Scrapping some large stereo equipment for loads of free copper, aluminum, tin, and other metals.

Hello scrappers and planet lovers. In this video, I will show you all the free copper, aluminum, tin, and other metals that are found in some large stereo equipment. I will show you how to identify and sort the metals in order to help maximize your profit and divert as much of the material away from the landfill as possible.
Here are the links to the other videos mentioned:

Thankyou so much for keeping these out of landfill

[@TinManScrapper]

Yes, I always try to do my part in keeping them out of the landfills if not in good workable condition.

Great video my friend

[@tugboatshorty]

Wowww 🤩 awesome video as usual 😍😍😍

[@TinManScrapper]

Thank you for the comment and for watching.

Final weight: (tin 15.6 lbs x $0.06). + (17lbs transformers with 2.8lbs #2 copper x $4.88lb and 14.5lbs tin) + (2.4lbs aluminum x $0.60lb) NOTE: video recorded a while back and prices have gone up since taping

I love digging into these stereos. To people who are no longer using them for their intended purpose and are not infected with the scrapper virus, they are nothing but a giant obstacle.

[@TinManScrapper]

I agree. Great items to scrap and Imdo find them often. Thanks for wa!

[@murlbailer3755]

I just stripped one of those wires. Down to the copper. I don’t have room for all the extra.✌️

[@TinManScrapper]

Oh yeah, space is something scrappers always fight for.

[@mariushmedias]

If you scrap often such devices, it may be more profitable to actually desolder those transistors from the big heatsink and put them on the site that starts with e and ends in bay. There's people that repair such amplifiers and need those parts. Yeah, the tab may be copper or plated steel, and the actual die is connected to that copper using bonding wires that are made of gold or gold-alloy wire. The transformers can also be worth some money (more than if you'd pull out the copper out of it) , lots of people make hobby amplifiers or adjustable linear power supplies and need such transformers.

[@TinManScrapper]

Yeah, I have thought of that, just showing other scrappers what there is on some of the items we use each day. Thanks for the tip and comment. Stay well and happy scrapping. Yes, would probably get more money on ebay

[@fcojaviergutierrezravegarc8464]

Greetings fom Spain...Tinman, in Spain this piece of extrutión aluminium is aluminium only 😢 i think is extution aluminium too, i think recobery centers obtain double money because they got ir extrution aluminum any they pay to me aluminium price, i Hope you understand me, sorry mu english is very bad, thanks for you Channel...go on 😂

[@TinManScrapper]

Yeah, unfortunately there are some scrapyards that do offer less price for items that are worth a lot more. luckily here there are a number of scrapyards so if you shop around, you can usually get a better price somewhere else. You may not have that luxury. Thanks again for watching. Stay well and happy scrapping

[@christophertaylor2464]

Yes you can make more money taking them apart.

[@TinManScrapper]

It really is crazy the difference in profit taking it apart opposed to bringing it in whole for ewaste price.

[@murlbailer3755]

What are those big round things that are wrapped? I know they are aluminum. Sometimes if they are big I will take them apart. Also do you know what the material is inside?✌️

[@eltonbrazier2295]

At Zubicks they say painted extruded is one cent less than non painted

[@TinManScrapper]

Yup, I laugh though since a lot of the time they just throw it all together when they weigh it for me.

[@fcojaviergutierrezravegarc8464]

You show ceramic capacitors...what are they made of? Maybe silver? Thanks

[@TinManScrapper]

Not sure actually.

[@jaxkasedad4953]

Have you refined any of the silver contacts? I haven’t seen anyone that has done that yet.

[@TinManScrapper]

No, unfortunately you need a lot to make it worth while. Also since I am in Canada it is harder to get the necessary chemicals.

[@brianf4342]

Tin Man how about circuit breakers? I have a lot of the big black boxes ones not sure how to scrap.

[@TinManScrapper]

I have done a video on circuit breakers. Good amount of brass and copper inside. Break them open with a hammer.

[@Fantasy179]

I did a whole box of them yesterday by drilling out the rivets. There's also copper coated steel in them, so always test with a magnet.

[@TinManScrapper]

@@Fantasy179 Nice score.

[@stephenfiore9960]

…(A). Can you get an electrical shock from the capacitors tha have chargers?? (B), Whar about touching poisonous chemicals??

[@TinManScrapper]

The larger capacitors from microwaves can have a charge, but I have never been shock since I touch the connectors first with rubberized handled pliers before tear down.

[@stephenfiore9960]

@@TinManScrapper thanks

[@dazasc3994]

absolute clown, the yamaha receiver in the middle was easily $100 on marketplace. i'm the guy who goes to the scrapyard and makes thousands flipping the $$$ stuff people are too dumb to do the research on.

[@TinManScrapper]

I don’t know why you are so harsh. I was told it no longer works and just glad it was kept out of the landfill.

[@dazasc3994]

@@TinManScrapper still 40-50 for parts, ripping this stuff apart is just pointless
