Man, it amazes me on how much scrap wire these companies throw away. About 16yrs ago i started working for a manufacturing company and i constantly seen the maintenance crews throwing air hose fittings and wire in the garbage, i started picking it out once i got comfortable working the new job, save it up for 8 or 10 months at a time makes for a nice little bonus from time to time.
@@volkhen0 oh trust me when I tell you I've learned the hard way- two motorcycle wrecks and a lifetime of hard labor jobs like roofing contract work and welding heavy metals for a few decade's now at 55 I've got 8 herniated disc in my back and nerve damage! Have to get a rod implanted in my lower back this yr and a hip replacement and knee replacement on top of that! Getting old sucks!
@@genehasenbuhler2594 I had a surgery on L4/5 to remove some leaked disk core. It happened while lifting something. It was two months ago. Still haven’t fully recovered but I can live normally without pain. Before that I also thought I’m strong and can take on everything.
@@genehasenbuhler2594 I live in Poland where we have free health care (everyone employed pays the insurance so technically it’s not free but employed mother or father or wife husband can enlist you on their insurance), free education etc. it’s similar all over Europe. I didn’t pay anything.
You need to get a lock picking set they are inexpensive and with a little practice it's pretty easy. That way you could keep or sell the items you find that are lockable. Love your video's keep em coming. Your big time fan.
I agree, I saw what looked like a Thermocouple on that first one. We recover our Thermocouple wire during rebuilds, and once we get a little bit we send it to be recycled. Last time a letter size envelope held $40,000 worth of Platinum and Palladium.
Chlorine is worth money now a days!! My sister was getting her pool filled and the Delivery guy said can't find chlorine any were to by! Every one is out of it!! $$$
Anyways, if you find lab machines in the dumpster like this time, always try to be as gentle with them as possible and NEVER tear them down before you try to sell them or at least find out what they are. Such lab machines are ridiculously expensive and even if broken, they might still have a significant value. Manufacturers of those often intentionally make them from custom non-standard parts, which you have to buy from them and of coure they are overpriced, so many people are looking for such broken machines for spare parts. And if they can be fixed, they have even more value.
best thing i did on my truck was to fit a small crane makes getting the heavier stuff out so much simpler and easier they aren’t all that expensive either i started with a small harbour freight type and then found a 1ton hydraulic on ebay real cheap
WTG Mike keep up all the good work scrapping. It is s hard living but the rewards are sweeter. Next I am getting a melting pot to melt all of the soft metals like copper and brass and aluminum into bars. There is another scrapper out of Australia that melts them into metal bars. Peace
The golden colored metal at the end looks like phosphorus bronze. Used widely in stamping die operations. Obviously I can't say that for sure. Good luck man!
Regular person: "i need help getting this into the dumpster." 3 people volunteer to help. Mike the (Savage) Scavenger: look here y'all! Scrappity scrap scrap. (Proceeds to go savage on the heavy stuff)
Those light brown rubber wheels you found look like eraser wheels. We use them in body repair to remove decals, double side tape and stripes. It would go on a pneumatic tool. They aren't all that cheap.
