    A good experiment Thub. You can very much increase your hourly rate though by only taking the yokes & degaussing cable from the tvs and the main transformer from the microwaves. Cut out all the inefficient fiddling with micro-scrapping the little things! 80% of your value can be grabbed very quickly 😁

    I guess it all depends how much microscrapping you do and the free time you have to do it. A fistful of wire here and there adds up. I’m saving copper and brass for now till prices creep back up. I take the tin/iron in sooner because it takes up space, then aluminum when it fills up the trash cans, separated into types of course. The circuit boards I skim off some parts and keep in boxes till I can take them to a yard further away that pays breakage for low grade and a buck or so per pound for higher grade boards for gold recovery.
    Thanks for sharing your ways!

    Watching you struggle with the screws on the back of the microwave made me think that adding a 4-in-1 screwdriver to your travel kit might be worth it. In the states you can get these at Harbor Freight for 2 bucks, I bet Canadian Tire has something similar. They're super handy because you have two sizes of phillips and slotted heads in one tool, but as a bonus, the switchable holders can also function as nut drivers, I find them super useful for computer cases, but i have no idea what size the microwaves are. I should add the disclaimer, when you pay 2 bucks for a screwdriver, it's not going to be a great screwdriver, the bits will probably wear fast, but it's a lot of utility in a small package. LOL then again, maybe just some common nut size sockets and a driver bar for your drill and you can do the job with power tools... In any case, love your videos! Keep up the good work.

    copper and aluminum price have dropped. Reward of scrapping not worth it anymore.
    Thub example here is optimistic as he is already inside a scrap yard, and MW and tv are in one place. Most often you have to drive around alleys and dumpsters to find MW and tv, take them home to dismantle them. Extra driving hours and petrol make the scrap case not really worth it, unless you count labor as free.

    It is painful to watch tube TVs being destroyed. They don't make tubes any more and they are the best way to play retro video games. I don't know if those couldn't be saved but it still hurts to see.

      These ones all had the power cords clipped. I know that’s an easy fix as well, but there are still plenty of much nicer CRTs than these available for the retro gaming market. I personally have a small tube tv for my retro consoles so I can appreciate the need for them, but the unit needs to stand out in terms of quality or styling for it to have any appeal. By the time the supply of those has dried up I think digital upscalers will be going strong, and then we can all have the best of both worlds! Retro gaming feels on a high def flatscreen.

      I keep any with a SCART connector - these seem to be the ones gamers want. Also apparently 19" crts are the perfect size for arcade machines, so I keep them as well :)

    Not much worth of scrapping with that money :P Prolly getting more money from this video :D

    Srapping flat screen TV, microwave, monitors, tablets, power adapters, phones and even computers are not worth your time unless you do gold recovery. But a tv has 2$ worth of gold, a computer 3-6$, phone1$ and it's certainly not worth the time it takes to strip a TV for it. Wire is where 90% of your income will be from. So if you don't have anywhere to get wire don't even bother scrapping! McDonald's pays more!

      That’s a decent idea! Could cover printers in one.. they don’t have much in them though.

      I know, and it would make much more sense to do it at home with a bench and proper tools. I just wanted to try things a little differently, and see how quickly I could do it “in the field”
