      @4kays160 7 лет назад

      Yeah i do the exact same thing.. im starting to keep all ceramic cpu's in there boards now as there worth more just to look at not working on ebay so working in a board they fetch quite a high price in a few more yrs when there totaly unobtainable which will be soon i think... ps i just found an imac g5 (it looks like a white flatscreen but is a full working imac g5) i booted it and it runs great.. i know there getting old now, anyone here know what its internals are? I usually gut all my pc's unless there good but i dont know imacs at all really? Should i scrapp it or save it?

    TempTale is a temperature data logging unit. They start them and put them in shipments of materials where spikes in temperature during transit could impact the product. Once the shipment is received they stop the logger and download the temperature data. Once the calibration period is expired, the units 'brick' themselves. The disposable cost of doing business.

    Hello Ben love your videos I was wondering if you could put a list of your profits from your scrap yard visits as well as when you have the board buyers just so we all have a good idea of what you get out of all that hard work.Prices really change here in Canada we have lost most costs last year when China stopped importing our waste.So I just would love to know what you are getting for everything like where i live right now steel/shred is only $45 a ton! so I am not taking large appliances for free anymore because I have to drive an our each way to the scrap yard due to price drops the one that was 10 min from me went under.Always love your videos I wish we still had "Hard Rubbish" pickups here we used to but not since the early 2000's Take care From Beautiful Vernon British Colombia Canada :)

  • @zimmermansworkshop9394
    @zimmermansworkshop9394 6 лет назад +1

    That board you got that has the NCR chips on it, I work for NCR. That is old school stuff, in that day we had something called P2P machines. They were basically big processors and hard drives. See if it has a part number on it. It would be simular to this: 008-12345678. Then you can google it. I can try to look it up in our parts system but it may be too old.

      they are called inductors, they are made of ferrite which goes as scrap steel.
