Free Copper Street Scrapping - 123kg Organ Melt - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure - BigStackD

[@bigstackD]

Welcome back all you beautiful People . How are you doing today? Feeling great I'm hoping. Today something a bit different a huge electric organ with surprisingly good results. The previous owner couldn't get it fixed so we're quite happy to scrap it and chucked it on marketplace just to get rid of it. They're looking forward to seeing the video and what was actually inside it so sit back relax take a load off and I hope you enjoy today's video, but most importantly Have a sensational weekend and I hope to see you all next Friday👋🏻😃

[@w.w77]

I remember taking apart a big old typewriter once and thinking it had lots of pieces 😂 this is next level. I still have all the small screws from it in my workshop. I'll probably never use them 🤔 but I may one day find a use for them.

[@joshbevill1770]

Cool I'll be back to watch it when I'm done working.

[@wesleyehowell]

I've gotta admit. As a musician, and someone who plays piano and organ, it was somewhat painful to watch this being scrapped. I wish it could have been saved, but sometimes things outlive their usefulness. I'm happy to see all you were able to get out of it.

[@somejoe7777]

You can see the amount of work and design in the complexity of this organ. There is a ridiculous number of analog audio processing boards, analog audio amplifiers, and several different power supply circuits. This was incredibly expensive and very hard to design in the 1970s. Unfortunately, yes, it has outlived its usefulness because today, 90% of the electronics here can be replaced by a single digital signal processing chip on one board.

[@Suthyrngrl]

It would have made a great restoration project for a collector.

[@Chaos89P]

My family had an organ like this back in the 90's, so I more or less understand your pain.

[@nukelukas]

agree on that. Also musician here. Mostly anybody who could effectively play this marvel would not be one to fully understand what is under hood to fix it, and who understands internals (if would do it at all) it would be probably so expensive to pay for such a work that is sometimes just not worth. As looking on internals seeing so many heat sinks, probably adding to that ridiculous power consumption. If is near to working state yes - pay to save it, if is so far, probably it is time to let it go, and this is technicaly recycling so that is not throwing it away.

[@rpgbb]

A total crime, come on but no way for troglodytes to appreciate

[@bullswoodworks8398]

Amazing thought. Hundreds of people were paid to build that thing. hundreds of people probably enjoyed the music. one guy tore it to pieces, and thousands of people watched him do it.

[@MarksREmarks]

bullswoodworks: but on the bright side, thousands of people will benefit from the items that will be manufactured from the scrap that he is salvaging.

[@michaelkimberling7307]

This reminds me of my great grandmother‘s refrigerator. She finally had to replace it in the 2000s but it was from the 50s. The appliance repairman said he didn’t even know where to get parts for it let alone if they even existed. It had a curved top and was powder pink.

[@DylanTitsworth]

Parts definitely exist

[@MisterBoat]

Words can not explain how happy I get when I see these videos, I’ve even rebuilt a foundry for myself and a friends of mine just because of this guy.

[@fionagibson7529]

[@jongroom2954]

My first job was working in a music shop . I remember some of those organs where close to $15k . Crazy money in the 80's.

[@ILHillbilly67]

Funny how a 300$ keyboard can do all that and a ton more now….

[@TheMrDarius]

No kidding 15k could get you a good sized house in some states back in the 80’s. Cars werent as expensive in those times eithet

​@@ILHillbilly67It's a piece of history, no need to disrespect it.

[@hendrikwilfriedlaporte5755]

​@ILHillbilly67 rather funny how that $300 piece can't even do the sounds of for instance the vibraphone or the tesla coil (the simplest and the most electrifying sounds of the seventies)

underrated comment

[@luqmanrashid1651]

this comment reminded me of this one episode of mickey mouse as the (musical) organ donor, not the insides..that episode had a dark atmosphere to it.

[@claywest9528]

Seeing a lot of negative comments, probably from music lovers and musicians. It was stated that the former owner had attempted to get the organ fixed, but this was not an option. I know that for some people this is like seeing a work of art destroyed, it looked to be a really magnificent instrument, but broke (and not practical to fix) is broke. I'm sure that for 40 plus years it provided a lot of entertainment, for a lot of people, but nothing ( especially that complex) lasts forever.

