I'm right there with you with the hating flat head screws that have been obsolete since the intervention of Philip heads Yet they still exist I think solely to poke holes in your palm or other sensitive parts that were never meant to have holes in them
I grew up with phones like that. I love the sound it makes while dialing so much that I bought a black one at a flea market last year for 20 bucks. As a kid on the farm, the same farm I live on now there were 6 families on a party line. If we wanted to we could listen to their conversations but we never did out of respect for their privacy. Those were the good old days in the 1960's unlike the myriad of crap today. And no, I would never scrap one out.
Those white things you removed, if they are cermic they very dangerous remove carful and bin. To know if its a relay itll be really brittle itll just break everywhere
If u were u, I would have sold it as is. Even if it isn't working. There are heaps of people who would like to have one of those just for nostalgic reasons cos of the history. As another user said, they bought one for 20 bucks purely cos they had the memory of loving the tactile dial sound when they were a kid. There's heaps of people who would buy it for a cheap price. The gold in this is probably only gonna be worth a dollar or 2 after you put it through the extraction/refining process. Put it up on your local classifieds or ebay for 5 bucks and you'd sell it easy without effort.
Awe the good ole rotary phone i grew up with them andcwhat i had when i first got married and got my first home. Who knew the things we owned back then had such treasures hid within. Thanks Moose for teaching me something new.
I have an old rotary phone in my house just because I prefer the sound of a real bell to the chirping sound of a new phone. I never use it to talk. It's plugged in and sitting on a shelf. There's no cell service here so I have to keep a land line.
Moose, in need of help! How can I trap very fine foils floating in my aqua, I think I stirred it too much and now I have micro glitter I am very new to this my method is muratic, perox, bleach and metabisulfite. or is what I have in my aqua a loss I'd hate to believe that's what it is please help. Thank you! Martin Contreras, Tucson, AZ
I picked one of these out of the trash last year. A sickly olive green but still in really good shape. I sold it for $110 to a hipster. These things are FAR more valuable than their parts. Remember the vid you did on how to get a gram of gold out of 4-6 RAM sticks? Same idea. Just look for hipsters and you will ALWAYS be able to unload these things, working or not. Just tell them it's "vintage". :)
Are you talking about the gold? I save it up until I have enough to process. I dont sell my precious meals. Everything else I save up until I have a truck load then go to the scarp yard with it. Although that may be changing with the copper brass and aluminum.
Well that was fiddly! Great to see all the little bits and bobs in there though. Looking forward to your Friday Night Live broadcast, I believe it starts midnight here in UK so I'll be able to stay up as I don't work on Saturdays. Yay! Take care, Poo
Everybody says they are worth good money but I see them pretty regularly for 5 bucks or less at thrift stores, estate sales etc. I guess it depends on where you live. I'm about to take apart the ones I have. Bought them years ago for a few bucks each and thought I was getting a good deal. Live and learn I guess. lol. Sick of storing these "valuable" phones. Thanks for the video.
ABSOLUTELY NO GOLD OR SILVER INSIDE, just brass and tin, aluminum, and steel, and plastic.i even tested the metals. besides, there was no reason to use gold or silver in it, anyway. i scrapped a couple of them already, and saved the brass for projects, wire for projects, too.
Actually the contacts are palladium if they rectangle or square with a thin layer of nickel on the back that make them "seem" magnetic. Some have gold contacts. Some have silver caps on the speakers and solid silver contacts in the handset. On the ones that have gold plating inside the speakers it is very thick. Some have no gold though. I've scrapped probably 100 of them
Used to take them apart for the magnets as a kid. Now I wish I had some in case the kids or SJW's act up-shut off the internet and cell service and let them figure out how to text with one of those. ;)
@@moosescrapper5928 Yes sir, when we get tired of it we can disable Satts and Computers witm EMP, disable all manual transmission vehicles and shut down any food production that only needs a microwave to cook. Emperor's of the world in a week. I can live in the 1850's or even earlier. :D
ugh.... so because you didn't find any, there isn't any huh... Well, I know the pyramids exist even though I have never seen them in person. Just because you don't see it, does not mean its not there. I found it, and I found it because a group lead by Geo also found it and taught me. Sorry if you don't agree, have a wonderful day.
@@moosescrapper5928 moose, what else did you find in yours? thats all i found. im putting the bells into my homemade pinball game, saving the scrap wire, and scrap aluminum.
Here to back up, Moose. Most definitely is gold plated transmitter parts. The small diaphram in the middle tested positive for heavy gold plating, as evidenced by large sheets of intact gold foil, in direct response to nitric acid digestion of the copper base metal. As with all things electronic, contents and material used will vary. Hope you keep looking & find that little treasure soon.

