Two years ago, a local furniture and office furnishing warehouse was going out of business. A friend of man who does a lot of buying and selling and I went down where he purchased a few items. The floor workers told us they had to have the building empty by the next day, so they were tossing everything unsold into the dumpsters. I enquired about two large Sharp printer, and they gave them to me. The B&W works great, but the color printer showed error. Since the machines were 16 years old, I finally got tired of squeezing past them on the porch at my side entrance and took them apart.
Lots of brittle plastic. lots of tiny screws holding small plastic panels that conceal small boards. Good little boards, but tiny, but many, but lots of them for one machine. It also had a decent power board. It had a motherboard and a SeaGate 80gb harddrive. Very little wiring, very little metal, but plenty of boards.
Was it worth my time? If you measure worth by the money they will bring"? Probably not. But I learned something; I rested in the shade and didn't nap the afternoon away, and hey hey, every board, n o matter how small is "One more for the load, one more for the road. I'll add photos and listing of the boards later.
