Infrared sensors

Insulted, I leave for a year and were all concerned about the size of our "junk" piles now lol lol

The older members and people who contribute have earned respect but like humans we all make mistakes and get tired of the same old thing. Research then share.



Im offended no one has talked about jesus yet in this post !

LEts really say why we dont talk about recovery, its insainity. and if your good at it you usually spent years and tons of money getting there and your not giving any secrets out for free or to anyone. By secrets I mean what works not what some website says.

But the goldfourm I think sets the standard for refining info and results on the internet. LIke scrapforums to scrap.

AaRON with Stillwater.

Dredging up more old threads.

I now have four, older hand-held infrared sensors. I had thought to start breaking them down, only to find that they are all held together by dozens of really, really small hex bolts, in my case quite rusted. Before I spend a lot of time with a precision bit and WD-40, is there really anything in them worth recovering? I was able to get the scanner/lens/shiny thing off the front of one and see what looked like loaded (but low-grade) board inside. I figure most of their weight is from the housing but are there valuable components, too? Can they be sold as replacement parts or has the technology changed too much?

Respecting this thread's history, I am not going to refine anything I find.
