The best part about copiers are the stepper motors inside of there. I personally think that those sold on ebay or to the robot crowd could do very well for you depending on the motor in there. The...

I would just come back and offer him scrap value for all of those servers. They are worthless for anything but scrap at this point.

If he doesn't want to take it don't budge. When he can't...

I was 6 in 1981. By 1983 Gerlands (grocery store) was selling the 2600 games for $2-$3 each and my dad would be 3-5 at a time.

Great find! That is a sweet setup. Classics sell really well...

Ohh. My AC just died. I guess I really need to find how to tear these guys down. Since I can't replace it I might as well sell it. Hopefully we can get close to another window unit out of it.

The cost to ship that beast. A Pentium Pro is not worth anything but scrap really. I see one listed for $100 on ebay right now. But I doubt there are any completed auctions. The cost of shipping...

Thanks! I am closer, but this is already done. I did find plenty of other computer lots on there as well as some other cool stuff too. Thanks again for the link!

With these lots you have to get a manifest. You can easily take that and search ebay and find out what they are worth. Servers might not be worth much for scrap, but if you get something that is 3...

That lot sold for $15,100. That is pretty scary without a manifest. I would have to assume someone did an inspection before they bought the lot. Otherwise I think it would be hard to make that...

So the log splitter idea is a good one. But that is only the first part. It looks like they just squeeze the wires together and lift the magnets out. I am sure doing the second part by hand would...

I have a feeling most people don't think to look on ebay first. Has anyone tried calling used dealers of appliances to sell the parts from these machines? Maybe you could consider keeping a parts...

So did you sell this thing? What did you get out of it?

Although this is not the worst idea ever. I mean it might not be recycling, but it is re-purposing at its finest.

I will definitely be reading around without doubt. I have never been one to ask many questions. I just usually read until I figure it out.

Sucks about the prices though. Just about perfect...

Question is how many motors would you have to scrap before you could afford one of those guys. The second one is definitely the smart way to go, but then you have to get two machines instead of one.

Thanks for the tip. I actually started looking right after I posted and basically answered that one for myself. I guess I am of course really wanting to learn more about the extraction process for...

Always been a junker. It is just my wife who won't let me keep any of it. lol. Anyway live in Houston, TX. Definitely interested in e-scrap. Have a good bit of old stuff and always seem to find...
