[@nachostuff]

Yet another thing I will have to start going after. You are teaching me too much stuff and feel like I need to be better at cleaning what I can. Happy Hunting.

[@sharkscrapper]

Awesome Nacho - so happy I'm helping you be a more informed scrapper.

[@RafalScrapper]

you deffo done your reaserch, on that my friend, tough you still mix up enig stuff with plated ones, tough no worries, one day you will tell the diference between just by the look... cheers sharkie 👍

And yet so many scrappers just toss them into the shred pile.

[@sharkscrapper]

Hopefully some will watch this and reconsider.

[@SilverScorpion]

Super video. I learned alot! Thanks for doing this one

[@sharkscrapper]

My pleasure! Let me know if you have any other topics you'd me to cover.

[@Alrik.]

Thank you for showing us! I think this was the first time we saw you use the "vice and brute force" method 🤣

[@sharkscrapper]

😁 brute force yes, but no hammer action I'm afraid.

[@streetcopper1151]

That’s awesome.. thank you for this video and giving the price from boardsort.. I really appreciate this video shark 👊🏻to bad screws aren’t worth 50 dollars a pound 🤣

[@sharkscrapper]

No kidding - more screws than the law allows I'd say.

[@streetcopper1151]

@@sharkscrapper yes sir .. the very little of them that I’ve got I thought the same thing 🤣

[@cuscrapping]

I was surprised at how nice those boards were when I did my first one. THIN, but nice. I've just been stockpiling them seperately for now. Would those be peripheral or low telcom for Boardsort?

[@boardsort]

Peripheral High

Nice boards

Yes they are

[@poosmate]

Nice amount of ali there and gold. Crikey, you could open up your own screw company with all those screws! Never said this before but I love the way you say "on" kind of like has a bit of New York drawl (forgive me, I'm English) - owwn - love it! Take care, Poo (edit: Spelling)

[@sharkscrapper]

LMAO - Mrs. Shark is always making fun of how I say "on" 🤣😆

[@boardsort]

Excellent tutorial on sat feed horns and the boards contained within!

Many thanks!

Sweet scrap I have always done feed horns even from the ten ft dishes back then it was better gold outstanding video sir five stars my friend thank you

[@sharkscrapper]

Thanks 👍 Joseph - glad you liked it.

[@thescrapmeister]

Holey screws! But if you got the time, they got your boards.

[@sharkscrapper]

Yup, there's a lot of screws.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid thanks

[@lfurches]

Thanks for doing this! I always seem to have trouble with them.

[@sharkscrapper]

They can be a little difficult. I just haven't found an easier way into them yet.

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

i have alot then units just took 2 home and looked, its an small board in them, and alot of great stuff i got ;) great video

[@sharkscrapper]

Cool - have fun scrapping them.

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

@@sharkscrapper its to easy but funny hehe thanks ;)

[@scrappingadventures290]

That's really cool, I want to get into gold recovery at some point, seems fun 👍😃

[@sharkscrapper]

Lot's of channels out there talking about it. Check out my friend Scrapping Irish for instance or 999 Dusan.

[@ScrappingIrish]

hyperventilating is a understatement lol

[@sharkscrapper]

Glad it lived up to my expectation for you 😁

[@andrewpowell6457]

Someone loved screws

[@sharkscrapper]

The design engineers were have a competition on who could design in the most screws 😂

[@jwilson1415]

I do enjoy taking those apart when I find them, I don't find them often but still find it worth taking apart especially since Aluminum has been going for good prices now compared to just a few years ago. Many screws though so they do take time to clean up. Ran into some odd screws on the last set from a Dish TV, had torx head on the screw, they looked like little torx driver bits sticking up so I ended up buying some female Torx Socket bits to help with those.

[@sharkscrapper]

Jay - yes, those are security Torx screws. They were designed to drive us nuts 🤣 You may have noticed the bits you purchased are designated ST# with the # being the size.

[@dr.a006]

LOTS of screws! Sheesh. Ya.

[@barrywest3758]

Nah I think I'll pass on those! LOL, to much work and I don't want to be rich! Shred. Enjoyed 👍👍

[@sharkscrapper]

🤣 You crack me up sometimes Barry.

[@kphelps5431]

OK, I was surprised on this one. I had no idea what was inside. I will now keep these. Were can one go to get the correct drivers for easier disassemble of hard drives and boards. I get alot of computers printers but the work would go better with the right tools. Don't misunderstand I've got tons of tools. Just not the right ones on computers. When working I like smarter not harder. I do recycling for my scouts so this would be plus.

[@sharkscrapper]

I understand completely about having tons of tools but not always the right or most efficient ones. I get similar questions to this frequently enough that I've opened a small Amazon shop to make it easy for folks to find the tools I used. Complete transparency - I earn a commission on sales if you use this link. A portion of profits goes towards future shark research/adoption projects. The torx heads are here: amzn.to/3nlixsi

[@kphelps5431]

@@sharkscrapper thank you so much....

[@dr.a006]

Yep. I always had odds and ends for screwdriver bits for the drill. I had a hand set of torx and still use for out of reach screws, but a good bit kit with variety of sizes is pretty cheap and pays for itself with time saved. And get a little manual set of tiny ones for hard drives and small torx screws. Careful using them in a power drill though cuz they can break the tips if the screw is too tight.

[@sharkscrapper]

@@dr.a006 Spot on, especially the hand tools.

[@dr.a006]

8000 screws later there is some satisfaction with the end results. 😅 Why is the yellow sheen of gold so attractive?? Even though these are a few atoms thick.

[@sharkscrapper]

I've asked myself that same question many times. Even when we know how thin it is, we're still drawn to it like moths to a flame...a golden flame.

[@bevsman3284]

Sir, you are making that so much harder than it actually is. The compound in the screw holes is so easy to simply scor out with a knife or screwdriver. Then you just remove the screws easily. Now your cast aluminum is clean.

[@sharkscrapper]

I've done a lot of these and very few were easy to get clean screw holes. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I've had many more that did not cooperate.

[@bevsman3284]

I guess I've been extremely lucky because every one of those things I've scraped out was very easy.

[@tommyulman6623]

how do you tell the difference in gold , gold plate , and brass

[@sharkscrapper]

In electronics the function of what you're assessing helps a lot. Most things that look gold are gold plated. Older electronics, pins, connectors, etc use gold plating. Newer electronics use ENIG on boards because it is less expensive UNLESS it is a connector, then plating is still needed. Brass with a high shine can be a little tricky but when held up next to gold you can see the difference. Gold test solutions are also very helpful, especially if you have jewelry that you're assessing.

[@marthashipman9010]

I have wondered about what was within feed horns! Looks a bit time consuming to scrap them out. But if you are doing them it must be worth it. Do you sell them of plan on capturing the gold yourself? Enjoyed video!😊

[@sharkscrapper]

Martha - a very good point about being time consuming. These are in my inventory for slow days. I let them accumulate and knock out a bunch of them at a time. I get faster with each one when I'm on a roll. I don't do gold recovery and sell these to BOARDSORT as peripheral high grade.

[@dr.a006]

@@sharkscrapper they kinda sit on my back burner too. Some cast Aluminum and a nice little board and some stainless screws.

[@colewyatt5298]

Where do you even get these from?

[@sharkscrapper]

I find them on the street during bulk pick up days. You'll see them in some of my street scrapping videos.

[@colewyatt5298]

@Shark Scrapper ah thanks. Haven't found any yet myself
