110KG Organ Melt - Huge Teardown - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure - BigStackD BTTF - Copper

[@bigstackD]

Oh boy, what an absolute nightmare tear down that was. So much going on inside this organ with such a small return. But not to worry , I'll take what I can get and as you can see there's plenty of those ones for free. A new coin on the printer today And added to the safe, so that's always a good thing. Now sit back relax take a load off and enjoy the video. I hope to see you all next Friday and until then be safe Take care and be awesome 👋🏻😁.

[@loudmouf9246]

Thanks BigStackD, every Friday you don’t disappoint. It’s awesome to see how much your channel has grown from 100k when I joined the journey and here to growing some more. 🔥

[@PasSpareTime]

Brother you are a hard worker and love what you do, but not sure the juice was worth the squeeze from that organ....

[@JasonRoblesSembrano]

I had hoped you liked my comment last week. That Toccata and Fugue nightmare was my idea. LOL.

[@juliebaker6969]

Apparently it's not an organ, it's a giant musical piggy bank.🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙

[@michaelsantini7396]

Awesome work bigstackd enjoyed the video almost make me want to melt down stuff

[@DjmMik]

Damn the inside of that organ was like a rocket ship😂. I had no idea it would contain so many circuit boards. Nice melt!! Have a great weekend.

[@DukesHound]

Hey BigstackD, my dad and i have been watching for you for about a year and a half now and it would always be the day after you aired on fridays because we would have to work the day before. Sadly my dad passed away on Thursday. I just want to say you have brought me many joys and ideas and time well spent with my father. You were also an inspiration for me to look into getting a Frenchie :) Thank you so much.

I’m so sorry for your loss, man. Here for you, even though it’s through the internet.

❤ brother

[@GrumpyHarleyRider]

Not a lot of yield for a lot of work! But, as they say mate, sometimes it's not about the destination, it's about the journey getting there! Any addition to the stack is a good addition, right? Have a good weekend mate.

[@bigstackD]

Cheers, big fella, much appreciated as usual. Yes, very disappointed with the recovery but not to worry. It was free after all. My spare time is free but limited but it’s definitely fun to do tear downs like this that’s for sure. The next organ I get I’ll have to keep an eye out for the triple level keyboard one as that thing was choc full of metals. Looking forward to catch up in a few weeks mate ! talk soon. 👊🏻😁.

[@Dean_F]

Journey before destination! 👊

[@kenanderson2002]

True story: 13 years ago I was looking for a new project. I was going through a divorce and fighting the urge to do something permanent (if you get my euphemism) and I decided to do a piano restoration. I spent 500 hours raising that thing from the dead. It was completely inoperable when I got it and a few months later, I had it tuned. The tech told me I raised the value from $0 to about $10k. 5 years later I donated it to a local church whose piano had been dropped and was completely destroyed. What a wonderfully fulfilling few months for me.

[@medicbabe2ID]

That's outstanding. A fantastic story, both for yourself and the piano. I hope you're still doing well.

[@ziva_kunda]

Good work, bro.

[@MitchellTheMitch]

Good work! Now do another one!

[@nathanieljames7462]

Thanks for sticking around, mate!!

[@graemero5532]

Nice 👍🏻

[@MaxCarponera]

21:00 yes, gold pins. Those chips could be valuable, not just for the gold but for scarcity. In the electronic music world many of those chips are still in use. Must get a partner to classify and manage all that electronics.

[@ziva_kunda]

Those chips are probably worth a lot more than remelted metal. 😞

[@thememingoflife5452]

Legit

[@XtremeChiliPepper]

The boards that are brown/tan on one or two sides are worth nothing - junk boards. Minor amount of gold-plating. Telecom boards, motherboards, cpu's, gold-fingers on RAM, on the other hand, have way more value due to the heavier gold-plating and tantalum capacitors.

[@gowerski]

uh huh. if that's true then why did John Titor come back?

[@ziva_kunda]

@@XtremeChiliPepper Those plates or capacitors are not important and there is very little gold from them. What's important are the chips. They're not made anymore. There are still very many musicians who use equipment to produce sound with those chips. They don't want the new equipment because it doesn't have "the right sound". That's why the chips are much more important as a replacement part than as a metal value.

