    Red face Not too shabby today

    I didn't do too bad today looking for scrap metal. Luckily I work at a HVAC company and a lot of their stuff goes into the dumpster. The owner has a pile of scrap out back of the shop but people get lazy and throw the stuff in the dumpster usually. Which is nice for me because the boss said whatever I dig out, is mine. I have gotten some copper, insulated wire and god knows how many compressors out of there.

    Anyways today I found an old vacuum, 2 compressors and an old well pump. Also driving home found a microwave, and 2 really old TV's. Which I plan on tearing apart for the transformers.



    Anybody else find some good stuff as of late? A "Todays Finds" thread might be interesting. Just a suggestion though

    Gapajeff, I posted something you might want to read before tackling those old TVs: http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/showt...=2267#post2267

    As I said there, I don't know much more than that, but I thought it worth mentioning...
