Street Scrap Copper Rampage Scored Amiga 1000 in the Trash

Trash picking at it's finest today, AT 1:04:30 I found a rare commodore Amiga 1000 plus a bunch of cool PC's and all kinds of interesting scrap items.
Scrap copper was my initial goal but quickly got sidetracked with great e-waste finds in the trash, hard rubbish season just hit it's peak with the Amiga 1000 being my best find this year so far whilst street scrapping for treasure.
Keep scrapping & have fun!

Every time I watch one of your videos, I want to pack up my stuff and move to Australia!

[@Rehuacopper]

Check out my one bro

[@liatc1847]

Love to watch you get excited by nice toys..... Comodor brings up nice memories

[@sebastianmelmoth1645]

Copper is so cool - it turns up in so many unexpected places. Yokes, monitors, collars, spools, degausing cables that can split open to yield lovely shiny valuable copper. Love that coppah!

[@bigstackD]

I’ve seen this vid all before, but I was watching your latest video and this played after it so thought I’d let it play on as I was playing on my phone👍🏻🍻🍻

[@eWasteBen]

Probably the best score of the year! A first issue Commodore Amiga 1000 in very nice condition! I have been dreaming of this computer for a while, I already have one but this one is perfect, just needs a good clean up. Today's scrap day was amazing for me, right from the start I got 2 PC's and it just kept getting better.

[@greekgods3399]

i live in hamletin and its 3 35 am but i still wait untill u make vids im the first guy to wacth

[@A.polon.i.a]

That Amiga is bloody awesome.

[@markylovesrave]

lemmings !!!!

[@kenkarish826]

Should go out for TV's more often and you will end up with PC's. LOL! The Amiga was a great find, I believe it was from the same family that came out with Atari. Can't wait for the next video. P.S. For about $5.00 you can get a set of socket drivers for your drill so you don't have to bring a ratchet with you. I have a set(1/4,3/8 and 1/2) + a hex extension for switching out Torx and screw driver heads that are in a magnetic dish. Really makes life easier...

[@A.polon.i.a]

Mate he's got a long pozi........ and a new set of choppers

[@wayneday3916]

I know this is 3 yrs old but love your street scrapping.

[@edcase7888]

Ben I'm a car guy and have lots of channels I'm subscribed to, but in all honesty I look forward to your street scrapping videos more than any other, thanks for sharing and love the long videos thanks from the uk

[@Scotto6977]

I’m just here for the”good day scrappers”😂👏🏻

[@bunnyfrancis7006]

I think your videos are never too long. Love every minute.

[@electronicmaniac7881]

Take the speakers,dude!Take the speakers!

[@PoliceChaplainMisty]

I love how excited you get when finding a cool find. stay safe in all you do

[@A.polon.i.a]

Love it Ben, back to your roots...... scrapping them out on the street for copper, wow that amiga is awsome, what a find

[@kimjunkmoon2298]

Haha, I love to see people's reactions to mixers. Every time it's just like "OMG SO MANY KNOBS!!". I'm really loving your videos Ben keep it up. :)

[@robertevras6577]

Loved the efficiency of scrapping off the tailgate of your van...worked great!

[@shelleygiesbrecht4759]

I used to have an Amiga back in 1990, I’m shocked you found one curbside in such good condition! Sweet scores for sure! Those little Beringer mixer boards are great, I used to have a powered one back in my DJ days.

[@danday9697]

It's so crazy to me, the amount of stuff people throw away there. I never see piles like that.

[@teembo]

scrapping tvs in the van!!!! I love it!

[@epsidude]

For a recent Password reset question, it asked who would you most like to meet. E-Waste Ben was the only name that came to mind! Keep up the great work.

[@darlenehunt5291]

I really enjoy watching your videos...but I especially love how excited you get when you find old computers and electronics..... keep the videos coming....

[@gasworksend4blues]

Not a scraper myself just watch for the fun so thought i would looked up the Amiga on ebay to see what's the fuss was about and bloody hell quite a find and all complete, no wonder you was so happy. Great Stuff Ben.

[@lyliatank7604]

Wow! I never thought people there throw away stuff like that. Its like heaven for me when I see places with scraps everywhere. Lol!

[@Bman10496]

Haha “I haven’t seen so many knobs in one place for a long time”

[@Michael-db1ce]

Hasn't been to a concert in some time.

[@cads877]

love your enthusiasm Ben !