@@soonersciencenerd383 ok, just can't hold back. Are you sure what you're calling aluminum (aluminium) isn't in fact zinc? If you're scrapping then it really doesn't matter, but, if you're melting then it matters a lot.

oh dang! I feel a sudden urge to clean out my moms attic 👍😂
The outside ring pops off really easy with a small flat head screwdriver

1982 a newer one at that in the context of phones with tethers 😂
Oh the days of the rotary phone! I used them a very long time ago. Thanks Moose for showing what is inside of them. Great video!
Yup, I remember them as a kid, being limited to the length of the cord lol, and twirling it while you talked...

lol, yeah the black ones are worth more! Great memories!
@@moosescrapper5928 Actually the colored ones are worth the most, like red, blue, yellow etc.
Yup, just like I mentioned in the beginning of the video.
If you get any colors other than the normal ones I would be interested in the body and handset.
I recently received a green one.

Thanks Moose.
MOOOOOOOOOOSE!!! Good to see ya. Laying here with stitches in my back, bored out of my mind and you roll along. Hope all is well dude.
HEEEEYYYY!!! Hope the surgery went well! I'll be live streaming friday night if you are still bored. It'll be 2 hours of me blabbing away.
Look up Sugarloaf, Don't call us, we'll call you. Black and white rotary phone construction video. And thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Old telephone to scrap awesome boss moose
I have an old rotary phone in my house just because I prefer the sound of a real bell to the chirping sound of a new phone. I never use it to talk. It's plugged in and sitting on a shelf. There's no cell service here so I have to keep a land line.
I hear ya, I have the classic bell tone set on my cell phone. Not quite the same, but close
Wow, I had no idea my old phone had valuable metal inside, thanks for sharing Moose

Okay, and another comment...that small pair of nippers with the angled snips...that is super handy looking! Where'd you get those?
Hello if it is true call on this number +250728890481 becouse i have many
1982? Don't seem right because by then you had the ones with the replaceable cables.
Good video. Thanks a lot.
Never knew that a rotary phone had gold 👍👍
none inside. sorry.
none inside what?
Verified truth, see my comment to Sooner Science Nerd
Something is different about this video ? no NOT the amateur part.
Oh yes, now I know what it is.
WHERE'S MY MEDS...

Thanks for the breakdown, helpful w the current clean out im working on.👍
nice one ;) i have an black tabel phone whit the bell haning on the wall, ;) its prob from 1964 or so ;)
Curious to know what you do with it? Do you save up until there is enough in weight to cash in? Where do you sell it?
Are you talking about the gold? I save it up until I have enough to process. I dont sell my precious meals. Everything else I save up until I have a truck load then go to the scarp yard with it. Although that may be changing with the copper brass and aluminum.
That phone would sell on ebay for at least 50 dollars
Fun scrap Moose - always fun to get these.
I'm new to your channel from Gil Skillz live stream 💕 💕 love it and let's stay in touch
Kind of sad that a cool old phone is being destroyed, but at least it's being recycled.
Keep the shell to sell on eBay for parts only
will do!

Thank you Moose! I appreciate your video!
Thanks for watching!
been like 6 month trying to sell mine on ebay ...thanks for the vid bud
eBay can be funny that way... Feast or famine sometimes.
Price and demand depend on the model and year. You're probably asking too much for it.
@@zee3499 lol it sold
In case of modern phone, is still content the gold inside if compared with classic one?
Well that was fiddly! Great to see all the little bits and bobs in there though. Looking forward to your Friday Night Live broadcast, I believe it starts midnight here in UK so I'll be able to stay up as I don't work on Saturdays. Yay! Take care, Poo
Sweet!! See you then!
Okay, but how do you determine the silver from the palladium?
hey moose what is happening with RECYCLE DUDE his youtube channels is no longer in there
Went to scrapper Dave and his is gone too.. everything!!
My parents had one for years till finally the phone company made them change to a push button. :)
lol, they worked just fine, why switch!?!?!? lol
I'm somebody now! Lol
lol, you have ALWAYS been somebody!
It hurts to watch this. Those things are worth much more money as is, than the minuscule amount of precious metals inside them.
Peel back the plastic rim...and that’s how baby’s are made

Its one of those things where everyone has their own opinion on it I suppose...
Your videos are old. Anything new?
i have a soviet Made Rotary phone and another one Made in italy, and i Will never do that
Wast of W N Time
How much did you get for the scrap? You probably could have thrown it on ebay for $10 and not had to destroy it.
First

lmao... I like the video where this guy gave his two teenage boys a rotary phone and recorded them trying to figure out how it works. Hilarious!
