    Some recent craigslist finds

    Hi all! Here are a few recent blessings from the craigslist or letgo free sections. Each of the three was great in its own way and I'd recommend pursuing them if opportunity provides. For various reasons, mostly weather related, none of them could be parted out or fixed at a reasonable price. So here's some disassembly!

    EcoFlex SC750 Floor Scrubber

    If at all possible I highly recommend getting this fixed before scrapping. Even reconditioned they sell for $2000+. This one was out in the rain and Las Vegas sun for some time before I picked it up. It has a good amount of cast aluminum, around 100lbs, 75lbs+ in 4 motors (only three of the four in the picture), and 367lbs of batteries along with some super burly copper wire along with more normal copper wire in good quantity. When totally stripped there was about 150lbs of tin remaining, about 50% sturdy plastic by weight.


    Part of the haul:


    The not too impressive board





    The batteries:


    This is an older alignment machine I picked up from a Porsche dealership. It has a monitor, older HP tower, another smaller computer inside and four cast aluminum arms, each with a set of boards and wires inside. It again had been out in the elements a minute. I kept the steel table because it is super burly and burly tables on wheels are always welcome. Total cast aluminum for this was around 50lbs.



    Each of the four arms contains the following:



    The internal machine had these boards:
