Some of my ewaste finds (Pics included) - Page 27

I took 618 pounds of batteries to the yard this morning. After that I bought a fishing license and a decent rod and reel and went fishing. Now I'm going to take a nap!

ps what did you get per pound? M

Batteries are usually 20 cents a pound but they are down to 16 cents now.

NEC ProMail Voicemail

I believe these voicemails are from the late 90's. Many were installed for smaller businesses with 20 to 30 users.

The circuit board is about 12" X 14".

The newer NEC voicemails (InMail) come on a small 1 gig SD card. It's amazing how small some telecom devices have become.

From left to right I have a VODAVI 5000 phone system, voicemail, caller ID module and digital phone.

Comdial FX II KSU

This was one of the easiest phone cabinets I've scrapped in a long time and it had some nice boards in it also.

Decent backplane and a really nice telecom super high card in there!

I received a call from one of my regular contacts last week asking if I wanted some telephones. Three hours later and I've got them unloaded and counted. There are about 320 Cisco 7975, 7965 and 7945 phones. Two days later and I have 2 different people interested in them. Better than scrap is always better. Woo Hoo!

For the last 3 days I've been working a ticket to demo an office space. They wanted all Cat 5e data cable and jacks removed. The customer let me keep the cable and I'm guessing about 400 pounds.

hello scrappers of the world

DATA GENERAL Model AXM-D-16-S-191 Terminal Server

This is the first time I've ever seen one of these. It looks like an old data switch and had some nice cards in it.

what kind of CPU was it on the board- gold cap?

No gold cap just the ceramic intel.

It's been a few months since I posted but I'm still at it. I had a service ticket today and me and a coworker had to install a new battery backup and remove the old one. I got to keep the old one. The pic below is the one we removed and the customer has 3 more they will be replacing in the next two months that are much bigger. I'm guessing the one below is around 1200 pounds.

I wanted to share some more pics of the UPS above. The top part had a 15 inch toroidal transformer and was super heavy. The next cabinet down contained all of the big power boards and the other 6 were full of batteries. 112 pounds of batteries in each of the 6 cabinets. They're not hard to take apart, just a lot of heavy lifting. I'm going to start checking around on battery prices but most places are usually .20 a pound.
