    scrapping vintage macintosh monitors

    got about 70 of these from 1980's. I scrapped regular pc monitors but nothing this old. Any goodies besides copper inside to look for?
    Also got a bunch of apple floppy disk drives. What can I scrap out of these?



    Thanks

    Check resale value on those drives. Are they 5 1/4 or 3 1/2

    If those drives are genuine Apple, then they're worth much more as collectibles than scrap value. Upload some pics if possible, to see what you actually have.
