Rusty treasures. Stock in trade for the Ultimate Recycler!

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Absolutely Nas - although they don't need to be quite so rusty!!

[@andyc972]

Thanks Chris, that was another mixed bag, but always surprising how much it adds up to, and that's excluding the keepers ! Always a result when the PC boots up with no problem !

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks Andy! I'm hoping all the PCs boot up - it will make the stack much faster to get through! 😊👍

[@Th3Pr0digalS0n]

Those little suitcases are surprising at times. Whenn all the computers go you will have some great space.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks mate. Yep - I'm keen to get through the computers quickly and move onto more variety! But they have to be done! 👍

[@magnushenriksson6580]

Kudos and cheers for removing the hard drives from the computers.Excellent video as always.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks Magnus 😊👍

[@afineliner740]

Just like 'my' old school case. Some good keepers in that lot. I've got a couple of very small off-set screwdrivers like those, that I bought (I think from Grace Bros) in the 70's. 👍

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Yep Alex, I've got some small ones somewhere too - just not sure what the large ones would be for!

[@noddynoodle7060]

Hi Chris, the emergency storage shed continues to provide like an Aladdin's cave. That total keeps rising and rising. Cheers NN

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Yes NN, it's the shed that keeps on giving! 😀👍

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thanks for sharing

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks Cynthia 😊👍

[@wayneday3916]

That offset screw driver looks like the tool for my garbage disposal for when something get jammed in it

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Haha, and it would probably do a mighty fine job Wayne! 🤣

[@martincowie4520]

Yikes! Episode 73!! They quickly add up... thanks for sharing.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks Martin, and we still have a long way to go!! 😲😁

[@DavidTheDave]

From memory those older PCs would check the floppy drive (A:) first by default so that you could boot from it. If there was no floppy there it would then try to read the hard drive (C:). So the warning you saw on the screen probably just means there is no floppy in the drive rather than an A: drive failure.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Yep, that sounds likely Dave! Thanks mate 👍😊

[@theaussienurseflipper.8113]

I just think today, have not had video from U in a while, good to see U did something else, with pc. Enjoy the old tools, electronics was getting a little bit boring. Cheers Graham

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks Graham! Yeah, I'll try and keep things mixed up a bit - but I do have a lot of PCs to get through!

[@theaussienurseflipper.8113]

@@TheUltimateRecycler I see, maybe try to do them all in one video and then out the way

[@patrickwilliams4613]

Good video thank you

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks Patrick! 👍😊

[@rolfwood1757]

Those wheels could be anti scalp wheels from a ride on mower deck. Ordinary trolley wheels get ripped apart on a mower deck, I've tried them.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Yes Rolf, I agree. That's probably where they came from. Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@deej4101]

Those wheels have a familiar look. Any idea what they came from? Well done on the total. I'm starting to not be surprised anymore. It's like you wave a magic wand. 😀

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Haha, well let's hope the magic wand keeps performing Dee! 😁 The wheels could have been off a ride-on mower cutting deck I think..

[@deej4101]

@@TheUltimateRecycler That makes sense. I remember now that they reminded me of the wheels on a service trolley I used as a volunteer in a hospital.

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Apple made a machine in 1997 with this same form factor and PC parts called the PowerMac 4400.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

I don't think I have any Apple machines here! But then, you never know!

[@HughJeffreys]

@@TheUltimateRecycler Chris, you have a Blue iMac in your car port.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

@@HughJeffreys haha, I do too! Do you also know where my 10mm spanner is? 🤣🤣

[@tonymontana897]

That was educational. Thanks. I didn't know there was a "whitworth" designation for spanners. I thought it was to do with threads etc. Something new to ponder.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks for watching Tony! 👍😊

[@Man-in-da-shed]

😂 it’ll come in Handy. 😂

🤣🤣 You know it Ian! 🙄😉
