I won this item in an auction a couple months ago and have no idea what it is. The metal circular part is approximately 5" across and is magnetic. The item is polished on top and is also threaded...

$170.00 a ton at the yard I use in Oklahoma. It's down from $185.00 a ton just a couple of months ago.

I went to my first estate sale of this year and found several lots of vintage computer equipment still in boxes. Pictured below are some of the better things that were in the lots to include: ...

The fourth picture looks similar to a flip-chip. I have boxes of similar items that I just got from a local college. They advised me that most of it came from a computer/electronics class. Here is...

The answer depends on your personal situation. I personally break each monitor down because I have more time on my hands than material. I also have a place that takes monitors for free once they...

I think the tile saw would be a great idea. The water would also help keep dust/particles off the board from becoming airborne. I may have to pull my tile saw out and test it this weekend. I have...

Nice haul there captscraper. I thought at first the truck hauling the car was yours and was thinking that could be the reason your truck was broke down for two weeks. :p

I'm sure your right, but a guy can dream every now and then. :D

You may be right about the board not being gold, but the picture doesn't do it justice. The board is very yellow in natural sun light. I guess the only way to be sure is to test and see. I think...

I can't remember, but the outer casing of the tv is still at an old dump site on land owned by my wife's family. I'll try to go back and see what kind of tv it was in the next few weeks. It had a...

I had pulled this board from an old tv several weeks ago and just now got around to removing the componets. I turned the board over and to my suprise, it appeared to be gold. I have taken apart...

I hope my local Goodwill doesn't stop taking CRTs. I dropped off 28 monitors (without the goodies inside) last Saturday. I even made sure they still accepted them and they said yes. They told me...

I purchased this load of 22 towers and monitors for $30.00 I also got a working Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop computer in the deal.

My biggest issue is the plastic, as I have a place to donate CRT tubes to.

Nice find. Here is a website that may help
