Scavenger Follow Up (Episode: My Big Treasure Chest of Love)

[@Azoreanislandgirl64]

Hey Mike , I did watch the Netflix documentary, buy now and I did see you very quickly. You're famous. I am at a loss for words in regards to what I seen and heard of what happens with these big companies and what they get away with and still make tons of money. The waste on this planet is so detrimental, and I see how we are killing it. We need to do better.

As President Trump already said : We gonna go for MADE IN THE USA again !!!!

Thank you!!!!

Hey Mike beside board sort there are a few that will purchase blank boards. As for those fire alarm strobes I had one attached to a door in a wool shop. When we were in the back of the shop you couldn’t not hear the alarm and see the strobe.

Always a pleasure hanging out with MtS. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@ronbrandich4196]

Mike~~~THANKS FOR THE FOLLOW-UP and showing/telling what all this stuff is worth! I'd LOVE to be able to go with you one night/day to LOOK FOR good Things to Grab!!

[@kenmock308]

To my favorite Blogger! Thank you for the follow up! I look forward to every video you put out! Thanks again Mike!!

[@shanepoindexter2644]

Great finds again Mike. Some yards take electronic scrap. Sorted by mother boards, memory, and secondary flat boards like you have. They bring pretty good, but don't weigh a lot for the volume you have to have to make much money. You also have to have all the wires cut off and everyone of them unwrapped and clean.

[@PatrickLind-c6n]

Great content Mike!! Board sort will take good care of you!! They are very professional and very good at communicating they pay very fair as well. Been dealing with them for years selling all kinds of e-waste.

[@josephcormier5974]

True love watching you and I get excited when you have great finds.

[@charleschiverton9589]

Merry Xmas Mike, the main scavenger ,all the way from the 🇬🇧

[@PeterDowdy]

The ballast my yard doesn’t take them at all, I just break them down pull out all the copper transformers and other stuff inside👍 The circuit boards if they do have the gold stuff in them and there is a way to test for gold, if not then the boards could just be used for someone that is into building electrical boards😁😁😁

[@tbechtx]

Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas ‼️🎄❤

[@dannmarceau]

Have a great weekend, Mike.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Love that Quiet Air Comp - great Find ! Ah - Yes - give Boardsort a Call and explain to them what You have and they will Advice You what to do ! Thanks for the Follow Up ! Many Cheers from Australia !

[@rebeccawebster3556]

Love the followups! Keep us posted on what you end up doing with the boards!!

[@robertsmith7580]

Awesome video Mike

[@miltonodom8576]

I enjoy your follow ups.

[@scrapman502]

The circuit boards don't have much, if any gold value in them. The value is in the Copper. If you can find a recycler that will take them, you can make a few bucks. My suggestion is to remove all the bubble wrap from them and compact them into fewer boxes. Concentrate them down for storage. They are not delicate, so no need for the bubble wrap. Just takes up space.

[@ShawnMangan-w4z]

Mike you should take the compressors apart it takes about 25 minutes for a little one 3 lb of copper

[@caseysmith544]

If the two smaller pieces are indeed compressor things.

[@dr.a006]

There is still quite a bit of value of copper in the circuitry of the boards, they shred them up and recover all kinds of metals in the end.

[@pault5816]

Mike I worked for that company Pellerin & Milner they are manufacturing commercial washing machines and dryers. I worked on the CBW line. Which stands for continuous batch wash. They are modular washing machines that are 15 to 20 feet long with four stainless steel baskets in each module and you can hook them up back to back. The most modals I have seen together is 12. They are based in Louisiana.

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Inside ballasts you can find copper!

[@garyargillander744]

[@kameleoncraft98]

The blank ram sticks are going for 2$/pound scrap on boardsort site, I think your boards might be around that too :)

[@johnkranz4004]

Good update Mike

[@zband9016]

Any that are 8 1/2" x 11" can be used for spiral notebooks or clipboards. I've seen them going for 20.00 to 40.00 ea depending on what type of board and how big the board happens to be.

[@TheMorbidMagpie]

PCB boards get shredded for the copper, worth finding a yard for them

[@joseluistabares3184]

Nice video 📹. Have a great weekend! Happy Holidays

[@silviaB.LL3921]

Wish you a great weekend 👍😎🇪🇦

[@swedishchefdave49]

All boards are copper backed and the blue of green coating is an insulation material, the copper as you know is valuable, that board outfit will buy them all

[@number7__879]

Yes Sir!!!

