Today's haul

[telecomguy]

Among other things, I picked up these today for $.02. Figured it was worth a bid since I was going to pick up some other stuff anyway.

The first is a box of about 20-25 spinner motors for a slot machine. The motors are pretty hefty (3" dia x 2" thick) with the plastic ring on it. I guess this is what attaches to the apple/orange/lemon display piece. Not sure what I'll do with them but I'll probably keep a couple for projects and scrap the rest. Maybe I can make a slot machine. :-)



The second is a microfiche reader. I only wish it was worth what these guys are asking:
NB Jackets (Bell & Howell) 162 RDR/FILLER Minolta Micro(film) Auto Filler - RecycledGoods.com
But I suspect there's no real market so it'll probably get scrapped as well. Some aluminum, wiring, and shred.

You paid .02 for all that? Microfich are not used any more, everybody puts thiere info on cd's now-a-days. Not much in them.

I know. I think I overpaid. Looks like I exaggerated a little. Turned out to be 18 of those motors and they are a little smaller than what I said. I'll test them out and toss them on ebay or something. There are a few similar ones listed there. stepping motor 1.8 deg 12v | eBay

There is usually 2 big brass bushings on the lense assembly in most microfiche I have dealt with.

Yep. Just dismantled and found a few wires, transformers, switches, very little aluminum and the rest steel, glass, & mirror. On the brighter side, I responded to a craigslist free listing and picked up a box full of cables and a few Ethernet switch boxes. The prize was a heavy copper heatsink for a processor. I'm still a recreational scrapper so this was pretty exciting.

The microfiche machine should turn a $100 bill at the very least if it works, ao the return on your 2 cent investment is 5,000% . cheers
