Pretty boards in these heavy aluminum telecom pieces! About 40 lbs each, but fairly easy to break down. The boards are about 2 lbs each.

This is from last 2 days of picking. Have a lot to cut. How long would all this take you?

Cleaning up our yard at work and offered boss $200 and i tow it for this Fork lift. Its sat for few years and its diesel that needs rebuilt is all i know. Apologize for my ignorance

Thought it might make some good beer money

Not sure if I’m gonna strip it or any idea how much I could get for it

Best guess is this is an electric motor pole shoe without the windings. It is made of individual steel plates pressed together, and I am told the alloys used are somewhat specialized. It weighs just under 18 lb.

The fuel prices have been really eating in to my profits per run.

I've maintained the same schedule but I've thought of altering my routes to save some gas.

Anyone changing up their routine or maintaining the status quo for now?

About to go pick up this freebie from a friends restaurant.

(3rd pic is of a different unit. But same model)

Friend says “Stopped cooling and I had an extra in storage so I said fuck it instead of fixing it 🤷🏻‍♀️… sure it could be fixed if you wanna mess with it”

It may just need the coils blown free of dust for all I know.

Probably not worth putting money into it, rather just sell as is for less. Worst case scenario is taking it to the yard… is that still worth my time picking it up? Anyone scrapped these and might know what I could get for it? As is, or should I bust it down?

I lurk here, and am not a scrapper… every post on this sub is filled helpful comments… this just kinda fell into my lap and this was the first place I thought to go.

What is the best way to sort and segregate circuit board scrap in bulk quantities? I work for a metal recycler and need to pull out medium/high grade boards from mixed/lower grade boards. We have shaker tables but they are not that big. Do we just dump them on the ground and bend down? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've got 20 or so brass radiators I'm hauling into town today, I'm looking for a way to find the best PPP I can, since it's an hour and a half away. Any leads on pricing, or a way to find prices on the web would be appreciated.

I wanted to ask if there's any toxicity or other dangers from breaking apart a ferrite core. I need some thin copper wire for a project and the best source would be from these PC powersource transformers, but I'm not sure if there's something I should watch out for regarding smashing the cores to bits. Except shorting out the caps in the psu. Thanks!
