- Scrapping vintage computers are a lot more interesting than the modern stuff.
Lot's of good bits for gold recovery.

Wikipedia: turbo button is a button which provides two run states for the computer: normal speed or an enhanced "turbo" speed. It was relatively common on personal computers using the Intel 80286, Intel 80386 and Intel 80486 processors, from the mid 1980s to mid 1990s.
The miniscribe hard drive is a collector, quite valuable, keep it complete !
RIP
One of the fist non MFM drives. The same one sold on Ebay two weeks ago for 289usd, untested.
You should sell the vintage computes or parts as meny people would like them to keep there old vintage computes going, you have found some interesting computers!
You must be new here. Stick around and he will tell you why he doesn't sell stuff to people. He's a scrapper, not a collector.
@@TechGorilla1987 He'd get more money for those bits as parts I think. Defeats the money aspect.
@@realgroovy24 I fully understand where you're coming from, my friend. When I first started watching Ben, I would scream at the monitor that he should "sell that stuff!" Over time, I have come to realize that Ben has been there and done that. He's been doing this for a number of years. He understands the value of things, but he also understands that his time is more valuable that eBaying the fancy bits.
If you look back through is videos, he details various stories of trying to sell things on eBay. Yes, the item may be valuable to some, but the number of people surfing eBay for ancient items isn't all that high. He DOES keep some rare and cool stuff though. He's got a collection that he needs to show off! :D
destruction into scrap!
Nice scrap session. Oldie but goodies. The factory place is looking marvelous too. Those boxes are right handy. Now the chooks have got new territory to scrap in. I truly enjoyed 👍
Fantastic progress 😎 Appreciate the update 😉
Love the vintage scraps!!!
Keep your eyes peeled for some of the 16 bit sound blaster cards with yamaha chips. They're worth a couple hundred bucks and they go quick on eBay.
You have an awesome setup Ben. Thank you for sharing
Hey man hope ya hit your goal soon!
Hi Ben happy to see a bit more of your garage lol I knew those boxes would come in handy for long term storage.
Those military boxes are cool. Some similar stuff was up for auction near me and I can sympathize with someone buying them all up.
I’d love to see a gold recovery video 🙂
Your videos are never too long 👍👍👍👍
Turbo is really there to slow things down. Its not a misnomer. Its just that you would run your computer in turbo mode 99% of the time. However some games would be written based on clock speed rather than constant time. You would get a new PC and all of the sudden everything in the game would move too quickly. Hit the turbo button to toggle turbo off and now you can play your old games.
love it
Gday Ben thank you for another great video. Always good to have a update on the yard and to see the progress you make on the side of the house and in shed. Inspired me. And loved the vintage scrape out. Big job taking the filing cabinets to scrap yard.
Well done on your tidy. 👍Looking good! 😍
I know everyone says this to you, but have a look what the 5.25" floppy drives are selling for these days on ebay. Easy money!
Any scraping marathon for future ? I like the series
that gold and ceramic eprom chip at the 42:45 is an eprom not an oscillator that has more gold then an oscillator
Very nice video
That Eprom from the hard drive at the end was really cool and it'll look good in your collection!!
Have a Great Day My Friend!!!
Always love your videos! Thanks Ben!!!
Man, I just love scrapping the old stuff. Those were very clean for their age. Most of the old stuff I get is filthy.
That's fax
wow! ben... you have a garage! where were you hiding it?! 😂😂😂 seriously tho, well done! cant wait to see the finished result!
39:10 ben, the empty slot is for a coprocessor (speeds up the computer a bit!) probably a 387 coprocessor slot
well done 😊
Turbo button was to change the speed of the CPU, back in those days certain programs would run too fast or not run at all with a CPU that too fast.
waiting on a video that shows your ram stockpile man! Great video as always, keep scrapping!
👍don’t put all your yolks in one barrel😂nice to see the ceramics👍
cool that e-prom at the end was the cherry on top never seen that one so far tho looks nice 👍😀👍
Hey buddy! See ya later!

I dont really understand why the silver rams are worth about nothing in holland they sell for 10 to 15 euro a kilo
Man Australia was very strict when it came to the restrictions that they all put out
Lol I always thought That water tank was an infaltable pool bed or something similar after years of watching ben i get That answered
Hi Ben, I came across some older electronics from around the 50's and 60's. The estate sale that i picked a bunch of stuff from had some nice misc boards and components. Some never yet installed. Everything was given to me for free. I'll sell what i can and just purchase gold and silver, But some are not really worth reselling. I'm wondering if you had any idea if older electronics had a higher content of gold in them. I'm just going to add them to my current scrap parts. Thx for all the videos. Matt
Matt - generally speaking older ewaste does have a higher precious metal content than newer systems. Sometimes you can even see the difference such as the gold fingers that Ben showed in this video. Sometimes you're just taking a guess such as with older IC's. All things considered, older IC's, Flat Packs, CPU's, etc will have more gold. Hope that helps.
Shark Scrapper It does seem to have a deeper color than some of the new stuff. Thx appreciate it.
@@TheLandlordPicker my pleasure
Where I live (mid north coast NSW) all boards attract the same price so there is no point in me separating boards into different types.
Hi @eWaste Ben I hope all is good with another really good video as always, I have sent you a email a few weeks back not sure if you have seen it
eWaste Ben, could you update us on the little gold plated IC/eprom chip as to what it is exactly. I'm assuming the case, legs were gold plated. Thanks in advance.
Do you have an ebay store?
i'm looking for cards that have the ALTERA / Xilinx ICs them.
You shoud nowdays save all vintage boards for gold recovery. In the future you will get basicly nothing to recover. New boards are very cheaply made, expensive but don't have anything in them. Keep up the good work.
Hi I need all cards you pulled out from this motherboard.
you would get more selling those cards on ebay. That speedstar vga card is worth some money as well as the ethernet card. You'd certainly get more for it than scrap value. Those old Motherboards too. The first one was a micronics 486 and the last one you weren't sure about was a 386. Say if you lived near me - Id gladly give you $20 for that miniscribe hdd and I know that is more than what youd get for scrap on that thing.
Do you still have any AT style cases like the second computer you scrapped. Been looking for a small AT cases like that for a 486 build. What would you sell the case for if you have any.
i would buy 5.25" drives from you and vintage computer parts (and cover postage costs)
Hey if you live in or near the u.s me or shark scrapper might be able to help you out as well
@@davegdm954 interesting
Yay im a vintage pc
you shall be scrapped for the parts!
You should be saving these instead of scrapping them
I bet you are happy after 110 days Melbourne is out of Lockdown.