[@patrickschoenpflug]

That Amiga 1000 was an amazing find talk about old vintage they are extremely rare if none excitant to find one in such good condition is truly incredible they are worth a lot of money today, congratulations my friend that amiga is in good hands👍🏻👍🏻😎😄😄😊😄

[@MStark]

Your excitement makes me smile😁

[@solar1Aus]

. I laughed so much watching how excited you get when you find an exciting find,,,I was going to offer you a smoke after all that.lololololo

[@larrywalker3137]

I like the way you get excited when you find something you really like that's awesome

[@lqares1052]

Another great vid man , love when you find these little gems

[@thetechexpert4887]

I really like it that you got the vintage pc with monitor and keyboard, vintage portable tv and vintage radios.

[@cecilpassage6363]

Nice score! I'v learned a lot watching your video's and I thank you for the Videos!

[@ernestpetzrick7741]

Great scrap day for you! Slow weekend here.

[@jparish2469]

[@boot7919]

More videos plz look forward to watch them and thank-you

[@newlifeme1]

Great vid. One of your best. Awesome scores that day. Good idea to turn the back of your van into a mobile work area.

[@brendamiller8140]

I watched you one day I quite a while a go when you did a whole pile of old tv's right on the spot , you had a tv on every other block. That was like 4 or 5 years ago. 👍😂🤗

[@ifyareckon]

Great score on the Amiga! My 5yo called that pile the dirty toy house, because when we hit up that pile Sunday all the toys he wanted to take were bloody filthy.

[@torfed]

Nice Amiga. I still have my Amiga 500 and 3000 in the attic. I used the 500 for games and ran a BBS on the 3000.

[@stevenbennett667]

Hi Ben,I've learnt tons from you mate & it is sad that our beautiful copper is getting rather thin on the ground so to speak!! But hey make a wire strpper with a razor blade and strip on the go and your be surprised how quick it adds up. God bless you bruv.

[@keithhaycraft3765]

If you have not seen so many knobs in one place, you have probably not been to a sitting House of Parliment. Hahaha

[@E-BikingAdventures]

Flat screen tvs have large plexiglass sheets in them. Expensive stuff.

[@heathercarter8312]

AWESOME bro as always

[@user-uw3hw4mz5t]

Great score indeed :D :D Great video!

[@donnierobertson3088]

Great job again like always

[@johnhull6363]

Ben i think we are gonna rename you scrapmaster ben....got the knack for this

[@deniskochnev4189]

It is a paradise for scrappers at your location)

[@superactiontank]

Copper to the moon! 🌙 👍

[@chuxxsss]

The Amiga 1000 is a classic. Sale the copper copper transformers. You can make a spot welder with the transformer.

[@scottglab9713]

the good old days

[@ewaste-jd-preciousmetals3723]

Wow nice copper scraps.

[@mauriliozamora6627]

Great score on those PC's Ben !

[@lonewolfgeoff]

im so totally jealous about the amiga 1000! shame it didnt have the mouse too! my eyes popped when i saw that tho! wow! you are SOOO lucky! i hope you had a celebration about that! shame not too many tv's on this one, im guessing the next you'll get the rest and im guessing about 12 pcs! lol well it helps with good karma giving some positive thought out! mind you, the more you get the more of the forest of pcs etc grows! jeezz! and you gotta go back to that firm from last week to get the rest of the servers etc... oh boy, you got a week or so of pcs now! 😱😳 i really wish you luck with them! and the rest! 😊 your doing well mate, always cool to watch!

[@jammadturn]

I have never found a mixer in scrap. I did find an awesome amplifier that my nephew checked out and said it didn't work. it was a realy good brand my nephew said, I can;t remeber the brand but it had a solid piece of aluminum in it that was seven pounds.

[@Killerspieler0815]

@eWaste Ben - There is even a directly usable SCART-Chinch adapter sticking in the (Euro-AV-) SCART socket on the outside of the TV. SCART made it from western Europe to Australia / NZ (with their Chinese wall sockets ;-) ). SCART was the best analog consumer connection back then.

[@paul-bp3no]

Love the long videos Ben.

[@JT-il3fe]

I have the exact same stereo stack that you found only thing you are missing are the surround speakers. Still works still using it and it still bangs it’ll rattle the picture off the walls

[@handdancin]

you should grab those old vcr and vhs dvd combos- they sell easy on ebay, vcrs get around 40, combos can get 100+... just check out sold items if your curious! your channel and positivity are fantastic!!!

