parttime scrapper in texas

**pafree** · 12-10-2013, 04:26 AM

i work weekends at a hospital as a x-ray tech and have all week off. usually i would piddle around the house or go fishing but the weather has not been very nice lately. my wife did the storage locker auction thing and bought a couple lockers that had old computers, microwaves and tvs. she couldn't get anybody to buy after a couple of garage sales and she gave up on them so this past month i have been scrapping them along with the other stuff i have hoarded over the years. the videos and information from this forum has helped me get the best results for my efforts.

If you're able to get your hands on old x-ray film, those can be sold for silver value.

funny you should say that, everything is digital now so film is kind of going away as far medical. my boss at my parttime job at a surgery center gave me the old/out of date x-rays when we moved to new location and went digital. i was going to try to strip it myself but when i found out getting nitric acid without the men in black suits with black suburbans might give me a visit kind of stopped that. i have been looking but heard there are scammer out there so i am not sure.
