So far no one wants them. I have disassembled 40 of them (7940's and 7942's) just to see what I get at a yard for the boards and insulated copper etc...

I have ~300 Cisco VoIP phones. The majority of them are Cisco 7942's, old but working and not end-of-life according to Cisco. ~30 of them are 8900 series color display phones, the rest are 7940 and...
Still on break from this - looking to be permanent, it was almost time for me to stop anyway, mission was nearly accomplished from when I started this side gig.
While wearing a mask and gloves, I...
In case anyone cares update - my friend is still in the hospital and is improving. She was off the ventilator yesterday for an hour. Her husband - previously tested negative now tested positive for...
Indeed. I am feeling better now myself, my wife isn't yet. I just learned of 2 technically 3 more of my family friends in the hospital, one I have never seen besides pictures cause she was just born...
Yep, I for sure know what asthma is. It can have many triggers not just for an allergy like pollen. I have had chronic asthma/allergies, food allergies and chronic allergic rhinitis for 48 years. I...
I haven't collected any metal or e-waste in almost 2 months now, forgot what it feels like to drive my truck. Oddly enough I had several consecutive record collections (e-waste and metal) from my...

The one guy "Mad Mike" that made home made rockets to try and prove that the earth is flat (it isn't... just saying) died recently, his rocket exploded.
Stuff like that (no moon landing - yes I...
It was worth it after calculating the hours and fuel (~3 miles from home) - here's one of the 2 loads from this customer from Sunday before last - a few days after all the big stuff was gone/sold -...
WINNER!
*twilight zone music* ... 1020# in ferrous - don't have the ticket with me but it's a little strange, you might have it right on the button or within 25 lbs or so for the entire load. I...
The bucket on top has a bunch of small batteries in from old PBX cabinets and small UPS' so not counting that since it was sold separately - the rest is all ferrous.
One clue - no my truck isn't...
Sounds like a significant amount of red tape for something that is just $65/ton scrap value (latest price I am aware of around here - could be lower) for one person with a regular pickup truck (me).
Is it December 31, 1999 again? Stock up on water bottles?
I should go buy TP and water bottles (and washer fluid - I blame the stores for low stock on that - idiots) from sensible neighborhoods...
Never knew that but I can see why it would be illegal - odds of it NOT being stolen are very very low. I have never seen an ad anywhere "Burlington Northern free metal" lol
Now it makes more...

At least they cleared this one up - on the TV when the story first ran, they said the thief "was likley a metal scrapper"...
I was able to cut - slowly with my 4 1/2 angle grinder (my old 7" angle grinder is one that I killed being impatient) and Sawzall with the torch blade. It's steel not iron, and the table/platform...
Been using that too - not a Bosch but using a Milwaukee Sawzall Torch metal cutting blade along with the angle grinder
what? I thought it was "All Cows Eat Grass..." times have changed I guess... :lol:
indeed
Did you ever teach Piano in the late 1970's in the Denver metro area? I've heard others say "Every Good Boy Does Fine" but the only other person I have ever heard say that - "deserves fudge" was my...
Thank you. I knew there was something I was looking right past. I might just have to get one anyway even if I don't do this kind of work much longer, I know I will use it for something else later on...
Any ideas besides using a corded angle grinder to cut a 3 foot high 12 foot long 5 foot wide metal platform - six legs, to fit into a pickup bed? The steel for the "floor" is about 1/4 thick. I...
Bacon!
...diabetic on Keto diet, lost 53lbs, off diabetes, cholesterol and high blood pressure medications now
It was total of ~475lbs just the 5 bare transformers (one not pictured - I don't have the ticket on me). I should have stopped and checked back in here before I pulled them from the electrical boxes...
