I came in for a scrapping break to find this upload. Wow, I can't wait to see a scrap marathon of this stuff, gorgeous, I get so excited with this older stuff! A couple of bits like the mixer look absolutely awesome and would be great for TV /film props. I LOVED this, scrumptious!!!

Wow Ben, that's a pick-up that dreams are made of!! 😲😲😲😲 I would have a hard time scrapping anything at all out of that lot. There would be a life time of vintage electronic repair content for me (and of course learning how to do it along the way!). It's a shame I don't have time - but I'm tempted to ebay the better stuff for you, or sell it through my shop so it gets to the right people to save such great electronics history!

Awesome vintage load! 999 Dusan would no doubt find tons of gold and silver to recover in that equipment.😄

@msylvain59 5 ай бұрын

Not sure if I'm jealous for the stuff itself or for the fact you have enough storage space to accept and retrieve such a quantity of stuff 😂 Some of this equipment is really good, start by scrapping anything obviously broken / uncomplete / worthless, and take some time to research about the best pieces.

I went to audiovisual school in the 90's. Spent a lot of practice hours on that stuff in the TV studio and the cutting room. The video mixing console would typically be the command center of a TV studio, where you switch between the different camera's on the studio floor and mix in video footage and titles from external sources. The Betacam player and recorder would normally be in a video cutting room to cut the raw footage and prepare it for airing. Betacam was the cassette format used in portable professional video camera's back then, the kind that went on location to interview politicians. That whole bunch of gear would have cost several millions back in the day. Like you say, it was probably all chucked out when the company went digital.

Imagine what all this stuff was worth new... Very cutting edge tech, built to be in service for decades, produced only in small numbers. Very interesting for sure. All the vector- and waveform analyzers with the old CRT screens might be very interesting for filmmaking, if they need some effects/displays for a nice sci-fi movie set. Just not sure if they would actually still make "practical effects" like that, or rather just use LCD screens with a digital video player or even full rendered CGI effects these days.

As you know, a quick cover removal and scan for goodies is a must, especially if there’s cards with slot connectors. Very cool items. Thanks for your work sir Enjoyed Peace Prospector Tripp

Good evening EeWaste Ben. Marc Todd SC / USA. I am having so much fun watching the analog broadcasting gear. Used to install systems corporate and high residential. That stuff was fascinating to me because I was of the non technical back ground. I had good techs working with me and i know building codesmand can read pro its, so they taught me technology and I taught them carpentry. Oscillascope. This is what everything evolved from into digital. You appear to be having a large time going over this great haul. Rock on eWaste Ben. Regards, Marc

Love the little CRTs. So many of them! In any size they're certainly a thing of the past. My god man! No faster than you were going you were puffing like a steam locomotive goin uphill. I'm almost 69 and after 45 years of the cancer sticks. Coughing up phlegm 8, 10, 12 x a day. 3 useless days in the hospital, 2 years ago with Deep Vein Thrombosis, my son brought me nicotine gum. Went from there to a combo of patches and lozenges. Still hooked on the lozenges but that's all right even if the rest of my life. My lungs though, are amazingly clear. And the lozenges are cheaper than cigarettes.

Save the vintage test gear (non TV). any tv specific gear there is useless. I worked my whole career in TV, using this gear. It was diffacult to watch the workers tote all my tv test gear from the transmitter to the dump. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gear went to the landfill that day.
