Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

Those LTO are tapes for backups, there is some companies that will buy them. There are several companies still using them, but not many manufacturers making them anymore.

For those ResMed CPAP machines, the reservoir they are missing is a consumable item (you replace them every few months). So the machine has value without them.

The big heavy part at the beginning is a Detroit Diesel 2 stroke cylinder head. Very heavy and worth putting on ebay if it's in good shape.

That cylinder head was off of a Cummings Diesel. I had to laugh when you dropped the counterweight into the truck and it landed on your broom handle. Without seeing it at first I knew your handle was history. I gave up its life for a good cause.

@randywissler9923 Месяц назад

@@bethdavis1812not necessarily true. In all my years of scrapping, there's Bern plenty of times I've come across new stuff thrown out. For some companies it's cheaper to just throw stuff out than return or let sit on a shelf or in a warehouse.

@afre3398 Месяц назад

It could be. But it could also be a return. Most often those are scrapped due to damage to the chrome layer in the rod. If the chrome layer for some reason start to flake of. I.e some contamination gets into the cylinder or a bad rechrome of the rod. It will cause unreparable harm to the cylinder walls. And the whole part is toast
