Scrapping Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer & stuff 

I wasn't the guy who initially commented about the crystal oscillators. I did make a comment on his that I'd like to see the real small ones done, as I've not been doing this as long as most. I've watch all your vids so I "was" aware of the screw driver technique, I even grind it down but about 4 months ago the tip broke and I didn't fix it or remember your previous advise. So on the real small ones I've been crushing them too recently. Time to get the grinder out! AS USUAL YOU DIDN'T DISAPPOINT, GREAT VIDEO!!!!

Man, sometimes it takes me 3 hours to watch a 1 hour scrap out video, which is not a bad thing because I learn so much. I can't help but pause when Ben shows the model or part numbers of anything he scraps, open new tab - quick google search (hmm, that's interesting, I wonder how much it costs???) ebay search (wow, that's cool) rewind, recap. Next item same thing.

this guy has to be one of the few scrappers in his area/country, the amount of increadible chips he gets is amaiz, so much so he could afford to be picky about what he takes off the board n dumps to ewaste the rest. he could literally stack golden 24k bricks to the ceiling in his home. thanks for the vid e-ben, im always watching while doing the same here in los angels.

It would be cool to see a vlog about how you started out scrapping the history of ewaste ben even what vehicles tools etc you started with would be very interesting

wow ,, that projector is amazing , ok people say its not worth much , but its not about the money , its about the history , people just don't make stuff like that any more and should be kept,, thats way i feel any ways , and i'm no expert!

Wow, what a dope, scrapping pullable logic IC's for gold when their value to electronics hobbyists is ten times that. Reminds me of an eBay seller who tried to recycle the useless control cards from a system, but threw the £100 backplane and the £300 rack in the bin.

I'm glad the projector made its way to your care. It deserves so much more then the land fill.

Another good one, PC-Scrapper numner1!

I just started watching this video and about had a heart attack when I saw the projector on your bench. LOL! Love the videos.

Thanks for sharing this scrapping video Ben. I really appreciate your videos.

What the hell I didn't even get a alert for a new video.. almost had to watch some other scrapper videos :) ok I do watch some but yours are definitely the best!! Keep it up and I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more

Yay! another video from Ben Love ya!

Hey, i just come across this video of yours. I used this AAS many many years ago. Can't believe that they are still around. The mirror was used to receive light through a flame. That gave a reading on the element you were recording. In my case, gold. You did a good here. I am still stunned they are still around

Wow...Ben....very interesting video. You are quite the instructor! Looking forward to your next video.

looking forward to your next vid :)

Lately I find the comments section of Bens videos slightly more entertaining.. His critics "eBay powersellers" and "vintage component collectors" are quick to demonstrate their "knowledge".. yet fail to understand the definition of Ewaste/scrapping and what's of value to Ben is to provide value to his followers. But what most people probably don't know is that Ben has "intelligence".. his videos are high quality, consistent and engaging.. he has "youtube/Google love".. so while the shortsighted critics are busy posting futile comments, Ben is busy building an empire which already pays dividends.. awesome direction, keep up the smart work dude.

BEN GOES ATOMIC!!! Awesome, I've been waiting for this one!!! I get pretty excited about a new video, sometimes I'll put a comment before I watch it. Then another after, to give my opinion of the video.

This is nice I watched the entire video for a long time

Very interesting.tyfs

looks pretty nice with no cover decoration piece

you should donate the projector to a museum or something like that. best wishes from Spain

Is there anyone out there that would love to see Ben's collection it must be amazing to see what cool thing he must have

Today i scrapped about 10 crt tv's in one spot i was shocked when i saw gold fingered board in one of them. Wish me luck in finding Projection TV and Creamic Cpu PC... i need E-waste Ben blesssing :D

I know im a little late on this but I was looking for this one.

Another video yayyy

the atomic absorption machine is usually attached to a computer that runs a program to actually analyze the data. the part you have just draws up the chemicals and then vaporizes them. The computer is what actually does the hard work of analyzing hahaha (have worked with those machines before)

Finally another video

Interesting projector - have you considered contacting GE and asking about it? Since it doesn't have logos, it might be a prototype. They might be interested in buying it back for a museum. You do some very interesting scrapping projects.

I'd love to meet you Ben. Very good at what you do.

Hi ben great vid ps are you getting closer to doing the copper bars?

