If your scrap dealer is telling you this stuff, you aren't nearly good
enough friends with him. :)
That's true. He's not one of my primary sources and he is sort of
difficult to deal with. But so far he's telling his regular customers the
same thing.

As you know, but others may not, if you get in good with a scrap guy,
he will sell you just about anything, provided you don't cross him. the guys at my primary scrap/surplus place, which helps
immensely in
getting interesting stuff, for cheap. When I was going through a huge
load of early-80s era equipment they managed to get a month or so ago,
the guy said to me "I'm glad you're getting this stuff, before the
pilferers got to it."
I have one source that REALLY gets a lot of stuff that should never have
gotten out. (You DON'T want to know!!!) They turn it all over to me. I
NEVER sell any of it even though I've had SIGNIFICANT offers for some of it.