[@robertsnowdon6932]

The noises when You enter the workshop are probably the 10 mil sockets scurrying around mate but of course they would stop once they know that You are close.

[@bigstackD]

Actually, that makes perfect sense that’s more than likely what they are👍🏻

[@thinking-monkey]

Wait a minute! 10mm sockets climb out of your socket set and hide in Australia, too?? I thought that was just here in my area! (southern U.S) Out of 3 complete sets, I know for a fact the 10mm is missing out of two of mine! 🤣🤣

[@Choujifangirl]

As a person who is not a tool person I still find the fact that 10 mm sockets are really easy to lose freaking hilarious because they’re probably tiny compared to other sockets but they’re used in so many things

[@FoxValleyStacker]

I did it. First melt of about 14 oz copper into 2 oz buddha ingots and an incomplete 4 oz bar. thank you for sending me your tips. i followed all the safety stuff to the letter. no problems at all. since melt 1 i got a pro respirator because my next melt will be 30lbs of aluminum cans. been waiting for this organ melt! cheers

[@ThePequinta]

As a welder, one of the first things we're taught is that zinc is not to be messed with, and the first thing to do with exposure is to drink milk to help flush it from the body. Every time I see you melting and pouring zinc I hope you have a fresh pint of milk in the fridge, just in case.

[@brandonclements7875]

So from what I understand, zinc in itself is fine, it's when you have galvanized metal, apparently it's somehow different than each other, but I could very well be wrong

[@15harney1987]

@@brandonclements7875 it’s the zinc oxide he was talking about that’s the problem. That dirty yellowish smoke is very bad for your lungs, and metal fume fever is a nasty illness that you don’t want to deal with

[@rgs4x]

When my mom died we cleaned out her home. Nobody wanted her organ. It was fully functional and in really good shape. We decided just to put it out front her home with a free sign. Someone picked it up that evening. They saved us the headache of paying to have it hauled away.

[@grahamclarke1934]

Love your solution to remove screw from back panel. Made me laugh. Greetings from Crete.

[@fiatconcesionariooficial4267]

hi..Mate Last week I sent him several messages but they didn't arrive, I don't know why, I also sent a message to his Instagram. Today he did a great job with that organ, but he obtained little metal, I thought that of the 100 kilograms that the organ weighs he would obtain more than 10 kilograms of metal PS: Ingot makes noise if he were a sheep Have a great week cheers

[@bigstackD]

Thanks buddy, appreciate it as always mate. It’s crazy to say but this comment was also in the spam folder?? I have no idea why that keeps happening ? Not to worry all is good buddy. Yes I was very disappointing with the amount recovered. I was hoping as well for at least 5 to 7 kg of metal but I was way off. I suppose if I melted all the small thin stuff I would’ve had a bit more for the shelf, but that’s not really a good idea to melt plastic on the channel👍🏻. Have a great week my friend. It’s 10:22 pm Sunday night and I’m off to sleep to get rested for tomorrow’s melts 👊🏻😁

As a scrapper and a removal man if you’d have turned the pallets 90 degrees ,the wheels were getting stuck in the spaces between the slats. I have the very same truck and it’s a wonderful thing to have

Thanks!

[@bigstackD]

Hey there my friend, cheers for the super thanks I really appreciate it. What a crazy tear down this one was don’t you reckon? Not much going on in the way of recoverable metals but still a fun & exhausting time doing all this. I’ll definitely do another organ in the future, but I’ll be going for one of the bigger triple keyboard models as they seem to have a hell of more metal in them. Thanks again my friend. Have a great weekend👍🏻😁

[@exidy-yt]

If that monstrosity was hand-wired I TOTALLY feel bad for the people who wired it, but still. All good things must come to an end and the fact is that the work those wired keyboards could do 40 years ago can now be done with a synth chip the size of your fingernail. Great breakdown BigD!

