The orange cylinder in the Ozone generator looked like an automotive ignition coil. Used in older petrol engines that utilized a distributor to give spark. Boosts the cars 12v up to 20,000v or more then probably using a corona discharge circuit to produce the Ozone.
That would make sense with all the high voltage warning stickers on the casing of that ozone generator. The first thing I thought of when I saw it was a standard capacitor. They charge up and store charge until it is needed.
Machine number two, a lot of those little valves and such are worth a lot more than scrap. That machine looked like a column heater organizer unit for a really old GC machine.
:) that sounds good to me. I was hopeful for lab grade boards and more copper or brass. But you are correct… expect less and you will be happy to find something :)
Well, that is unfortunate. I don't check for functional things most of the time as I am a scrap yard and recycle facility first and a tech company last. But still, it is a little sad to know a board is worth more then scrap. Thank you for letting me know :)
@@badideametals I routinely buy items from scrappers before they scrap to try to salvage parts out of them, as a retro computer repair tech, a lot of these parts are starting to get hard to find, What you had pulled out is a "PC104 Single Board Computer" , they all look the same , its a standard size, the little board you popped off is a IDE Drive, Sold listings on ebay show pretty good value, Totally understandable, I have a local scrapper that now has me look at things before he goes full ape on it.
Thank you my friend. I get enough negative comments and emails about what I do. I am trying to keep waste from going to landfill. It pays me a little bit, but not as much as people think. Being "Green" has a ton of costs all in the name of keeping our environment more liveable ... I am glad I can help... but it does not make me rich. If anything, this hobby takes time away from my kids and my wife. That puts pressure on my relationships there too ... 4 years of doing this, and I have honestly considered just doing it quietly and not on YT. But I find so many fun things that I like to share what I see with others. Thank you again @Williammiller6043

The orange cylinder is likely a coaxial flash lamp tube or mercury vapor lamp. That machine looks overly complex for what it does.

@@christopherleubner6633 as I know little of what was handed me, I appreciate the help understanding this tech.
Why disappointing? Expect nothing and never be disappointed.

The PC104 card was a pc, worth about $20+ before it was damaged. by your needle nose plyers

Not sad. You're a recycler. Never mind the bs@@badideametals
