Inside an Ultrasound Machine, Super Duper Scrap

Scrapping an Ultrasound sounds like a quick & simple scrap out but it turned into an epic scrap out!
Awesome gold recovery items and an interesting piece of e-waste to scrap out.

Even though you have told us 1000 times what something is, there are always someone new viewing and learning. 👍

[@philais]

I am an ultrasound tech for the last 40 years.....yea 40 years! I recognize some of those boards made by ATL. It took a lot of technology back in the day to make soundwaves into images.Technology has really changed. That unit new was over $100k US. I use a $5k laptop unit now that does everything that unit did & I use it to do home cases now.Better on the back.

[@travisnichols2485]

Yep like me thank you for the videos

[@Andrew_Sparrow]

Under that last board you left in there is where they put the gold bars to help counter weight the machine ;)

[@Wazup52]

You always know it's gonna be a good video when he says he doesn't want it to be a long video in the start and it ends up being over an hour ahaha

[@shaunyshaun86]

Loved how you said you didnt want this video being an hour long and yet it goes on for an hr n a half haha

[@jeffreysamuels9610]

Me and my grandson really enjoyed this video. He really like it when u went old school scrapper to get that one part off. We love the videos we have learned alot from u. Thanks have a blessed day.

[@wghead]

Definitely get the other one!

[@Zitechman]

For sure! Good video btw. :D

[@EeekItsSnek]

Watching you rip and tear the drawers out made me laugh. All roller style shelves or drawers have a little plastic release lever on the rail toward the bottom left and right of the drawer. But kicking them works too 😆

[@garyammerman2153]

So much enthusiasm exhibited in this vid...loved it! Good on you mate!

[@sun2sand2snow]

This was a great video. I couldn't stop laughing when you kicked that slide out with the mother board and it just fell out. Good one Ben, thanks!

[@toomaskotkas4467]

"That's the professional way to scrap!". LOL

[@cloverking1717]

I'm sure glad that you are breaking this down and not me!! Good job mate!!!

[@scrapitaus]

New video! Awesome video by the way!

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

WOW - THAT WAS A FASCINATING SCRAP - WELL DONE - MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET !!!!

[@RoeMantic]

Here we go again I Ben waiting lol!

[@mirutanable]

i would keep the monitor arm and mount for use in conjunction with a microscope. or use it for testing old pc's or consoles that you may get

[@joekaram1465]

Love your stuff I try to keep up with your scraping endeavors as quickly as you produce them. Thank you for all the effort you do. This one was worth every second.

[@ewastecoalition6416]

This video made me look at the businesses around me in a whole different way. Wow!! Yeah, it took a little while, but he pulled out the equivalent of 10+ computers.

[@RoadgamerTV]

"Alright, alright, alright" 0:50 AM in Germany and the beer is out, but no meanwhile with a new video from Australias best Scrapper ya. 😎😎😎 Thanks Ben and greets from Berlin 😉👍

[@scrapman502]

1:12:08. What you're looking at is a load of relays. Each of them have copper spools in them along with silver plated contacts.

[@MrLoverable3]

Enjoy your youtube channel. Keep it up ben. Love scrapping myself cheers AAAAA++++++

[@barrywest3758]

Bingo, says Ben!😆 What a scrap session, I could see your toes curl up Ben, and with your shoes on, when you discovered that one board. LOL I really enjoyed this video 👍👍💪💪 Thanks

[@wghead]

Super interesting video! Love seeing unusual stuff getting scrapped. Looking forward to that giant tv.

[@pilbarawellsy1522]

Nice scrap out vid mate. Keep them coming.

[@poosmate]

It's the machine that just keeps giving! Well done and I hope you got the other one. Take care, Poo

[@baharuddinbesah3709]

Hi Ben good morning another great video take care your health and keep scrapping regard 👍👍👍👍🇸🇬

[@davidranew4851]

Great Video Ben Nice Score On The Ultra Sound Machine Keep Bringing The Videos Dude👍👍

[@jackpotgman892]

Hello Ben! From the USA, I've been a subscriber to the channel 👍 for better than a year. It's always nice to tune in when you're breaking down good quality 👌 electronics as you share your excitement and knowledge. Continued success and happy scrapping.

[@RafalScrapper]

lol Ben wath out for your neighbour as they see you dragging two more of that machines into your yard they can take you for Frankenstein lol

[@ArrowBoYz2.0]

Good day mate!! Excellent effing video mate..!!!

[@lfurches]

I'm glad you explain things. I'm neither a computer person nor a scraper e-waste or otherwise. I'm just a mom who is also a librarian who loves knowledge and has a son who is into IT and computers. He will go to computer engineering university in two years. So I appreciate learning this. I now can talk to my son about his passion. He asked for an old server and parts for his 16th birthday so he can rebuild it. He's been taking apart other computers as well. Anyway thanks for what you're doing for not just scrapers but future ones

[@harryverboom4032]

Always a special and never seen scrapout whats next ben a ct scanner haha thanks for the fun

[@joselbazcom4221]

That was quite an adventure full of surprises. Thanks it's always interesting.

