25:00 Those are nixie tubes, you have probably seen some used in the oldschool petrol pumps at gas stations until the late 80's. People like to make steampunk clocks with them, be sure to keep the matching sockets from the pcb.

[@marcobadot57]

You're certainly an inspiration. Seeing you picking up old Wang computers reminded me of when I worked for Wang, for the last 2 or 3 years it was in business, here in the US. It might amuse you that you that some Wang old-timers had (very much sought after) T-shirts that said "When your Wang is down, we'll bring it bak up." I love your vintage PC scrap videos!

[@joenewman6939]

Canadian treasure hunter mentioned you in his video the other day he said you sent him a nice letter because his brother past away that was so nice and professional of you my respect level is through the roof for you I'm so privileged to have found your channel you have a gigantic heart my friend. love from Niagara falls NY

[@barrywest3758]

Yeah, love the old school Scrapping. Thanks for the video Ben, take care! Enjoyed 👍👍

[@harryverboom4032]

I allready forgot half of what u found it just gets better and better

[@ROBERTSCOIN]

another great video ben I get just as excited as you do when it comes to seeing all those CPU's and chips

[@davidquinton5171]

Great boards again nice scrapping hoping for slot more videos great stuff ben

[@pecosjack9122]

I really enjoyed! Great items to add to your gold recovery stock and your board collection. Thanks 😎

[@shaneyork300]

Some amazing boards here! I hope to see a part 3, maybe with some hard drives and cd roms scrapped in it? Have a Great Day My Friend!!!

[@Dzambor]

I think those tubes are nixie tubes. There is only one manufacturer of them in the world atm. They are kinda pricey.

[@stephenstebbing9460]

Yeah, I think so. Ben was too hasty in destroying that board. Oh, well.

[@eWasteBen]

Haven't really destroyed the board

[@Dzambor]

@@eWasteBen the board is not a problem - control board for nixie is simple. Nixie tube itself is a nightmare to manufacture, and there are lots of better solutions to show digits. But nothing looks that cool like nixie tube.

[@josephcormier5974]

Nice scrap session I seam to remember that you were going to take down the awning lol you keep going strong excellent video thank you two thumbs

[@judybeckner9047]

Thanks for the show Ben, I love seeing the old stuff.

[@gabrielmaligeorges6996]

Nice video Ben. Looking forward to street scrap next week. I have been stuck at home and missed the first two weeks.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks Ben - I had some scrapping to do and this was great background noise!! 😁

[@Red9GearHead]

That board at 52:40 that has the transformer and gold legged transistors... that black “diode” is also a transistor. Just a newer poly type. Also the four black round caps with the white ring around the bottoms are also transistors with gold contacts in them. Should also have gold legs. Killer boards Ben!!

[@Red9GearHead]

The poly transistors have gold inside them also. Takes tons to add up to much though. Just dumped a 10,000 count bag into AP a few days ago.

[@kevinsturgess1475]

Hey Ben you should keep a little jar of those flat blade screws for your restoration projects in the future,you'll wish you did when it comes round to it. Kev from nz 👍

[@eWasteBen]

True, I will, Thanks

[@davidranew9776]

Great Video Ben Keep Bringing The Video's Dude Nice Score On The Double CPU'S👍👍

[@McCuneWindandSolar]

You cold sell those at 25:00 Those are called NIxie Tubes. If you look at them they have the numbers 0 though 9 in them it was for some of a number display and each one of those cards was the driver for each tube.

[@gjavolgjavolot9500]

You are the man! And you are the reason I got into this wonderful hobby thank you so much! Found lots of pre 90's electronic boards, having hard time figuring out what they are from, and if the little ceramic capacitors are the Bulgarian one with palladium everyone is talking about. If they are, I would be so hooked in collecting this since I got quite a a lot and big boards with them. There are too many similar small and big capacitors making it so hard for me to determine, how should I go about this? Thank you

[@jgiuguigiugigiugugiuuig4050]

lol, I can only image how mad some vintage pc collectors will be watching this sort of videos 20 years into the future. :D

[@darenfry3725]

Grind the chip and gold fingers. Be interesting to see how much you get out of a little pile ??

[@whitehedr]

The board with the tubes is a “Nixie Tube” display. That board has a very high value to electronic clock hobbies. The board behind the display tube would be the driver board and also worth decent money to the clock hobbiest.

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

awsome video ;) 1 think 1 hours is cool, ill do some micro scrapping under that time ;)

[@dalecrary8738]

I dont mind the long videos. I learn a ton. Thanks

[@ronanwood6891]

I would actually love a video of you plugging a few complete machines in to see what they do/ what old software is on them. I'm sure that would be worth your while in terms of views.

[@jhinote1]

Copper is going down here in Michigan. Dropped $.50 a pound last week.

[@ROBERTSCOIN]

this mic seems to pick up the wind if that's what it is would it be best to put one of those foam ends over the mic to try and stop the wind sound

[@shoppy00]

386 and the early 486 did not have any heatsinks, you can see there is no heatsink mount on the motherboard.

[@bettypaysour5298]

Audio is fine!

[@sikya73]

Love to have one of those old cases for me to build a sleeper pc😄😄😄😄. Btw, those circuit lines on those old boards are actually 24k gold. Unlike today, the ate just 18k or 20k.