[@TheLorkM]

Good job !

[@aluminumcantheif6557]

Copper yokes can be stubborn but not if you take a sledgehammer to it. Sometimes I drop a 30 lb block of heavy iron on them while wearing steel toe boots for safety

[@lukasblazek5225]

Awesome Ben. I always wanted to see how it will go if you will scrap things on street :) you can do more of these videos time from time :)

[@gortnewton4765]

If you are going to start scrapping crt units in the back of your van, then organize a skid-deck at the back so you can rotate the heavy crt units (TVs and monitors) quickly and easily. That's only a sheet of thick plastic like what is used for wheeled office chairs when used on carpets. Look for some, you'll find it. Nice to see you are scrapping now in the back of your van. That makes things easier and more convenient.

[@kelseywigg7908]

The polyvac scrubber!! passed up 2kg of copper just in the motor...plus cord and a lot of cast ali and a large brass drive cog...done about 5 or 6 of them...main pain is the oil in the gear box.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Holy Moly!! You hit the jackpot this day, didn't you? 👍👍👍👍

[@mcmic8027]

Jeeeeeez i wouldn't work a day in my life because i really enjoy recycling. I cant believe how much things you left behind

[@Thatgaycoincollector]

if you are in my area you get more pc's than CRT's

[@catherinemichel6673]

So nice to see a veteran scrapper like yourself get excited by an old system! KInda funny in a way to see you babbling on about it, almost giggling at such a great find for your collection. I noticed several sliders missing from that mixing board so it might not work but it'll make an interesting scrap I guess. For me though, scrapping isn't my thing and it kinda hits me wrong every time I see you passing up speakers. As a stereo nut, good working speakers are always a plus to add to an already working system. I watched VidVulture tear up a turntable that probably could have worked and was shouting at my screen! LOL. I know you probably see dozens of speakers in your travels and always just leave them after clipping the cords. Sigh. Oh well, you know what you're after and it works for you. Wish I knew a way for me to get you to ship all those speakers to me in the states, although I know the cost would outweigh the value of the speakers. Well...goodonya Ben and thanks for letting us ride along with you on your adventures. For shut-ins like me, it lets us escape our dreary rooms and see a part of the world we'll never get to see in person. Cheers from the States.

[@Flymochairman1]

I'd have grabbed that pile of 'Tote Boxes/Bins' that you passed earlier on but man, what a score! I listened to this to a fine 15yr old Kenwood amp. Nice kit. I'd have had all the loudspeakers as well but that's me. I know the question is "Why is is put out for scrap?" and I didn't see the inside of said 'Totes' but cool runnin' there Ben. Still, mind-boggling what some folks throw away! I've watched a couple of your posts on here and what excellent ethics! Good on ya.

[@NRVxM]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your methods. Trying to get my wife cutting cords. Could you do a video on sorting the cords and show the value of doing it. If you got some time someday. Thanks again

[@americanrebel413]

Great video Ben! Thank you for sharing the find of the vintage computer, I acquired one Vintage computer So far, it is in storage in my garage I believe it's a compact, When I'm able to wrestle it out of where it is I will share with you what it is and the serial number if you are intrested, Not that I would sell it but just as and interest, Don't worry I'm not trying to sell stuff on your channel my friend.

[@nickhueper2906]

I’ve never heard someone call someone’s Front yard called a “Nature Strip” 😂

[@Alrik.]

The concept of this "challenge" is really great, it's almost a shame that you didn't get that much TV's, but of course all the other finds are amazing too!! :D

[@ephraimt1]

"I haven't seen so many knobs in one spot for a long time" lol 😂😂😂

[@bazdaniels7420]

Wow. You all live in Free Pile Heaven down there!! We've got free piles here but not like that 8D

[@chernihivske]

Please make a vid when u first start that commodore up !!! :D

[@mnelson10000]

Congrats on the Amiga! I believe that was the first model... later on came the "budget" Amiga 500. While you were collecting cards in the 90's, I was playing with Amigas... :)

[@send2georgie_S2G]

Hey Ben! Would love to see a video of your trading cards stockpile...and... the progress on the amiga!! Is it running? Revisited this video cause I think this is the best street scrapping video yet!! Cheers!