[@lynnanir]

WOW!!! Coincidentally, they've lately retired 4 of these machines at the hospital where I work. They're just taking up space and not sure what they'll do with them. Those things are well built and super heavy. I work with a cardiac ultra sound tech and often have to push her machine to set it up. No board sort or anywhere to sell boards here in Canada that I know of. I usually just take them apart for the copper and aluminium. Just hoarding the rest for now: cpus, ram sticks, and all the little nuggets on the boards.

[@CompGuy66]

Do you have any of the motherboards. I collect old computer hardware and have been hunting for an iwill dp533 motherboard for a few years now. As far as I know these philips machines use that exact same motherboard. Please let me know. I am located in Manitoba.

[@lynnanir]

@@CompGuy66, the machines are at the hospital. I don't have the space or any way to take them. I just took apart a few computers. The oldest were dates 2005-2006. 2 Dell, an HP and a newer LG. Some I've started to depopulate and others I left as is. I'll check for that # on the boards I already have. I did take apart a few very old computers. If you give me your e-mail address I can send pics. I live in New Brunswick.

[@CompGuy66]

Rina Martin How can I reach you? I do not see a private message option here on youtube.

[@CompGuy66]

Rina Martin You can email me at [e-mail]

[@lynnanir]

@@CompGuy66 Just sent you an e-mail.

[@rockman531]

Absolutely get the other one Great video!!

[@anamariaionascu1889]

Really enjoyed the video. Thank you.

[@kphelps5431]

That's freaking awesome. My scouts are looking to get a donation of alot of equipment like this. This is going to be awesome on the recycling. Thanks for the post.

[@BruceLee-mo4pn]

Thank You Sir, Like all your videos. Your videos are a break from the nwo world. I am simple minded so you can never tell me anything to many times. Thank you again Sir.

[@scrapman502]

It's funny how you tackle problems. You're holding a cable with a connector that pulls apart clearly in-between. So Instead of pulling the cable apart, your tool of choice is...Wait for it... A wire cutter! 17:35

[@toyfreaks]

This was fun! Love seeing weird machines

[@denp54z]

Great video !

[@seberous]

GO GET THE OTHER. SNAP IT UP!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@jeffemiller1470]

Moral of the show is never give 100K UT machine to a srcapper! Ha

[@madduck692002]

Go for it Ben!

[@Pottymouth12gaming]

Hell man a nice scrap. Keep them coming please n like your video's.

[@pederlindstrom3132]

Hello Ben, Sweden here again. Good thing you mentioned coffee, stripping wire in the garage and took a thermos with me... I also have helicopters around me from time to time but they are mascerading as Coast Guard 🤣 Stay safe and take care.

[@send2georgie_S2G]

150% fantastic vid Ben!! ;) Pls post the scrapping video of that giant tv. Good luck with the second ultrasound machine!! Stay safe bro!

[@offal]

love it, like a kid in a sweet shop

[@jasonbutton3342]

Loved the video one of the best

[@UnwellGaming]

amazing video. loved every second.

[@Alrik.]

What an amazing score Ben! I sure hope you got the other one as well!

[@bettypaysour5298]

I hope you were able to get the second machine!

[@deethedeeplorablemorand2327]

Big hammer Ben and if that don't work get a bigger hammer , Ben and if that doesn't work get just one stick of dinomite. Ha ,ha. Best wishes Ben

[@scottellis7618]

Hey Ben this was an awesome video, love these surprise videos long videos lol are great keep em going

[@stephenjohnson2195]

Absolutely brilliant video Ben i really enjoyed this one. Don't apologise for how long they are, the longer the better. If they are too long to watch in one go then it's easy to watch in stages

[@emg58104]

Nice video!

[@sharkscrapper]

I'd say get the other one but I'm biased to scrapping new and unusual things cause it's just so much fun. However you can justify it with those great boards for gold recovery. Plus, now that you have an idea of how to get in it and don't need to record, the scrap should go faster.

[@ihearDeadpeople]

Awesome !!

[@TheWinalot]

That big lever is just to push the back plane evenly on to the daughter boards. Awesome video dude

[@ersiny6485]

Great video , thx

[@installelogique7721]

Plz tell your friend to drop it off my place if you don't have room :). He can load my backyard whit these anytime :).This thing is awesome. I was amaze whit the Cisco server racks last video, but this beat it X 10.Ty for sharing this Ben. Have a great one and stay safe mate.

[@G-V-M]

invest in a trailer for those oddly picks

[@donnierobertson3088]

Nice job

[@rimka11]

You should get a small dosimeter or a geiger counter for when you get some strange or medical equipment for scrap.

[@harleyfan3875]

Go for it!

[@boardsortnl5748]

nice to watch your channel

[@chrislucas2283]

That was Ultra good

[@p0ln]

obscure three for free reference, he's always on the hunt

[@deonhavenga6197]

The angle of the camera is fine thanks. It makes it more interesting viewing, angles, or positions that you have to be in to remove screws or panels. It like I am right there.