[@JackTabor-kt2qm]

Thanks for the follow up Mike

[@markhubbard2534]

Cheers Mate!

[@tammyreeves168]

Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@strakill]

That bottle jack is not a Harbor Freight brand. PT or Power Torque usually is found at places like Oreilly's or Advanced Auto. Besides, HF only warranties their bottle jacks for 90 days after date of sale.

[@rossbrumby1957]

Probably ran out out after falling over. Open the filler plug and see, if low or dry, a top up will fix it. I've gotten many jacks like that and fixed them- even full size trolley jacks.

[@shaych03]

there are people who make jewelry out of those boards, as well. you might want to see if you have a local maker space that might have someone interested in them.

[@mikenelson3195]

I try not to miss an episode, if you decide sell those fire lights as a man cave ornament I’d be interested in one or Mabe 2 , hope you and your family have a Merry CHRISTMAS

[@metaldragonbraveheart]

Mike board sort has a set price for those boards , I sell them all the time ,

[@joesmith-es1zy]

I think they would buy them as low grade, I believe.

[@cleughy8736]

Mike if you cut them fridge compressors there is a copper ball inside you'll get more money for them.

[@Charles-r2u]

Those gauges are easy to replace and cheap to buy on the mini compressor.

[@larryjohns8823]

Did you verify that the jack bleed screw was closed and tight? If so, then it may need jack oil.😊

[@HankPanky]

My scrap yard takes circuit boards. Even with nothing on them should bring low grade.

[@HotRod12667]

I have a couple of 3 ring binders made out of boards like that.

[@mr.bearandpokekid24]

Just wondering if that big fan blade you found recently worked on your big fan? If you showed it I must have missed it. Have a Great Christmas!

[@curlyrooster118]

[@rossbrumby1957]

Those 2 fridge compressors have about $14 aussie dollars of copper wire in (about 700g each). The rest i get heavy steel price.

[@lilo7019]

Thank you very much for sharing great video

[@mikemcwilliams961]

I'd make siding out of those boards 😅

Heck yeah mike

[@truenaturestormers2525]

One thing, please let us know, what happened too the boards, but cool, ah, cool.

[@danno3497]

Try just putting some hyd oil in that jack, there is a screw plug for that

[@prayinggrandmothers734]

❤❤❤

[@jonathaningram4672]

Was wondering if those scale you use and salvaged could be re-calibrated for accuracy?

[@capeRCouple]

My yard use to pay $5.00 per battery and few years back they changed it and now you only get maybe ten cents per pound which you maybe get a dollar per battery now,big rip off and they are always dropping prices on other stuff so they can make more money and pay out less to get it,they are getting pickier with things they buy now too like washer and dryer motors because they have aluminum wire inside of them instead of copper so they use to pay 10 to 15 cents per pound but now they have to go with steel scrap so you now need a good load to make any money with those so i won't even touch them anymore.

[@paulu7751]

Maybe try a different yard???

[@capeRCouple]

@@paulu7751 there are three yards here and 2 are owned by the same person and the third one pays even less for everything

[@sondrayork6317]

You should try to make circuits using those eboards.

[@makesound4841]

how about a tabletop with those boards and some resin on the top? That would be cool i think?

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

Mike, how much for the square blue and red boards? Id have to zelle you the $$$ for the cost and shipping.

[@thereasamcwhorter6586]

Do you still can get a lot of money all of those computer boards

[@mitzaz8812]

Hey Mike, I'm watching your updated video, and yes, I'm afraid you are going to need a receipt. Because they only offer a standard 90-day limited warranty. You would have had to purchase the lifetime warranty, thus the need for a receipt and explanation of what happened. Maybe Harbor Freight would like some free advertising and replace it for free? 🤔 😊 Best of luck to you either way. ❤

love the content i would like to find a bunch of e boards like that im in the process of making a pcb wall art thing and just like anything electronic

[@marksmithson1414]

Its a shame the rhe new place wont deal with the small ballast. Good follow up Mike

[@rossbrumby1957]

I knock those type ballasts apart- once youve done 20 or so its second nature and quite easy. Not quick though and makes a mess if you arent set up well. Every copper coil adds up.

[@joshuagalactica4468]

If electronic boards have traces then they have gold, since gold is the best conductor. So probably all of those boards.