[@MrShekoexile]

No they're not

[@Tyler-Barnfield]

Good job mate you have done very well out of that pick up be quite abit of gold in it all be a few oz's😉👍

[@SilverScorpion]

Great video

[@evriellesmith6659]

Looks like a new van was setting at a hoarders house just waiting for you to cash it in.

[@greekgods3399]

love it

[@alexmcllaren6912]

i was in the bank here in england, and saw a person repairing a amt, i was looking at the boards ( quite a few of them, and big one at that ). first thing that came into my mind was i bet ben would love to strip one of them on a vid. am i going mad or what???.

[@georgezesner4]

I would love to see a board depopulating video, keep up the great work ben.

[@ROBERTSCOIN]

so when your orange bins get emptied they will be filled up almost the next day

[@shoppy00]

For the board mounted ceramic CPU's just set the board upsidedown on sime risers, use the heat gun on the fingers and then the CPU will just fall down.

[@Chuckiewashere]

The Nixie Tubes are sought after in the Steampunk Community. Some companies make clock kits with them!

[@silverking4281]

Hi Ben ots been a while got a ? For you I picked up some old electronics from a university they where old boards and the gold rectangular cpu and they where a cream color board with bright silver soder are they high grade also had pentium 486 chips on them

[@marcrochefort4483]

lol 2 weeks to flatten the curve... 1.5 years later

[@McCuneWindandSolar]

13:18 that thing you called not ram it is ram. Its Call Cash, a type of memory for the CPU before they put L1 or L2 cash on the cpu Die.

[@Funkybulb]

Even Nixie tube driver IC have value too.

[@Redicat]

Hey man, i love your vids and gave it a like already i just haven't been able to catch up with the content yet but i just love vintage pcs even though i am Millennial born in 1998 i just wish i was born earlier for this kind of stuff its surely getting kind of depreciated (not in value obviously)

[@DCHURT1]

finish the cleanup the house,garge,and backyard before code inforcement come in

Vacuum tubes

[@ElektrolaborHunor]

Those Nixie tubes cost a fortune nowadays.

[@jamiehubbard8823]

Have you thought of what methods you will be using in gold recovery

[@eWasteBen]

Many options, i'll wait until i'm ready then i'll start doing the research

[@silverking4281]

About 1100 lb all laboratory equipment

[@joesask857]

nice

It looks like a Hoarders.

[@Nwrathburn]

Good morning Ben!

[@eWasteBen]

Hey there!

[@Nwrathburn]

@@eWasteBen I've started pronouncing copper, "Coppah" and saying things like "That's got good scrap value there!" when we pass people piles on garbage day. It's making my wife a bit nutty.

[@eWasteBen]

Love it

[@mick488]

how did you go with the cb,s id like to get some

[@eWasteBen]

A collector bought the whole lot, he will restore them and pass them o

[@americasfavoritehoarder]

Hope you don't find any mice in those pc's.

[@luizCarlos-us1gv]

👏👏

[@amintalhaoui373]

hi Ben, I'm from France, could you make a video for us where you take the gold-plated components to extract the gold with the acid solutions?

[@eWasteBen]

Future video's. I'm still stockpiling mode, one day I will recover gold

[@amintalhaoui373]

@@eWasteBen OK thanks a lot

[@RedWhiteBlueYo]

How much is that whole computer worth in scrap after all recovery gold silver copper etc?

[@FollowMe2aMillion]

Thats a question we have all asked. Best guess, newer PCs around 15 older around 25. That's if ram and hard drive is in tact.

[@SergeMarx]

@@FollowMe2aMillion a 386 complete like that first one is worth about $150 any day of the week. The IBM, even in that poor state would easy pull $50-75. People love big blue.

[@SergeMarx]

@@FollowMe2aMillion The sound card Ben pulls from the 386 - could quite make it out,but ISA 16 bit cards are getting harder to find.. that alone probably $80

[@FollowMe2aMillion]

@@SergeMarx yeah I know. I thought he was asking scrap value. Collector value is pretty much unlimited on those old machines.

Don't throw the tube valves away, they are nixie tubes valuable

oh thank god i stopped watching.

Sounds it's not good . U need a wireless mic besides this nice video

[@markthomas625]

$4.00/kg is insane.

I know hey? Looking fwd to street scrapping so I can go get more cord food. 4k a tonne is serious money

[@ewaste-jd-preciousmetals3723]

Check my videos to that's from my friend in the Philippines how they melt gold thanks in advance. Soon I'm going to start posting my videos on what I scraped out. Love what you do mate.

[@MrCatmarch]

изверг! гореть ему в аду! нет чтобы это продать! зачем уничтожать раритеты?!

Wassup Ben 👍

[@SergeMarx]

All that effort to turn dollars into pennies. *facepalm*

[@eWasteBen]

Well, that's your opinion, thanks for watching friend

[@SergeMarx]

@@eWasteBen I enjoy your street scrapping videos mate, and you know your scrapping stuff... but watching this... well this is just vandalism. And so pointless - dunno why you're so eager to pull this stuff to pieces before you put the effort in to work what the actual market value is. Honestly heartbreaking.

[@eWasteBen]

so the parts have no market value? you value a case more than the components? Your just nit picking

[@toomaskotkas4467]

Bruh, let him make money the way he wants. He said many times in the videos that he doesn't have time and space to store all the components or the wholes systems to slowly find somebody who will need one or two of those things once in a blue moon. You do you, he does what works better for him.
