e-Waste Finds 16/12/2024 : Recovered a few rigs to check out

Join me as I check out some rigs from an ewaste hunt and donations through friends and friends of friends and friends of friends of friends over the last few months. Slim pickings again in e-waste, but got a few donations! lets see what we have!

Note that anything I ever obtain from e-waste gets saved, restored or fixed to be given away as components or complete systems, so it can be used again instead of being processed for precious metals. Anything not working goes to the metal recyclers. I just like exploring and fixing hardware and do not profit from it. I don't actually do this all that often :)
