    Retired Jarhead

    Retired jarhead that currently buys storage auction units. These units provide a lot of scrap so scrapping is a necessity to squeeze all of the profit out of a unit. Currently stripping a couple of units full of vintage, 1970's and 1980's X-Ray-MRI Components. E-scrap is my weak point, so I am stockpiling all of the boards and components until I get more clarification/knowledge on their value.
