My wife found ur channel last night while we were micro scrapping. U are a huge help ive been doing this for a few years but some things i have ignonerd and wont anymore. We scrap for everything thouhh even gold sklver platinum paladium etc we now watch ur videos while we work. Keep em comming

I use to get confused when I first watched your video's with the term "tin". I think its because its called "light iron" at many USA scrap yards. Great video as always.

Final breakdown for all three together: speaker with tin 17lbs ($1.70), sheet aluminum 1.10lbs ($0.53), extrusion 9 oz. ($0.49), #2 copper 1.5lbs ($8.44) = $9.18. PS copper donut 1lb 14 oz #1 copper =$8.44

I believe painted extrusion is worth more than clean is becaause the painted contains less zinc in it. Zinc prevents paint from bonding to aluminum correctly

Thanks for the info. Sounds reasonable to me.

Those mosfets have a tiny amount of gold in them.

U can pop the plastic off of the copper prongs takes a half second to do

Ever come across power cleaners used in audio equipment? Glorified powerstrips used to clean the signal, I have to imagine they have to have some serious copper as they are not light.

No unfortunately, but would love to get my hands on them for the copper

For magnet fishing you are looking for Neodymium not Ferrite cheaper magnets often sold for speakers. Ferrite magnets are about five times less expensive costs for speakers than an equivalent Neodymium magnet speaker and is rarely bought (maybe for a rock concert or a music system drawing larger wattage in power for sound amplifiers).

🇨🇦You should have Canadian flag in your channel name to let people know you're talking about Canadian $. Usually I can't tell difference between Americans & Canadians.

I usually just toss my speakers into my e-waste pile. Taking them apart will give you alot of waste/wood/plastic that may cost to dump

I know, weird with the tin/shred category. Thank you for the compliment and support. Amazing how much precious metals are in the different appliances and electronics we use everyday. Stay well and happy scrapping to you and your wife.

You need a angel grinder and a screw gun sir

I have an angle grinder. I thought about getting a screw gun, but I don’t mind using a regular screwdriver. Although a screw gun would be quicker?

No question mark.

You are wrong, the Items with 3 Legs on the Heatsinks contains Copper and Gold, Gold 0,3g/Kg and sometimes a little Silver. The most is Copper, don't sell it Copper Nr.2, you will loose Money.
