    Another auction score

    Bought 7 pallets of traffic controllers and cameras from local city auction for $375. 90% aluminum cases, huge amount of high end boards, and lots of heavy transformers. Last time 5 years ago I did this same lot and made almost $3,000 in profit. Power tool tear down in progess! Name:  traffic lot 1.jpg

    Hopefully aluminum will get to 60c a pound. Im not sure who would want to buy used pelco cameras. CCV black and white. Not sure if some work or there all dead. I am not sure. Board sort and e-wasted are going to get the boards. Alot of telecom grade so far from what I have shown board sort.