[@bettypaysour5298]

As much as an ultrasound costs the machine should be made in pure gold!

[@streetcopper1151]

That’s awesome great video.. I just got my first two pick ups and one of them being 5 pcs I was excited about that till I saw this 😂😂😂..as always thanks Ben

[@offal]

Best scrap ever dude.....

[@FollowMe2aMillion]

Just a beautiful machine.

[@danielluma2948]

Ben great job get that Gold, nice boards can you get the other 2 ultrasound machines ? You are one of the best scrappers I have been watching for a few many years now. You are the man down under. Keep up the great work and have fun doing it

[@josephortiz6276]

Ben.. You know your short on time.. But your dying to go get it.. Don't miss that change you have... Best of luck...

[@donutdarin]

you should have a small bucket near where you take apart things, just to put all the screws in. they add up in weight pretty fast.

[@platinumskies7968]

Great vid ben and even the magnetic MLCCs are worth taking they have PD and AG but smaller amounts but still worth taking

[@goatjuggler]

Very enjoyable watch, Ben, thanks for sharing! Boggles the mind how much design, engineering and over-speccing goes into these machines; probably justifies the price. Now imagine printed out versions of the design documents and schematics down to each electrical component: could probably fill a warehouse!

[@ryanstruble5381]

Absolutely get the other one

[@scrapman502]

at 9:10 Don't want to make this a 1 hour video? No, it's a 1:37:30 video!

[@greekgods3399]

love it

[@rossbrumby1957]

I stripped an older philips ultrasound (crt monitor) from Seaside vets here in Wallaroo. It weighed 200kg according to the operator's book. Stripped bare, there was 74kg of aluminium chassis/panelling, about 20- 25 large pcb's, 2 large transformers. I still have the heavy duty dual wheel castors with suspension. Not a massive amount of wires. Good money for the ally.

[@robertmandigo7942]

Go for it lots of good metal and boards. I would take a dozen.

[@Andrew_Sparrow]

Did you get the second one?

[@kylebarnes3262]

Awesome really really enjoyed this scrap out, what a score!! Well done ben 👍 loved some of those server grade boards, real nice 👍

[@simpleoverlander]

Cool to see what is inside! I don’t even scrap and watch your vids. Often to chill out at the end of the day or have them on in the background. I often wake up and they are still playing lol Hopefully that helps with the ad revenue 👍 Keep it up. Cheers from the U.S.

[@eWasteBen]

Thanks for watching!

[@roof_facade_references]

Master ben realy very good and very suprised a scrap last scrap maybe you DIY tools table :))

[@insanepsycho2224]

Wow now I need to find me a ultrasound machine to scrap

[@carlpeterson2395]

What a butcher, That unit had enormous value for recycled parts, but, you destroyed all the value there was. For your $ 50.00 of scrap, probably was worth $2000.00 U.S. Parted out online. These machines are purchased regularly for use in third world countries.

[@dylanquartly3944]

I like the videos when you are talking stuff apart and with the hole of it on video

[@babausa6010]

May be make a work bench on wheels out of this? Good video,Stay safe and healthy.

[@josephdertinger9857]

thanx ben

[@Reptieye]

Most interesting scrap I've had was an echocardiogram machine and it had similar boards but I had no knowledge of circuit boards so I just thought they were pretty and scrapped them without thinking about it

[@travisnichols2485]

Do you have a video of what all comes out of computer towers that have gold in them? Thank you really like your videos

[@RafalScrapper]

those blocks on the back they are tiny relays so they will have some copper spools tiny one and at least silver contacts or may be even gold tho so far i found gold contact only in blue colored ones might be accidental but ...

[@lise-lottelundroeddik4706]

WAUWEE! AWESOME SCRAP BEN! I was thinking all them boards would look fantastic on a wall, remember you talked about making a wall of them?, and also I was thinking this heavy thing on weels, if they could lock, and there would have been some hydrolics, then you could use that engine you found in that japanese "getting fitt board" to power a table up and down, so you could either sit or stand, and you could wheel it around also. Thank you for showing this, was educational, and satifying for my curiosity ;)

[@keytefirerefining1355]

The black things all over your board you were breaking up isn't a transformer it is a relay. Has almost pure silver contacts

[@jwilson1415]

I've drilled out rivets before but with your operation and current prices of Alum I'd probably do iron/alum as well. If I got one of those I'd defiantly go back for more, some nice stuff in there and for me not super heavy on plastic waste considering the overall weight.

[@ninjabothandyman6063]

Ben I'm clear in Salt Lake City, Utah living/working mate and should you not want to pick this other ultrasound machine up to scrap man, then I'll fly over and grab it 😜

[@jxavier3876]

The casters on it look high quality

[@Bagline]

the lever is there to ensure even pressure application so all the pins get connected properly.( and remain undamaged)
