Depopulating circuit boards for copper, aluminium & precious metal recovery.
First of a short series of videos about depopulating circuit boards from e-waste.
Low Grade & Power Boards from tv's & power supplies.
Next will be covering mid grade and above which should be more interesting but for new scrappers, low grade is where it all starts, mostly base metals.
Another option for power boards is to sell to scrap yards, some will buy them for around irony aluminium price or even transformer price, but completely depopulating can even out with copper & aluminium and a bonus of a few small gold bearing ic chips and silver bits.
I go on about tantalum capacitors a bit as I get many scrappers wanting to sell various capacitors that are not tanties, better grade boards are where they're most at and these days most are surface mount smd's yellow or black but there's still many resin dipped tanties, they usually have a + & long "L" on the capacitor itself, not the board, that should read "C" for capacitor.
Safety gear, tools, furnaces, ingot moulds etc that I use or recommend.. www.amazon.com...
