    Awesome pick up ahead for this week!

    Well I am very excited. This woman called me a few weeks ago to come check out "a couple things" she had in her house. I was figuring okay maybe a tower or two. Or some monitors or old electronics. Well a "couple things" turned into about 3 rooms full, a barn with random stuff in it, plus a garage. It blew my mind. So I told her I would need to come back with my trailer and get some help to get the stuff for her. This lady is the nicest lady. She was perfectly fine with me scheduling the meet up for a later date, which is now this Wednesday. I really look forward to seeing what she has as a whole. I saw towers, monitors, some really old electronics, and random parts everywhere! It's like "American Pickers" for an e-scrapper. :-D

    I will let you all know how it goes.

    The pick up is done. I will post pictures when I can figure out how to lol. A lot of random electronics (some of which are really cool and old and I look forward to messing with and taking apart, some computers, and a lot of CRT monitors. We filled up an entire UHaul trailer which was pretty awesome.

    How many computers you get, and how do they look? Did you find any old tube type radios or anything like that?

    Found quite a few good items.

    Found a projector that uses tubes, a reel to reel recorder that also uses tubes. A bunch of TV's some printers, and a large mix of random parts and wire.

    Got a good server from 1983 and the boards in it are covered in gold chips. I got a bunch of pics just been too busy to post em. Ill post this weekend,
