    Your worst out come will be to scrap these towers. Depending on what you paid for them you will still make a profit. In the end you will have learned a lot and hopefully had some fun self educating.



    Do the research I suggested in your other thread. Check the towers and see if they sell whole on ebay, check "sold" box. Learn about shipping costs etc.

    Make or purchase a copy of the operation system Ubuntu(its free online google it) and put it on a thumb drive. Don't know how search youtube videos for Ubuntu.

    Test out your towers and see if they work, using the Ubuntu operating system on a thumb drive eliminates the need for a hard drive with windows on it.

    If the towers don't have enough value then perhaps individual parts can be sold for a profit.

    Keep reading the old and new threads for the best education you can imagine for free.

    All this can be done with out assistance from anyone else. I may be stronger than you but maybe not. I started scraping as a way to rehab myself while on dialysis and later after a kidney transplant. My maximum weight I am supposed to lift is 20 pounds. 73, Mike

    Well, I have nothing but time! Might as well find a profitable hobby! Thank you for all your help.
    Did the transplant take? My little brother has an auto immune disease that is attacking his body, primarily it's focusing on his kidneys now. He is on his 2nd round of dialysis. It kills me in not near him to help.

    I have/had IgA an immune disease that attacked my kidneys. Possible side effect 20 years in the Marine Corps, it seems Marines have more incidents of this disease. If he can stay in relative good health then he may be able to qualify to be put on the transplant list. All roads are tough even after a transplant. 73 to him and you, Mike