[@tmn612]

True that they are literally worth nothing so many give them away or send to the tip

[@Storm-crow13]

Anyone mad about this video does not understand how massive of a favor you did to the original owner by taking this off their hands for free.

[@Naplesfrank154]

My dad used to have a piano organ just like that one and when it stopped working, he too was told that it would cost more to fix than it was worth. He junked it and purchased a new one for cheaper that what it would have cost to repair his old one. It was a shame because it was a beautiful piece. Unfortunately we live in a throwaway world now. I want to go back to the old days. I try to fix everything, I just feel it’s a crime to throw anything away that can be revived. Blessings to you and your family my friend from down under. ❤️

[@cruisinkruty4405]

Unbelievable amount of labor to disassemble and part out. EPIC!

[@bedfordshiremodeller4491]

That,s nothing i once had to disassemble an electric folding metal single bed using car mechanics tools/trust me that wasn,t as easy as it looked. As volentary job 20yrs ago was mostly taking apart electronic equipment and keeping the non magmetic metals such as alluminium or copper/any electrical cables as that. That we had to take down to Shanks scrap metal merchants/they,d pay us in cash which in return would go towards fuel for our furniture trucks but overall i really enjoyed doing that being avoluntary electrical dissasembler

[@claudevieaul1465]

Ahhh... 😀 As an organist (classically trained as well as pop) it's always a bit heart-wrenching to see one destroyed - but of course I also realise they do break down eventually. There's plenty of these to be had for free... I did, however, a full restore on my '61 Hammond B3 organ, which is completely unlike this old Yamaha Electone. It'll happily run for another few decades, and will easily outlive me - not becoming another melt for you, I'm afraid 😜👍 Happy to see Ingot's doing well!!! 🙏🙏

[@scottbc31h22]

Don't get too upset about it. It's not an organ for the professional organist. Note the manuals are only 49 key, four octaves; and only 13 bass pedals. Organs like this one were horribly expensive and included a scheme to get grandma to buy the "Updated Model" every couple of years. Your Hammond, on the other hand, is well worth restoring, and, parts are still available! And the restoration would cost less And it still has good resale value (not that you would ever want to sell it). Another thing about a Hammond, If properly maintained, they can run for a hundred years. I have a 1938 BC in my studio that I play at least ounce a week. I have rebuilt around a dozen Hammonds.

[@a.azazagoth5413]

The Hammond B3, especially such an early one is a gem. But I always thought Yamahas were underrated in all their instruments.

[@claudevieaul1465]

​@@scottbc31h22Of course I do realise that :) But I grew up on a Yamaha Electone (much older than this one), and immediately recognised that bar underneath the manuals - which will sustain notes... It's pretty nostalgic, in a way. Wouldn't want one, but still... ;)

[@claudevieaul1465]

​@@a.azazagoth5413Nothing comes close to a real Hammond, true enough :) Yamaha did some great stuff back in the day, and they lasted for years and years... Sad that no technician was willing to fix this organ, when all that's important is market value over cost of repair / maintenance. They're far more durable than that. But like I said, there's no shortage of these home-use organs - here in the Netherlands they can even be found for free in fine working order.

[@たっくん公式]

Hamamatsu Good Quality one!!!

[@swampy1584]

Holy crap the inside of that was insane

[@gene_takavic57]

This is the first, and probably only time in my life, I have seen an organ deconstructed. Interesting, tedious, but lots of good stuff inside! Great video.

[@MaxCarponera]

Man I'm fond on syths and retro electronics and I'd love to fix that organ. It's not even that difficult, it's just a lot of time and dedication. Or at least study it's diagramas and boards. It even had a spring reverb! At least you honored that beautifull key switches.

