With gold over $1000/oz, has anyone figured out what
the real scrap value of
something like a 7090
or 360 currently is for the copper and precious metals?
That is what you're fighting against, and it has been the same since the
70's.
If anyone notices the amount of copper and gold in an old box in the back
room, it is gone.
I would say it depends on the business that owns the machine. The
relatively small value of a S/360 model 22 to an independent old-time
service bureau might be worth more than the monster value of a 3033 to
a good sized bank.
