    todays pick up

    Got a nice pick up today. 3 TVs, a large portable AC unit, a large lamp, an old computer (one with a slot for large tapes, im assuming to back up data. My dad had these back in the day and I still remember the cassettes. Alot thicker than music cassettes), A Vtec childrens video game and and an old JVC camcorder. Plus some other misc crap... I mean...scrap



    No pics right now sorry guys!!
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    That old computer might have some value. Don't see many with tape drives anymore. Sounds interesting!

    My dad had a few. Wonder if he still has them, or the tapes!

    Jord, where are my pictures!

    Edit: The camcorder...I busted one open a couple weeks back. If I recall there was a very tiny gold eprom on the board, check yours carefully, before selling it, to toss in your OMG ITS GOLD™ bucket. I think that was the best thing in it. lol. Was still fun to break down though. Lots of tiny hidden screws to!


    Again good score buddy. Keep it up!
