    Sounds good Bator. I have no idea what this stuff is worth $$ wise, once I get the boards out, I will post some pictures. I will save you the label as well.

    cool, been a long time since I've seen the old large hard drive platters like that! (since college around '90 I think).

    can't wait to see the boards

    I think the boards would go as high telecom for scrap value. In the $6/lb range with all that bubble memory on them. The unit did have some damage inside from water it looked like, so this has turned into a e-scrap recovery operation. I messaged a few vintage computer sellers on ebay before I took anything apart and all said they were not interested in purchasing the unit whole. So Probably 40lbs or so of heavy wire, 150-200lbs of transformers, 50lbs aluminum, 20-30lbs of boards, few pounds brass and copper clean, and the rest steel. For it being free and $10 in diesel, I wont complain about this pick up.

    It may be worth auctioning off that keyboard board. I bet it would get a lot of interest on ebay.
    Copper, brass, and Leather. 3 of my favorite things.
