You should
probably determine whether these babies work before you ditch
them. They don't have enough aluminum scrap value to justify destroying
them before you know whether they work.
I have no easy way I can test them, as I ditched the PeeCee scene.
Anyway, I will almost always ask someone, on or off the list, if they want
something before I scrap it out. I am a firm believer in computer
recycling, and if a piece is not super historically important (pre-1975,
basically) and I can not get someone to take it off my hands, it gets
parted out. Anyway, money from the scrapping goes into saving other things
from the scrapper that are also important (like a warehouse I know of
filled with WWII radar stuff who's time is running out).
Yeah! Keep your eyes locked on that place Bill! Some of us mil surplus
collectors will appreciate saving that gear for sure!
Regards, Chris
