E-waste Pics

The mother of all VCRs! All the boards here that take up more space than my liftgate allows are from a Sony Betacam SP BVW-70 Videocassette Recorder. I cleaned a couple of them but these are mostly before cleaning and include 2 power boards, 2 backplane boards (one quite large!), a couple of telecom boards, some mid-grade and, with the gold connectors on each of them, cards that I think go with fingercards (otherwise a mix of mid-grade) and a couple of low-grade boards (upright at the top corner). One card is missing from the photo that I'd dropped without noticing. It was a.....chore let's call it to disassemble. Nothing was easily accessible. You have to unscrew every screw, rotate it, unscrew every screw, rotate it, unscrew every screw, rotate it, ad infinitum. Several items were attached with screws on both sides. With practice might be able to disassemble on of these in less than a half-hour. Have six to practice with so.... Each unit also has a couple pounds of aluminum, a couple pounds of motors and maybe 1.5-2lbs of wire. Posting a little more info about this in the Scrap Room.
