    New to me a load of microwave servers?

    Picked up a load PCs and telco equipment yesterday. Couldn't tell what the telco items were except that the cases were aluminum and they had circuit boards and cables. After unloading and a little research I believe these are Harris Farinon rack mount DVM (Digital VersaT1lity Microwave) radio servers. I am familiar with most ewaste but these are new to me.



    The large black board is a DC to DC converter with a 6 pound AL heat sink each server has 2. The other boards are various switch and transmitter controllers. Checked ebay and the cards are listed between $200 to $400 apiece, though none have sold recently. To specialized and outdated I guess, just another load to break down and ship.



    A more detailed view of the boards.

    Wow, those bring back memories! I'd hit a local hamfest with one before breaking it down.

    Run em through on clearance, 2 for $100, see how they do, you'd still stand to make 10-20 times scrap