[@oldstuffnow1]

Dude you are a mad man

[@gortnewton4765]

Sunshine in Melbourne is always a good spot too. That last big Sony at 52:00 you would have been better to do it on the grass instead of busting your gut lifting it. I usually take a litre of cold water, some ham and cheese rolls and sometimes a 500 ml bottle of coffee when I'm out so I don't have to go home to have a feed. And about your beautiful win, the Amiga, there's YT vids on how to de-yellow the keyboards, box and screen plastics. Make it look like new for us and do a vid, if you would.

[@technixbul]

vacuum cleaners and fans also have a lot of metals and coper in their motors ... when its electronics or power tools take them whole, not just power cord ... electronic parts have great value too, specialy old ones ... these value parts and pcb are hard to found these days if you are electronics service like me

[@suburbanhunter-gatherer3071]

Incredible scores! Amigas on the curb? I need to move to Melbourne!

[@Scrapping4aDart]

I don't scrap microwaves anymore because no yards in my area will take them due to new laws. They have to do to the transfer station now here where the dispose of them. Great Video.

[@JDeWittDIY]

Do you have any more info on that? I have 3 microwaves I need to get rid of, so I need to figure out where I can take the carcass.

[@binarybox.binarybox]

I bought my Amiga 1000 in 1987 for £999. I think it was way ahead of other PCs as it had dedicated chips and you could load it with different operating systems. I didn't hear of anyone who designed another system, though. The expansion port on the side was for memory.

[@AridiumInsane]

I would get a magnetic tray for each side of the van. Just throw the bolts and screws at them and they stick and do not move. You can even have them stuck to to the sides of the van so you don't even have to reach down

[@speakerbasstester1639]

What do you do with the tubes when u recycle them at ur plant????

[@robertevras6577]

That was a 16 Chanel mixing board for live music. You would run your instruments, amps , in and speakers out for your band gig...

[@wrenchboostboi8994]

I wish everyone in my city just left all their scrap out on the curb like that! Jeez... i have to work for every bit

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Man you guys throw out more stuff there than we do in the US. One time I found a working PCjr at the curb, refurbished it, sold it on eBay.

[@billargiropoulos625]

Hello E-Waste Ben! You can sell the knobs from the mixer as a lot on ebay for good money. They break easily so there is demand for them. Also these intel heatsinks go for 10- 15$ each.

[@billargiropoulos625]

Also try hydrogen peroxide to remove the yellow tint from vintage electronics.

[@computernewandoldcomputert2971]

old washing machines have copper transformers, where I live during the summer holiday period is the best time to find crt tv's

[@computernewandoldcomputert2971]

the best part 5yrs ago crt's where every even the local tip was full of them the transfer bin was full with a pile beside it. I use to crap the computers that were there. now it's shit.

[@tristanking7042]

Is there a page I can study the different parts of a circuit board and the different types of metals?And I was also wondering why do you keep keyboards ? Thanks again and good luck from 🇨🇦 Canada

[@chancho00]

You have videos were you scrap those crt tvs right at the spot at the speed of light, why you have to take them on to the van now?.

[@grizzlybeardave611]

Amiga 1000 US$1,285 (1985); US$2,900 (2018 equivalent) Great find AWESOME !

[@robertevras6577]

How is the copper content in stereo speakers.

[@brianhbinesh]

Do you pick up tools like wrench and socket sets?

[@mcstinkle]

What type of driver bit is that?

[@judibohn1548]

Cool doing tvs in van. Lol. At least you dont have to retrash it.

[@lorand-edmondiszlai9416]

loool... Mario... it's Luigi :D

[@boltingskyline5234]

Bud, about you not being able to carry the CRT's to far. Why not invest in a little stand-up wheel cart thing. Not a wheel barrow. I forgot what we call them in the UK, but, I think you know what i mean? Get one of those, Bud? I think you can get fold-up versions of them, so, you'll be able to just, bungie strap to the inside of your van? 👍

[@djlau1]

i colect those small portable tv aswel :) take them most of the time from the scrap i wil do a colection video forya

[@Thatgaycoincollector]

I take them scrap em out and put the back back on and keep them for display

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Haha, it's funny that that thing you called a "fridge" still has drinks in it! Were they unopened? That's likely too small to have a compressor in it, but would be like my Hello Kitty electric cooler/warmer, with just a Peltier device, and thus doesn't refrigerate.

[@robzombieshot]

Nice find!! Suprised you left half the aluminum pots. Some with copper bottoms.

[@sencormagyarorszag-fanclub4871]

23:53 There is a vacuum cleaner, with big electric motor➡ copper 😊 29:50 - washing machine electric engine➡ lot of copper