[@pollyseip]

It’s a no wonder why 3 electricians refused the job - goodness just look at all of those overlapping components crammed in there!! And while it’s sad the organ came to the end of its days, I am glad it found its way to you rather than in being tossed in a landfill. You give it a proper send off!! Well done @bigstackD!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@froggiedafrog]

Hey man, on those circuit boards, you have multiple high value chips. For example at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="60">1:00</a>:29 those are Yamaha YM806's which resell for around $150USD each. Considering those were seen at a glance, I'd imagine that thing has a few other chips retro synth sound guys would pay a pretty penny(or a copper bar) for.

[@jjslibrary]

Excellent catch! I was looking at those circuit boards and wondering if there was some resale value in the parts. Doesn't seem to be any for Electone parts in general, but specific vintage chips can be very hard to find for people with other instruments that use them. Very smart.

[@Michael-uj2fb]

I was wondering more of the precious metal scrap from the chips and boards. Would be interesting to know if anyone would care to share.

[@jackfntwist]

I bet there's some gold in that 70's circuitry. My grandparents had one of these. They were popular mid-century. The buttons all played like different drum beats, and cymbals, drums, etc. Like a giant synthesizer but analog, not digital. They were pretty impressive and fun to play as kids.

[@ChrisPelletier73]

Damn, I really must sleep for a few hours before watching my brother from another hemisphere!

[@MrChee5e]

Been a long time lurker of your channel. Thought id actually comment for a change and say, i love what you do.....keep doing it mate!

[@shawnwright4129]

Wow, I can see why the electricians said "No way". The wiring looks more complicated than a car's wiring harness! The organ looks like it may have originally been in a church of some sort. I wonder how the speakers sound? Some of the old stuff sounds pretty good. Those capacitors and transistors were huge. Circuit boards today that would do the same thing would probably be tiny. You could have almost used the frame as a desk. That would have looked cool. I loved the video!

[@rimka11]

You don't bring a device like that to an electrician. And you don't bring your car to a tinsmith for a repair. An organ should be checked by an audio electronic engineer. These speakers with all the set up as it was sounded wonderful. It's like a supercar of 80ties of audio tech.

[@shawnwright4129]

@@rimka11 Very cool! You're right about who should have looked at it. Some older electronics have a sound that today's just doesn't have. Thank you for answering.

[@topspeed250k5]

I was going to comment the same. An electrician would not have had the first clue, how could they have made any judgement on the repair cost? I really hope that someone pointed the owner in the right direction but it doesn't sound like it....if the whole thing stopped working, quite possibly it was something simple in a power supply. This might have actually been an avoidable tragedy.

[@matthewkizziahcuzia...gott9632]

No wonder there wasn't an electrician that wanted to work on it. Imagine trying to chase a short in that mess. 😅

[@laurawagoner9136]

Nah not hard at all, scan the boards for a burn mark or melted solder.. at least there is plenty of space in there to work, no busted knuckles.

[@justinbarrier3459]

Hahaha ya ? That wouldn’t be hard at all… there not even a couple feet runs for 90% of the wiring. If you can’t find immediate damage that’s apparent. Then you can just trace down the open fault by process of elimination and doing section testing one at a time … You wanna see what’s hard for an open fault ? Try a hospital from the 1950s or data center … where you have hundreds of miles of wire in the ceiling and the ceiling has 2 feet above tiles that holds dozens of other trades components like HVAC , plumbing , fire etc so there is no room! Then per joint commissions the hospital regulations decision . You can’t pop any ceiling tile without negative pressure permits and enclosed work area. So a work permit for that area must be given to hospital and a negative pressure tent set up for that room or area.. if you can’t find the open fault in that area you just set up for.. well good luck as you do that over and over again to find it . A couple feet at a time … I’ve scene techs quit and walk off job literally cause there on site for a week trying to chase down the fault in these 1950s components and the red tape you have to go through

[@Infinity_Squad]

[@marcelvanheezik444]

Another awesome video. You strip down machines and devices expertly. I know that there is a lot happening behind the scenes which isn't shown on camera, but once again you've completed another interesting deconstruction. Well done.

[@antharro]

Fantastic; and, while it is sad to see the end of a piece of musical equipment like that, you at least gave it a decent send-off and took it apart for recycling, rather than smashing it up and the whole thing ending up in landfill. So kudos to you for that. There was a Yamaha logo on one of the key decks that might have been worth keeping as a souvenir, and a model logo on the music stand. I expect it's all long gone now but if by change you have the PCBs left, please do consider eBaying them; some of those chips are long discontinued and worth a few $$$.

