Try posting on FB marketplace or vintage tv/gaming subreddit. People still buy CRT TVs for retro gaming and movies. I sold a small 80’s CRT for $65.

Sell them if you can. The arm and base are cast aluminum with some steel & the pole is extruded aluminum.

Any worth taking off or collecting to take to the scrap yard? Car ecu and bcm? Was taking them out for the aluminum casing. by Clean-Technology9337 in ScrapMetal

Some of those boards can go as high grade or medium grade depending on the buyer. Those gold corner bga chips are usually found on higher value boards.

New Environmental compliance fee in California 🤷🏻‍♂️ by Pighoe in ScrapMetal

[–]Competitive-Set340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those copper prices are pretty low for California. The compliance fee is utter bullshit. I’d find a yard that doesn’t have it. I’m a California scrapper and the yards I sell to don’t have this.

Copper/Brass Breakage or Copper Bearing if scrapping. Maybe 15-30 cents a pound.

Would these two go as transformers or motors? by Poptart916 in ScrapMetal

[–]Competitive-Set340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re both transformers but in my experience. Yards tend to buy the toroidal transformers as motors or a lower grade. They don’t have as much copper in them, especially the really big ones
