    Catch of the day!

    So I just wanted to share a little of what we scrapped out today, it was a few old Nextell phones and an old medical PSA.

    Would like some input on value? I think cell phone boards are like $10/lb? Any thoughts on the value of the boards? If I recall correctly, they're worth a good bit in scrap, just can't remember the grade.

    Anyways, good day thus far, just wanted to share. Any input would be awesome.

    Now that's just sexy.

    Nice haul!

    What did those boards come from if you don't mind sharing. Digging the cell phone boards to.

    It was donated, don't recall where. It's a blood testing machine though. A very, very, very old one. The copper motors in it were pretty big too.

    They are MLCC Through hole capacitors. They are like the MLCC SMD style but through hole.

    Here's a few more weird ones I ran across today on some old, old medical equipment.

    I used a stick of RAM to show how big that capacitor is. Any idea what kind of scrap these boards go for? Just PSU boards?
