Today's load

[Anonymous]

We were contacted by a company to remove their accumulated escrap and various other material.They are probably the largest electronics warehouse within 100 miles,The building looks like an airplane hanger for a 747 jumbo jet.They are moving and not taking this material with them.This is the first load,they said the next load will be ready in about a week,and I will continue to post pics as we pick up the loads.This is 10 gaylords worth,and our entire suburban is filled to the top with computer stuff as well.I want to explain the pic of the boards with the 486 on top.That was a large box that was just "dropped off" while we were there talking and the owner said "Hell,take that with you too".There were 32 boards that had 486's on them.Also in one of the gaylords is about 20 boards covered in gold lidded LCI cpu's.
Enjoy.

SCORE!!! 8) That's a good load, Mic!

I had one of my wife's nephew call me a couple of weeks ago & ask me if I was interested in 50 pc's... :mrgreen: Oh yeah!!!
He works for an outfit that repairs pc's. I fitted 40 pc's & several monitors & printers in my Tahoe. Should pick up the rest when I clear my "wreck room". :lol:

Been gutting them for the past few days.
It feels good when the scrap finds you!

Take care!

Phil

We just went through 1 cage full of boards,and so far it yielded about 200 gold topped and/or bottom cpu's,and probably 300-400 lbs of boards.
It's getting dark and I have a concert tonight so I have to stop and get ready.
I'll be back around 2am.

Dtectr, they sure do! :roll:

But I felt that the owner of the outfit was checking me out if I just only wanted the gravy; so I picked everthing he offered.
He invited me back for more! :mrgreen:
He was cleaning the storage room & was happy I hauled all he offered me.

...This is 10 gaylords worth,and our entire suburban is filled to the top with computer stuff as well.I....Also in one of the gaylords is about 20 boards covered in gold lidded LCI cpu's....

Hope this isn't too stupid a question - but how big is a "gaylord"? I gather that is is a pallet-sized box, based on an internet search, but haven't spotted any specific reference to the volume. Is a gaylord similar to the box Government Liquidation calls a "Tri-wall"?

a gaylord is the size of a skid 32 to 42 inches tall
(32 X 48 X 32) estmate

Exellent score. My mind calculations chip burned out and my mouth went into drool mode.

I turns out that the boards with the 486's on them are on sale on ebay.3 sellers have them listed for $1000,$1000,and $1500. I have 32 of them :shock: If anyone wants to buy them,you know who has them.
Today I am getting into the larger test equipment.

Great load mic !

Thanks Sam.
Well we spent the day moving stuff off of the trailor,and stripping boxes.The amounts of test equipment are incredible.I will try and take some pics tomorrow,and get them up.So far we've pulled out around 40 signal/sweep generator style boxes out.
And we stripped 2 pallets of computers,some ancient 8080 stuff,all the way up to XP pro stuff.Got a lot of nice slot 775 3g's and better.But I get about 100 of those,and about 50 pounds of memory a week,so thats not a big deal.

Awesome score!

We picked up our second load,and it's better than the first.There's a lot of very vintage test equipment,and a lot of super-high grade boards.Definitely too much stuff to post here,but I'll post a few of the good pics.
