Cool tip with sticking the screwdriver in to get that plastic piece out. You can leave the mosfet on or remove it, choice is yours. I’d say high P board.
I picked up a Nokia one like that. It was likely a car phone as well. It had a nice case, cord, antenna and power supply. I kept the case. I also crave the stimulation of too many things around which doesn't help me focus either.
I had some Nokias before, as well. I have never scrapped one though. We used them regularly, up until probably 2005 or so. I see a bit of a pattern with this line of work and lack of focus. I don't know the attraction is. Maybe the fact that every day is an adventure?
It's all good. I feel your pain. I'll start something walk off and see something else that needs done. Start that then walk off and repeat. Before I know it I got 20 projects going and not one is complete. 😅 Idk what those chips were. Since I'm inside cooling off I'll search around and see if i can come up with an answer.
@@scrappingonthefly77 Yep. I used to go home in the summer and buy every bag phone I could from eBay and thrift stores and bring them back out to sell for $400 each to all the guys working in the bush. Everybody in civilization had digital phones and we were all analog out here.
That's a good scrap session but in a small town you have to micro scrap and it's not a high paying job brother and what you have is squirrel syndrome and it's a common thing with scrappers that get over whelmed hang in there brother six stars
Yeah, we still use them a lot up here, but we have newer, better units now. I think this one was from before we even had 3G here. Where I lived back east, they have several different providers with a massive network of towers. Up here, we just have Telus.
@@ScrapperSam Back when I was long haul trucking, I used CBs all the time but here we use VHF. I get free CBs all the time, but don't have anyone to talk to on them. I have an antenna on the building that has coax running to it, but I don't know what it was from. I was thinking of setting up a base station there.

At least you showed up

Thanks! I will leave it on then! I already have too much time in this $3 worth of scrap.
@@HHRecycling no problem bud!
I need one of those konex containers to put my barrels in when full.. You have a nice setup. Like how you put the ladders outside of it !
@scrappingonthefly77 yeah, they're really handy and solid.
@HHRecycling and you don't have to worry about putting a floor in them lol. Neither of my shops have a floor.

Omg Chris .😂 still no tripod stand? I can't wait for ewaste Mike lovely comments 😂. Nice Job Scrapper 😂
Not yet! Need money for that kind of frivolous purchase.
That's some good stuff. Cool to see what makes them tick
For sure. Not really worth the $1500 they used to cost to have installed, but when you need to communicate...

I have tried looking them up, but it's hard to find info on stuff that was out before Google.
I know nothing about e waste lol be a nice little work area buddy! Great video buddy!
Thank you, scrap brother!
Cell boosters were useful in rural areas years ago.
For sure. It was the only way we could call home from camp.
Good video well done
Thanks 👍
Interesting device.
They were the shiznit back in the day. Up here you had to have a booster or a 3W bag phone to be able to call.
@HHRecycling wow that's crazy

@@HHRecycling lol I don't blame you ! That some good money

I've always been a bit squirrelly. Lol
Metalized plastic? I have seen something like that before
Yeah, it's really weird.
Maybe it’s a pumice stone
I tried rubbing my callouses off with it, but it just gave me cancer.
Cell boosters are not needed like they were 10 years ago. Networks have been built out and coverage is very good now days.

I wonder if it would have worked as a cb antenna booster?
Not sure. Nobody uses CBs here. I have a bunch of them but don't know how I would test it.
Nope, the frequencies are much too far apart. The cell booster would also not be a legal device to amplify CB frequencies.

Thanks for always being here, NotPete.
Another great train wreck. Keep them coming buddy.
That's my whole life. I couldn't stop them if I tried. 😂
Really I'm 1st
Yes you are! 😜
