I also buy circuit boards & gold recovery items in Melbourne. My price list.. www.weeecycle.... To contact me by email: weeeben@optusnet.com.au Keep scrapping & Have fun!
The fact that you, a singular human being, consistently manages to scrap out so much e-waste in the amount of time that you do it in is still impresses me to this day. I have no experience in scrapping whatsoever, but even I can tell that you are an absolute *unit*. I wish you the best in your life, Ben.
Whoa - where did you get the Bosch BCN-50 (or 51?) 1" Type B recorder? That would have been a few hundred grand in 1976 for the start of colour TV in Australia. Missing the monitor and vectorscope but it still should be in a museum. The BVW-75Ps were brilliant machines, built like tanks and about $80,000 each when new, but they almost all need new heads at about $8000 a pop and nobody records in Betacam SP anymore. There are still some analog tape libraries to digitise, but you'd use one of the last Digital Betacam recorders as they are brilliant quality and go direct to SDI. If anyone needs tape conversion I have a nearly new DVW-M2000P which will take any Betacam tape from oxide in 1982 through SP, SX, MPEG-IMX and of course Digibeta. So many old TV shows are still just sitting waiting to be transferred to digital.
We just searched to see if there was a new one and found this, can't believe I missed this. Great video Ben, love to see you take the masses of boards in, love it!! 👍
Ben, I have been watching you now for over two years always impressed with what you recycle one question how long did it take you to get the stuff in your van and one in the box truck together. Best from the USA
To prevent back injuries, you need to start wearing the weightlifting belt. I've worked in the warehouses before, it makes a huge difference, believe me.
Friend, I send you greetings from Mexico. I wanted to let you know that I work in the same field as you, and I was wondering if you could give me any advice to improve my disassembly process. I would appreciate your support with your tips and comments. Sending you greetings!
It is a bit sad to see, all that actually working stuff, flying in the bin... But I also can understand you, that it is not possible to keep and try to sell everything...
You cannot be doing this all alone, not one man can strip so Much stuff, do you also buy in boards stripped, I remember you saying before that you bought in stuff from other acrappers
hi them betacam deck in the uk they are hot getting a return on selling the deck is not good you make more moving of the video i put it a round the uk i will buy them the only thin i never got a round to drive a car there a man that buys in the betacam tape he tells them lot of me and i get offered alot of gear as parts and decks that are not working yes some decks are in a bad ways and i use them for parts i know alot of them pc mother board come from office workers
It's crazy watching this, b/c some of those boards were probably some kids dream purchase back in the day. Saving up allowance to get the new mobo and new cpu. Put it all together to play some game they've been dreaming about. And now it's just old scrap. The 2000's and a bit of the 2010's were a ridiculous time, b/c the tech changed so fast and they kept changing the cpu sockets and other things, seemed like folks had to upgrade every year to keep up. So much e-waste b/c of it.
Amazing quantity. Do you still scrape valuable bits off the boards before putting them in the bins, or are these the whole boards as you take them in? Just curious. Love the vids.
I'm typing this on a HP Sceptre traded for beer cans. Just needed a fresh load of Windows and thorough physical cleaning. As for hard drives? I was pretty bored at work and decided to spin a few to see what was on them -- and it was dirty government stuff involving American Indians. Had I had the right connects...
I didnt watch your videos for about two years and i am in serious shock! I think that i need to catch up every single minute of your scrapper life and how you ended up with that amount of stuff...
yeah from UK to Auz, i took off the chips and gold plate of 1980's circuit boards and the gold plate is thicker than i thought, the rest of the boards ill be taking to recycling centers, i should of not touched 1 of the boards as it had a lot of gold plating on it, but oh well you live a learn
Wow Ben you do alright to collect that amount of Ewaste i do scrapping here in Australia as well and i do collect a lot of Ewaste but i throw it to the scrap yard i think i need to find someone in my home town that buys Ewaste or even the closest town to me.
OK, why weren't you selling some if those? I saw 1 board with 2.5g network card. Those aren't cheap. And a couple of lga 1151 boards. Mainly msi. Those are worth way more in resale that scrap. Am I right here???
@EFCasual I am... I'm an ewaste recycler as well. I sell all those boards on ebay. I've sold about 700 in the last year. I know what I am talking about. That's why I am questioning it...
Yet another person ripping on Ben for smoking. But I've never seen im smoking in any of his videos. Is this some sort of puritan crusade? There aren't even any cigarette butts amonst his scrap.
