitement in your voice and you creaming your pants going through the computers. Best wishes from the uk 🇬🇧👍👍
Wow. What a haul. Good luck cleaning your garage!!!🤣🤣🤣 Werry fun video. Just bust your ass out on this,get ås much ås you can, do all nighter if you maige. Gonna be worth it in the end. And som many videos to come. Si happy for you getting this treasure chest
Thanks to A-Tech Recyclers for passing this job onto me
You struck GOLD literally 😳👍
I wish I had just a little bit of that luck brother 🤣👊🏻
@@streetcopper1151 yes very rare indeed. His excitement can be felt 👊
@@ScrapMetalTV. yes sir I thought at one point he was shaking with excitement .. what a great day for Ben
I would personally fill that 20 foot bin up and have it delivered to my house. Congratulations for your find.
I was thinking the same thing.
I know what to do for my rubbish removal business. Dedicated e waste bin.
Ben, that's the perfect house to just make an offer on the entire property and then go through it all one video at a time!! Then you could do a house renovating series and finally sell it off for a huge profit!!
I feel another scrap marathon coming up. It would be great to so you dive into all this vintage material.
From streetscrapping to housescrapping.... 😜 amazing
Never been so jealous in my entire life, looking forward to the next dozen episodes
Ben - if you begin hoarding we'll know the spirit of that guy has processed you 🤣
Heh, not likely, I love hoarding some stuff but I also enjoy clear space and normality.
@@eWasteBen OK, we'll keep an eye on you for a while just to make sure 😆
Hoarders always inspire me to sort out my own place for time to time. Good on you Ben for recycling all the electronics.
It is so much to grab. Don't know what to take first. Well if that happen to me.😜
Hoarding is when the whole house and yard is cramped with old stuff never to be scrapped sold or processed. don't confuse scrapping with hoarding.
couldnt close my mouth for 10 min.
this is insane! what a dreamland! thank you for sharing this with the world. i bet ewaste ben will end up in a documentary one day

The thing is, he could probably tell you where everything was.
You are just the right man, not only to appreciate it yourself, but showing off the guys stash for the world to see. Cool stuff man.
My eyes, my eyes!!! Don't know how you did it Ben. I had sensory overload big time!!! Amazing. Enjoyed 👍👍
Ben your excitement is contagious looking forward to many videos to come. Thanks
Absolutely an amazing vintage find. Can't wait for part 2
I’m speechless right now .. good things happen to good people brother .. congrats on truly and score of a life time 👊🏻
Omg !!! I’m in heaven !!! I’ll be watching this vid many times lol. Ty

You found abandoned hoarders houses full of vintage electronics in Essex??!! 😲

OMG - the vintage bits I could see, can only imagine what is out of sight !!
Another great video. Can't wait to see part two!
I'm 67 and I remember those old PC's. Giant hard drives were 20MB-50MB LOL! Good luck Ben from Missouri,USA! Love the videos !
that poor guy never got to taste the spoils of his haul...good on you ben,you're the perfect person to recieve and appreciate what he had..lucky man bro!
Having dealt with a hoarder house before, Good luck and watch you don’t hurt your back.
Well i think u wanted to say "...and scratch your back" ;)

Wow that’s a once in a lifetime haul. Well done Ben the old fella made sure it went to someone who appreciates this stuff
As an urban explorer and vintage electronics/PC enthusiast- This is literally a wet dream! 😲😍
Great score, I hope you can get a couple more loads this is a find of a lifetime.
Great haul buddy and I see a scrap marathon coming lol
I sense some scrap-marathons coming in the near future .... ;)
Woohoo! Yes let's do it vintage style

Id love to save some of those beautiful old systems from being scraped
You break my heart ben
some will be kept, most I'll scrap their guts out

Nice haul!
Wow Ben, what a score! You certainly hit the e-waste lottery!
wow the motherload thanks for sharing Ben
those vintage game systems can be worth big bucks even damaged they still bring a nice sum of cash,i'd go back to that house and load up again and again and again and again that house is a once in a lifetime find may not be another!
I ran into something like this.not quite as much but everything was pre 1992.. it's amazing the size of the fingers compared to new stuff
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!Mind blown, I have seen hoarders homes. But this one WOW!!!!!!! Hope you find a stash of CPUs. Stay safe, A friend in Pennsylvania USA Robin Jo

I know this video is old but I think you are absolutely correct this guy wanted his collection to go to you and people who appreciate it
👍what a pickup that was I can’t wait to see some of those opened up and to see what the next load brings👍
Wow it's fantastic . Good .

Once in a lifetime! Congrats!
That is one big score!! Congrats Ben! Keep the awesome work.
BTW 35:58 this is a big 8inch floppy disc. US military still uses them in some spots.
That was a bloody awesome find mate, what a score! We could feel your excitement. Get the biggest trailer you can find and load up, over'n'over again while ya can! Cheers
The slot card you pick out the van at 59:22 looks to be similar in origin as the epic gold slot card.
look both to be PDP cards. Even the plastic clips are collectable. Also note a number of MFM drives, tho they have been thrown around a bit too much for my liking :(
Congrats on 100k subscribers! Awesome haul. Makes me want to branch out to more people to get more e-waste. God bless from Salt Lake City, Utah USA.
Finally got time to enjoy the video.. thanks Ben always awesome
Should pile all those vintage PC ,s and place an add to sell them .
Would make way more than selling for gold .even some monitors I saw are sorte after .
I would buy a couple of computer
Wow Ben great lifetime opitunity wish I was there would love to help you collect it all great video as usual 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Every scrappers dream 😍
MEGA SCORE!! I'm sure you'll be keeping a few of those devices and boards for your own collection!! Excellent finds!!
it will be interesting to see what you bring back with you I wish I was there with you Ben great video it doesn't matter how long the video runs for the longer the better imagine finding a couple of boxes of CPUs would be great. can't wait for your next video
Excellent find. Now you know what your garage will look like if you do not get busy on clearing it......
Lol 😂 I just love this video it’s the second time I have seen it I just love the excitement in your voice and you creaming your pants going through the computers. Best wishes from the uk 🇬🇧👍👍
Brilliant find, looking forward to the next updates the longer the better 👍
Awesome!
Someday you should do a video of your collection.
Nice way to celebrate 100k sub! Cheers Ben!! From Italy
The flat capacitors are "disc ceramic" capacitors. They have some silver deposited on each side of the ceramic disc.
Ok, Thanks, just wanted to make sure they weren't palladium type capacitors
Congratulations on 100K Ben, that’s awesome mate!
Wow.great find
At 28:30 those are just ceramic disc capacitors. Only a bit of aluminum and smidgen of silver in them.
Hell!!! This house is a gold mine for any wholesaler real estate investor!!!
Freaking unreal!! Better get to stacking that stuff Ben, that opportunity will pass to quickly to wait. Congrats brother!!!
That IBM dual floppy looks like both an 8.5" and a 5.25" dual drive system. The 8.5" discs look just like the 5.25" ones
Wow. What a haul. Good luck cleaning your garage!!!🤣🤣🤣
Werry fun video. Just bust your ass out on this,get ås much ås you can, do all nighter if you maige. Gonna be worth it in the end. And som many videos to come. Si happy for you getting this treasure chest
Amazing score.i wouldn't be able to sleep knowing all that was sitting there.👍♻️
Ben ,what you picked up is better than driving all over the city for e-waste
WOW. Can't wait for Your next videos
Makes me want to get into e waste recycling as a hobby.
so many memories already
“I might actually keep this one!” - what every hoarder used to say before they became hoarders! Resist the urge Ben!
🤣 thats so true
