@@scrapitall200 my friend, I just got done scrapping 5 old CRT TVs and boy oh boy. I hit the mother load of copper, these TV's were from the late 70's to early 80's. The circuit boards were the old brown and thick. I am holding them as I believe they will have silver soldier and a lot of goodies on the boards as well. I found all of them in a pile beside the road. They ranged from 19" to 27" and some were Toshiba's , Apex, RCA and the others are Sanyo. But all of them are old. I am going to put all the components off the boards and see if I can extract the silver from them. I will get some pics and send them to you and get your thoughts on it. Stay safe my friend and I will see you on the next video.

Did not know about the copper solenoids. Will remove from now on. Thank you! I have been cutting my sealed units the last 2 days. A little hot. A little oily. But oh do I love the sight of that shiny orangy copper!!!( except the one with aluminum windings from a pancake shape compressor. That's no good 😢)

[@scrapitall200]

Pretty much anytime you see electrical wires going into something, good chance they have copper inside. Yeah, that dreaded aluminum disguising itself as copper is frustrating 😂 Thank you so much for watching. God bless!

[@bentleyalder5492]

All scrapping to me is therapeutic ❤ it's why I take care to calmly dissassemble everything. Also, there's an element of completeness "using every part of the [find]" to barrow and adapt a phrase from hunters. I recently baught a desoldering tool (let me know if you want the Amazon link) it makes depopulating boards a breeze and way less messy. I'm setting aside the clumps of solder to melt together and perhaps turn in at some point 😁🦝

[@scrapitall200]

It is so therapeutic to me as well. I just use a chisel and hammer, seems to work quite well, but thank you, I appreciate it.

For the spool of copper you can cut through the middle with your cutters to do it much faster. You can also tie the end of the copper wire to a drill bit and use your drill to unspool it that way but use a long bit.

Absolutely but it’s far more satisfying doing it the way I did.

The pink stuff is probably alumina with added CrO2. I have some beryllia tubes that are plain white, and I've seen magnetrons in all different colors. You probably don't want to breathe any powdered ceramic dust, but you're right, beryllia is the bad one. Just breaking it into pieces isn't really hazardous but if you're going to grind on it, try to do it under water or mineral oil to prevent dust.

One video I'd love to see is what's copper and what's brass. You see even though I'm a scrapper myself I'm red green color blind. So if i don't immediately know from experience then it automatically goes into brass. So I've always wondered how much copper I've turned in for brass.

[@scrapitall200]

Oh wow, I never thought about that. Hmm… I’ll have to give that idea some serious thought. Thank you.

[@reddemmamudirini7332]

I guess copper is reddish orange and brass is yellowish or if it's coated in zinc then will be silverish. At least that's how I sort my metals. Hope I'm not wrong

Micro scrapping is so great!!❤❤ it's a vastly underrated pass time 🥰 And there's an easier way to get that bottom plate off the magnetron. Grip the plate on the edge (just next to the folded tab) with pliers, grips, or even a small Cresent wrench, and pry/bend away from the fold; repeat on the other side if needed. Be careful, it tends to pop or release quickly😁

"Therapeutic" is probably the main reason I enjoy microscrapping. The time/$ ratio is not great, but it speaks to my fastidious nature. That said, I also don't know how to find enough to keep me busy, either. Some scrappers I enjoy watching go dumpster-diving, but my legs won't handle that. Would love some ideas where to find higher quantities of scrappables.

[@scrapitall200]

That’s awesome! Try looking on facebook marketplace for free stuff. Even online auctions are a great source to buy bulk stuff for super cheap. Place some ads in a local paper saying you will collect certain items for free. Get some business cards made and place them around your town, they are fairly inexpensive to buy. What about going around the day before garbage pick up and do some street scrapping?

@@scrapitall200 I'm not on Facebook, but I'm definitely looking into auctions. Are newspapers still a thing?

I’ll have to give that a try, thanks for the idea.

[@steveherr450]

@@scrapitall200 Actually the vise i use for this is missing the jaws. They were removed for some reason many years ago and the jaws grew legs apparently. so i set that 1/2 inch or so edge under where the jaws go just above what i think is the edge width of that plastic and just squeeze it shut, most times that end plug pops off. if i get too low it just seems to smoosh together or if i get too high the bottom doesn't pop off. stop as soon as the bottom pops off then you can pull the copper out as a whole. i even do them on the one like you smashed with the hammer. even the ones you put the screwdriver through and just unspin it. I just cut the plastic end off with a side cutter and pull it off as a unit seems faster to me but i do occasionally unstring them like that.

I talk all about it in the video I mentioned that is linked in the description.

@@scrapitall200 thats good to hear, i plan on watching that one too as i cant remember if i have or not. around a year ago or so i learned that machete trick from you. i had never thought of trying that. what a time saver over trying to bash the weld in

[@scrapitall200]

That’s awesome, I sure do love using the machete!

[@mattyal9347]

Well I had a few stators needing stripping so I bought myself a machete. It beat the hell out of my hand that was holding the machete handle and left some serious damage to the blade. The problem was the staters had 4 steel alignment pins to hold the plates together. I cul through the pins and it went easy but you may want to warn your viewere to not use the machete on these pins.

[@scrapitall200]

That’s awful, sorry that was your experience. I actually have a few times mentioned that very thing in some of my videos cause I learned the hard way myself.

[@mattyal9347]

@@scrapitall200 well I cleaned up the blade and its ready for action. I have 5 more stators and a crate full of rotors. I am always looking for a better way to drive the shaft from these rotors.

[@scrapitall200]

@@mattyal9347 I’m glad you got it cleaned up. I don’t remember if you saw my video where I show 3 ways to scrap armatures (rotors) I know a hydraulic press is the best to remove the shaft, but idk if you have one.

[@mattyal9347]

@@scrapitall200 i did see them! Before that I was throwing the whole rotor in a crucible and melting the copper off. This method is costly and time consuming.

[@scrapitall200]

@@mattyal9347 ok cool. Sorry I forgot. I try to remember as much as I can. I’m really not a big fan of rotors, seems to be a lot of work for their return, but it’s hard to pass up on copper lol.

I wish you live close by because I could give old microwave, all cords and old transformers you old Ethernet and catv wire wires I can’t be bothered I scraping I do the bigger stuff I can be bothering with the small stuff. I do hold on to a lot of stuff. I do collect the old liquid mercury thermostat throw in a plastic bottle bubble wrap every tub have probably 6 gallons now and liquid Mercury is worth a lot of money. Will sell it in future. Every raw metal has some form of value.

@@davepetro5676 I would love to take all your small scrap off your hands, but I’m sure there’s someone in your area who would be glad to take it off your hands. Oh interesting, I’ve never heard of anyone collecting mercury. Thats cool. Thank you for watching another video.

I broke a machete doing that

[@scrapitall200]

Really? I’ve cut probably 50 motors and 75 transformers with my machete and it’s still in amazing condition.

Zero $$ in micro scraaping ... period!

[@scrapitall200]

That’s not true at all! Plus, it’s a hobby that is so much fun. If you don’t like micro scrapping, why watch this video just to leave a negative comment? Don’t you think there’s enough negativity in the world already? Why add to it?
