    Anyone in the area that is a scrapper and has a trailer I would think would be all over that!

    Seems like you just show up, get it loaded onto your trailer, drive straight to the closest yard and have them unload it.

    Thanks Dakotarog. Just saw this and called about the job. I am only stockpiling because of the low steel prices, but the challenge and desire to learn was tempting. They actually have three machines to scrap, one in Brookings, one in Rapid City, and the third in Morris, MN. It will be an interesting project with all the electronics. The company usually scraps their machines themselves, but because of the remote locations they do not want the hassle. This is a very large financial institution that specializes in electronic banking that many would recognize the name.

    So the deal I have with them is they will haul the machine from Rapid to Brookings, (I wanted them to pay for fuel so I could make a trip to my cabin in WY., but they hesitated.) In addition they will provide their expertise to removing any precious metals from the machines.

    Never underestimate the value of this forum. It has provided me with the demolition of several community water tanks, a demolition project of a power plant in Omaha, and now the contact person for a corporation that specializes in online banking nationwide. Thanks DakotaRog.
    Give back more to this world than we take.

    P76- I'm glad you got a deal done with them. It would be interesting to see some pixs of your take apart! Talk soon!

    i am envious of you but i think some decent pics of the goodies obtained from these ATMs- ferrous, non ferrous and ewaste, will make up for that.

    I took apart a very early Cashflow machine.
    You might remember the ones with a fluorescent orange screen inside a housing that you could shift up & down depending on your height. For security i 'guess', but everyone could see you enter the PIN number.

    Not much electronics left in it. Some big transformers though. Capacitors, card reader, screen & keypad. Casing.
    Fun.