Cool mate nice stuf ;)

Very good l liked the chips in the46:43 minute

It's almost like "Scrapping an Atomic bomb". By the way the "UFO"-looking resistors you left on the board could have gold content inside them.

cool episode Ben like from me

that little safecube motherboard looks like a raspberry pi sort of thing. I wonder if you could hook up all the necessary components of a computer to just the motherboard, and then see what it does.

Those hard drive stop working after running 24/7 i had a 4 camera set up in my laundromat after a year the hard drive was stuffed

IMO, nothing wrong with putting up 10 min worth of footage. Even include some vlog type of footage about why it's cut short.

Yo Benny Talaria was the brand name of a large-venue video projector from General Electric introduced in 1983. There is a non working one on eBay selling for parts @$245 plus $1000 shipping cost from the U.S. I'm not sure why the shipping cost that much but yeah that machine for sure worth $$$money$$$. Check it out on eBay. Find away to turn it on and see if it works, might be in the thousands of it does. Please keep us updated with the progress. I'm dying to know what you can get for it. Cheers keep up the good work.

Cool,,,, !,,,,, 🇺🇸

Hey Ben. Glad you didn't destroy the old projector. How about making a cage trap for all the Indian Mynah birds in your yard?

I have a screenshot of your exact item. Exactly as yours looks.

I don't understand where your storing all this ic chips and other stuff for gold recovery.you must have 1000s of tons of the stuff by now.great video as always.👍♻

Early prototypes typically don’t have all the country specific warnings. AU has a notoriously difficult regulatory system. Companies spend years getting past them. Bravo on not firing up vintage gear. I buy lots of it cheap because people flip that switch. The remote is called “a dongle box.” GE and others perfected these with big iron industrial cranes. CA 1950.

Hey Ben, I thought crystal osletaters had silver, obviously they can have both gold and or silver, is that right? Thanks for sharing

At 25:54 they have the very porous tantalum pentoxide. It's porous for higher capacitance. And at 27:45 that big 40 pin chip is an Intersil IC7117 display driver and appears to be about 81 to 83 vintage which gives the build date of the AAS.

Damn, I hate when the old work horse breaks down. But... That Mercedes alternator would have some good copper in it. (Every cloud has a copper lining)

if u hav any old electronics u dont want to scrap try getting in touch with the youtube channel MrCalsonsLab he makes vids on all old electronics n repairs them it might b a good alternative to make more money than scrapping certain items he also has a knack for digging up all available info on the product too or try one of the restoration channels too or u could always try EEVBlog

Hi Ben how much would you sell the projector for?

Weird little t.v. but it was a cool scrap. Thank you

33:08 Peekaboo 🙈. I See you!

Awesome video Ben. Have you ever seen a full gold top crystal osillator?

YEET

You gonna scrap that alternator I hope? Have a great day.

I couldnt send the pdfs, i found some stuff on a site about the history of tv and radio

Are you funding icore 5 and icore 7 with good chips?

Take it to your local museum and see if they would like it

👍

33:00 careful mate. We almost got a good look at you.

Alternator's aren't cheap. $600 for new one,im guessing.They have a vacuum pump built in on the back.

Can you try do some precious metal recovery vids. And also what happened whit the mill. I remember when you posted the video you said it was a fail but did you just give up on milling the chips for gold recovery? Love yore vids!

I found an ad for that model projector from 1976 (so probably even older) informationdisplay.org/Portals/InformationDisplay/IssuePDF/V12N02-1976.pdf the ad is at the bottom

Does titanium scrap have any value? That burner head (this thing here 13:58) is some kind of titanium alloy. There is acetylene flame and there can be really acidic environment so it is not aluminium.

Ahoy

The 10 minutes of footage would be GREAT to post with other unseen or even bloopers??? Especially when you're forced to stay in because of the heat. Hope you are OK!!!!!!!!!!

HIIIIiiiiiiiii

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talaria_projector About your projector

haha first

So check your facebook

The optics in that AA were worth a fortune. The gauge you destroyed at the start sells for about $50 US. Please do more research. You’re destroying history.

Get a heat gun and toaster oven. At 375-425 F you can scrape all the parts off a board. If you study a little, work eBay, etc., you’re going to make 100X what you get from “gold recovery.” I guess I get bent at your videos because I see you destroying parts I have been searching for daily - for decades. You’re destroying things of significance, loosing money and, worst of all, teaching others to do the same. Sit back. Do some research. Be part of the community of restoration experts. Gods forbid you invest in a quality tube tester. I know several guys making six figures US just by learning something.

I'm done watching your channel now all I get is abuse for your viewers disgusting
