    Question Few questions regarding a Disk Array Subsystem?

    I am fairly new to scrapping e-waste an such, I usually browse the forum and conventionally find more information about different things I run into, but I am just stumped here and would love some insight from fellow scrappers whether it be their own stories/advice or what not. Anything will help.

    That being said here is a few pics of the item I am talking about, I have about 40x of them in four different trays for what I would call maybe a power supply? That sit on the bottom of this Disk Array IBM White Upright Subsystem, as well has 10-15x different 3x3 feet what I would call switches or server boards? I am just curious if anyone knows of its value or more information that will help me either get rid of or part out. Keep in mind according to the manuals that came with it and dates all around the hardware this was put into use in 1994.



    Also if anyone know anything about Vintage Stereo Analyzers, Tube Testers, and many others, any insight on such would really help me out. I picked up nearly 30x or so different vintage electronic equipment evolving around stereos, ham radios, etc.

    Thanks in advance,
    Jeremy

    Looks like an old hard drive to me. The ones like that with the big boards I do take the time to take off the boards to sell separate since they weigh out well.

    Excuse me if I am wrong, but are you referring to the pictured hard drives or the switches/server boards? As well did you happen to know anything about old ham radios and such? I am just having a hard time sorting, I have a pretty big assortment of e-waste, I am just getting confused with the sorting process etc. I know boards and such but I get confused when I see motors/eyes/and other sort of things on such plastics of CD/DVD/floppy drives etc, I don't know what to classify these and sort them accordingly. Does that make sense? Sorry if I am making an ass of myself lol.

    Thanks in advance,
    Brock

    As far as ham stuff goes, check with http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/members/miked.html or check out this site, it has a lot of ham links there. You might be able to track something down.
