    Xerox printer

    So I retrieved a broken commercial table top xerox laser printer, found some memory and high grade boards in it but more interesting was when I removed the plastic exoskeleton. The mechanics of this thing are amazing, with gears and belts and drive motors, very interesting. I also found an old dot matrix printer but couldn't get it out of the building, it had a large transformer in it and some other very interesting items. Gotta get it out of the building.

    Take it apart if you can. Bring it out in pieces. Had to do that with the 2 washers and a dryer that were in my basement. It was either that or take off the guard rail and have a pain in the rear time with getting it around things. Plus by taking it apart I didn't need help.
    Eat. Sleep. Scrap.

    I bought a bunch of printers on Govliquidation. I too was amazed at the engineering and the evolution of the printers over the last decade.