[@kobalt7893]

Hahahaha that one flat screw removal absolutley destroyed me love te content

[@wesleyehowell]

Not to be a smart aleck, but that cart probably would have moved on those pallets a lot easier had you put the boards in the direction of travel. Turn the pallets 90° from the way you had them. it's always amazing looking inside those organs. I find it amazing what they were able to accomplish with those things.

[@SauvikRoy]

Such intricate circuit design! It must have cost a fortune back in the day!

[@aussiebattler7789]

probably all designed and drawn on paper with a pencil, no apps in them days

Sad to see it go to be honest.

[@kevinknight6302]

I think if you do a 2 part mold with that coin it’ll come out much better. The second one definitely worked better without the aluminum mixed in. Remind me to email you the new Goonies one. That one should work great 👍🏻

Keep up the amazing content. Loving the new coins!!!!!

Nice, I'm early! And why was it so satisfying to watch the barrel drain?

[@GodPikachu]

Lol, does anyone else remember the "piano smashing competetition" craze from the 70s and 80s?. this was brought about because old style mechanical pianos all started warping and such when central heating became a thing, leading to people getting rid of a lot of old cheapo pianos made during the 30s and 40s and replacing them with ones made using more modern materials and techniques, or getting electronic pianos/organs. The idea of a piano smashing competition was to literally smash an old piano to pieces using sledgehammers and then put the bits through a letterbox sized hole. whoever finished pushing their bits through first won, probably some sort of "fabulous prize"

[@vincedibona4687]

All those gorgeous old brass harps… 😢

[@ashcraft555]

My uncle won one of those competitions once. He won a $10 gift certificate to a steak and shake restaurant.

[@AnthonySmith-hr2kp]

Jeeze, I figured there would be more than just that small amount of metal to be recouped. Not to mention the time it took to get it all apart, and the junk wood. Well I don't think I'll ever pick one up for scraping. Nice to see Ingot and Bullion!!!

[@bigstackD]

It’s definitely worth scrapping one of the original organs I did with the triple keyboard on it. If you get some spare time, definitely go back to look at the old video that I did of the organ last year as I got a hell of a lot from that. But yes, this little organ today was very disappointing, and really not worth scrapping but I love doing this stuff so it’s all good👊🏻😁.

Hi master, Excuse me if I'm being presumptuous, I just started watching the video, I noticed that if you had positioned the pallets turned 90 degrees, perhaps the wheels of the trolley would not have fit between the spaces in the boards... no offense, I love your videos :)☺

When you were moving the organ onto your gravel teardown/smelting area, I would have thought that turning the pallets (so that the wheels are running along the boards instead of across them) would have been easier?

Yeah, I’ll keep an eye out and get myself another one of the triple keyboard organs because those things were loaded with metal last time. I still have a few dryers a couple washing machines, a heap of microwaves some RV fridges a heap of old tools, some lighting and some other stuff to go through so that will be fun breakdowns👍🏻. So much to melt, but so little time.

You can tell how old it is by the circuitry. A lot of it would fit onto one chip, nowadays. Those speakers look in good nick, though. Tapping them with a sledgehammer wouldn't do them much good, though. 🤣🤣

[@bethdavis1812]

Sorry I was laughing at you moving that old organ, it reminded me of when laurel and hardy were trying to take a piano up a load of steps 😂

[@quinncarver]

Silver can be recovered from ceramic capacitors (the little disks that are perpendicular to the plane of the board) through the eutectic capture process of copper, and it can achieve recovery rates of up to 100% for palladium and 87.53% for silver. I don't think the can shaped capacitors, or the puffy rectangular (polyester film) capacitors will have much for you other than the legs which are copper. They are basically sheets or mylar rolled up in an electrolytic jelly roll.

[@thememingoflife5452]

Dude, all of those organs are free grabs in the nearest 100km? Go get em all! When you can, that this... I bet you are wanting to manage your storage and not fill up on too much. Love your content man! Still on my journey through all of your videos, but I can't miss the most recent! God bless!

[@Yoeshi]

Hi, I really enjoy watching your videos! But may I give you a tip as an old caster? If you preheat the small moulds well then when casting fast solidifying metals the metal flows much better into the small bumps in the mould .... After all, you do it with your square casting moulds ! 👍👍👍