[@marksoler7338]

Gotta appreciate people who design and assemble such things....

[@aceadman]

That breakdown looked absolutely BRUTAL! My father had a very similar lowrey organ from the same era. When he passed, my brother and I cut it up with reciprocating saws just to get it out of his apartment. And I thought THAT was difficult. 😊👍👍

[@Consequator]

That organ looks like it would be worth a small fortune as spare parts as opposed to melting it down. I saw a lot of components that audiophiles who make their own speakers and amplifiers would love to get their hands on. The print boards would depend on how many of these organs are still out there in the wild. This one was really painful to watch ..

[@sparksmcgee6641]

I had a guy running an estate sale pay me $30 to haul off an early '60s organ once on the last day of the sale. It didn't work either so I stripped it out for parts and hardware. I sold all of the vacuum tubes to a guy on eBay for $1,200 USD!

I gotta believe that some of those components were super hard to find components and that somebody is, this very minute, searching the internet for them in order to pay you almost any price. But it was a good melt.

[@abysspegasusgaming]

A lot of those parts and electronics could catch high value since most of which likely aren't produced anymore, even the transistors, MOSFET's, and IC's. Yamaha brand speakers? High quality right there for how old the organ was! Should've kept the crossovers together with them and build up a nice speaker box as Yamaha parts were absolutely amazing back in the 80's.

A small tip: be careful when dismantling capacitors (black barrel-like things with white stripe on a side) from electronics, as they can still hold electric charge. You can discharge them by putting a metal screwdriver between metal contacts, otherwise you can get shocked if you accidentally touch them. Stay safe!

[@tombrandt365]

​@@flamakesparkPlenty of capacitors but did you see that FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!!!?

[@hubbsllc]

In this instrument the ones to watch out for are the large ones in the power supply for the amplifier but those are only subject to tens of volts. Also, they drain into the circuitry they power whereas in tube amps the other tubes will have stopped conducting when their heaters cool down right after being turned off; you can have power supply caps left holding hundreds of volts for quite a while.

YUP, big ones do hurt! I think Touching one of those still charged is more dangerous than touching a live main wire of your house.

An awesome video as always, stacks are getting bigger but a souvenir on the wall is never pointless, the memories of your journey are priceless

Question: For the wires that are too small for your stripper, why not melt them and then skim any residual plastic off the top like you do any other slag? I'm sure a lot of the plastic would simply burn off given the high temperatures of the blast furnace.

[@torchandhammer]

The plastic would burn off but it would emit highly toxic fumes.

Wreck the crucible and fumes. Old scrapers I knew just started an open fire or one in a stove to burn the insulation off then they still had. Lot of work cleaning it up. That's was 10-16 gauge. This stuff needs to be shredded and the insulation blown off. Commercial recycling

I think I've found my genre of ASMR.

Okay, dude. I've said nothing about the dog segments cause I know for some insane reason a lot of people like dogs. But could you AT LEAST not start a video with that doggo pleasuring himself??

[@chloeconniecarlton328]

Great vidd! I've never seen an organ breakdown before.. Thank you for allow the viewers enough time to read your messages!😊

Hello from the 313 Big Stackd 😎 It’s about <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="195">3:15</a> am 11/10/23 in Detroit and I’m already loving this new vid. Have a blessed weekend and say hello to Ingot and Bullion for me. I’m more of a cat person but your dogs are so adorable and I look forward to seeing them every week too lol Great vid as always… 👍🏼😎

[@PossumLover1111]

WOW, I was mesmerized every minute, second of this video. The hour went by so fast I forgot to eat. Glad I fed all the animals first earlier. LOVED it all, the dogs especially. Missed seeing you having a beer and saluting the flag. Such a great watch. Thank you for taking my mind off of the politics of the world for a while.

Even disassembling it looks hard, nothing to tell about repairing

[@MarshallOfThisTown]

That's insane. Most satisfying video I have watched in years.
