    weekend load... please examine it for me?

    over the weekend...

    -some light framing steel i picked up from the small construction job i work at, along with a box full of comm wire and a few other non-ferrous bits
    after work, i stopped down the stre'et at the last renovation where the IT guy hooked it up with a few boxes of ewaste he cleaned out during the move... says he'll have more later!
    -then i found a mixed trash dumpster out front a residence with all sorts of lab equipment, golf clubs and a few other goodies... there was a tool box at the very bottom i just couldnt get to, cant imagine what woulda been in there


    alot of the lab equipment is mostly made up of non-magnetic bits, mostly aluminum? high chance of other worthwhile materials being in these things?
    anyone think they can help me identify these items,
    grinder disk thing, looks pretty rusty


    any idea what this motor is for?


    some sort of vacuum


    what is this?

    think theres good resale value on these? they were just tossed in the dumpster... and then tossed in the back of my truck :X



    also are these good golf clubs?


    is this caddy complete or missing anything? all aluminum









    also included two light weight mountain bike tires n tubes ill sell on CL for 15 to 50
    my moms computer screen went bad yesterday but its okay, the escrap had a vga cord to hook up to the tv!



    oh yeah, almost forgot, that very last bit of scrap i found was 6 shotgunned aluminum cans someone charged through next to my parkingspot

    Google is your friend. Grab a pen and pad, go back out to your stash and write down names, model, numbers, anything you can find and put 'em in Google.


    Ney super vac pump - Estrada Dental Supply Co.

    The "Ney 660 Modular" seems to be a furnace for dental work.

    I could be wrong but I doubt bits would be aluminum. Seems they would be too soft and strip. A lot of tools in the medical field is going to be stainless.

    As for that tool box you couldn't reach. I am betting it had a handle? So find a piece of metal, and form a hook on the end to grab stuff.

    I would definitely look into ebay for all of that specialty equipment. Even if it's older stuff, there could be a use for it. Most of that stuff could be repurposed outside of the dental field, if it is indeed all dental equipment. That grinder would be cool to have. I've never seen one like that before where the whole wheel is surrounded except for a small portion.

    Denturist comes to mind, sold most of everything that I had but kept the twin cylinder oil-less air compressor.

    That canister with the lid that partners up with the vacuum pump is to remove air bubbles from plaster or casting resin used by both jewelers or dentist, did you find a centrifuge.

    if there was a centrifuge the guy was into casting dental fixtures ( partial plates ) that had precious metals in them, if it were me i would go back to the house and introduce myself to see if there's any more goodies being tossed in the near future.

    Opps I stand corrected the Ney is an oven, from what i was able to find out it's very old and not considered a good oven even when it was new.

    Here's one currently listed in flebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEY-660-MODU...-/380365821607


    One sold on flebay $620.00 with vacuum pump 33 bids

    Tan motor on pedestal is defiantly a vacuum pump
