that blue pump you found is called a "hydrolift" and is used in collecting groundwater out of wells for testing. its basically an electric motor that drives a piston up and down, that connects to tubing in the well that when moved up and down forces water into the tube and up to the surface for collection. sounds fancy but basically worthless, good for scrap!

I don't know if I could do it, honestly. I've restored, repurposed, and salvaged too many things over the years to see something with potential scrapped or sold at a fraction of its worth. I mostly repair and rescue things that I can use, restore things that have historical/rare/antique significance, and keep an eye out for high quality alloys to use for smithing and machining. It's definitely a different mindset to have when dealing with business like this, as there's only so much time in a day to work on things. The dilemma being...do you end up hoarding stuff to save it, sell it to someone so they can restore it and you're out that potential money or cool thing, or just take it to the scrap yard and recycle it into something else? It's a tough call, because nobody else is going to store your junk when you run out of room lol
