Insane find. Id just like to mention that most of that has quite a lot of collectors value. The Sony VCRs are expensive due to their high image quality(several hundred each) great for archiving. The huge 1 inch tape recorders especially (the bosch&ampex) I know quite a few collectors who’d pay a lot for stuff like this. This is history. Even broken, it’s still very desirable.

Old broadcasting equipment, has always been a treat. Those old VU meters go very fast, a nice cherry on top for scrapping.

I got winded watching you load. Awesome video.

i hope we can see a follow up..scrapping those items. thanks

This load is very good with some good value thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother

Some very cool broadcast gear there. I love these types of pickups.

Good day Ben! Thanks Mate!

Keep up the hard work in the videos.

Hi eWaste Ben,😊👍👍 I haven't seen any videos from you in a long time and would like to see more videos from you and the Sony devices with VHS are the real ones. Really expensive in terms of price just like the Bosch tape

Hi Ben. I'm 80 born to parents that danced for a living. Performed on live broadcast TV as a part of the "Ed Sullivan Dancers". Ampex had just developed Video Tape and made a special offer to members of the theatrical community to buy into Ampex stock. My folks weren't technical so didn't buy. By, By my chance to inherit millions.

Wow more scrap keep rolling mate

great video eWaste Ben

Mechanix gloves with knuckle protection, Ben. You are welcome.

Good stuff!

Great video my friend

I know a guy that doesn't scrap things this old, he rents them out as props to production studios in Sydney at least then is saves them in a way !

😮I would love to scrap out a big pile of that stuff I really enjoy the processing more than anything especially intricate stuff that I’ve never taken apart before it’s like working a puzzle

I’d like to see you break it down and how much gold it might have in it!

Nice vintage pickup. Should be a fun scrap if nobody wants them.

Nice video!

A lot of that analog stuff is a gold mine.. Score🥰

I think you need to get the local school's 1st rugby team to help you load/unload. It'll be good exercise for them.

wow very nice full broad cast to air transition amp tapes master real the lot , watch you dont prang a nut lifting them mate. or your back. nice fid lol awaits the tv stud build in the garage llol

Maybe that tape is Elle Mcphersons first TAB tv add? 😍😍

I would contact the colleges and universities to see if they want to buy them for their media studies courses. Great video as always.

Incredible!!! 👍😁👍😁👍😁👍😁👍😁👍😁👍

You need a lift on the back of your next van to lift those heavy loads 💪

Many german items. Bildgenerator means Picturemaker

OJ Simpson Hertz commercials on the tape...jumping over suitcases at the airport.

WOAH!!! WOOOOHHHAHOO!!!

The big power supply and the Grundig device you showed around 11:15 are German made, try pronouncing Spannungsversorgungsgerät correctly and you get a beer haha!

Powdery stuff is more than likely mold.

keep up the hard work. and don’t forget to pfff twice a minute.

You might hurt your back having to lift each item 6 times:into the van,out of the van,on your table,off your table on your van again and to the scrap yard!!

All those knobs, switches, dials, potentiometers probably have a lot of silver contacts, maybe gold? 999 Dusan would love these!

Whatever that whole pile of equipment does, I have no idea, but there’s probably an app for that nowadays.😅

Wow i liked

Uhh Ben, yummy! I can't wait to see inside some of these bits! I bet there are some beautiful tape heads on that Ampex. Can't wait to see inside the rest of that Bosch unit if you end up scrapping it! I've had tapes like that, I think it is just mildew mould. This really was an awesome pick up! 🔥 The only things I recognise there is my brain thinking so many of those components look like boobs😂🙈😬 but that isn't quite what you meant is it🤪

Hi Ben, when are you going online with Ben's TV Station? Millions of Dollars this Stoff New in the 80-90er Years

The most interesting thing is to realize how much we have evolved technologically in the last fifty years. Today a simple cell phone has more functions than all this equipment combined. I'd like to know what you're going to do with all this. If you are going to disassemble and select the components, you will probably need another life lol.

I say, Ben, hold onto all of it. Learn how to make an TV channel, wait for the apocalypse, then be the only station in the wasteland!

All analog video recording and transmission and test gear. Saleable somewhere if it wasn't wet.

by the way Ben some people rent out stuff like that on ebay ect a vits would cost you around £170

Yayyy🎉🎉🎉

Both of those reel to reel machines (BOSCH and AMPEX) are 1" VTRs (Video Tape Recorder). You already saw all the electronics in that existing rack that go with the BOSCH system, but that 19" black chassis with the cards (but the one in the first slot is missing) is the processing cards for the AMPEX VTR so they both go together. The AMPEX box with ALL the BNC jacks on the back appears to be heart of a video switcher. A console with the fader T bars would have connected to the AMPEX box. This is where you would do all your switching in your studio from cameras to VTRs, to computer systems, etc. The SONY BetaCamSP recorders look awesome! Those are still valuable . You asked why someone would want this stuff and not only collectors would love it but business that convert old recordings to modern digital platforms such as streaming or DVD. Remember, recordings before the 2000s were on tape cause there were no high end digital hard drives readily available for storing video so ever since the invention of video tape in 1956, recording to different forms of video tape (2", 1", U-Matic, BetaCam, DVCPRO, SVHS, etc) were being used to store programs for long term. However, MANY programs have never seen the light of day most their original airing because they are STILL stored on these ancient formats AND there are not nearly as many companys in the world that are doing these conversions so stuff might get lost over time. Not to mention the companies that do these converstions need to stockpile legacy supplies and gear (like above) to continue to function. So if I were you, look around in your country and others and see if you can find any of these conversion companies would would like 1" or BetaCamSP machines and offer them at a discount price cause we are not sure if any of this equipment is in working order. It looked like the "powder stuff" on the BOSCH tape machine reels looked like mold so these machines are going to need some repair before they can be used. Best of luck man! Love your videos!

why don't you reverse the van closer to the pile?

i think you have a big money ( not from scrap but for bosh ampex and others thinks to do with bosh ... )

Backup to the pile

you would be a rich man if you could get say 5% of the new prices for them

I wanna see inside those fossils. Looks like lots of fun

Maybe invest in a pair of work gloves, Ben - cutting your hands on bare metal can get ugly quick.

Carry bandaids with ya that's a bad cut

👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎

That's an old video last year Ben

❤❤❤🇮🇳🇮🇳

If you drive the car 10 meters to the back you dont have to walk that far for each item😂😂

Good morning good night

Puffing and panting along on this pickup ben

Ben: Might be old skool eighties... Me: don't say porn, don't say porn Ben: porn! heh heh!

Hey Ben, some collectors of vintage AV tech and Laboratory tech have been bagging you on some online forums, so please scrap it all for our viewing pleasure !

the the boch main broadcast tape will have outputs you could take to a monitor easy most them are fun toys not broadcasting until its your to far from uk lol or i would be at your door buying all the time its all man cave stuff man. all your other tape decks. they go into your master real this is your master of all the shows been sent to the transmitter after your shows have been line up to start adds advents i.e paid for . and the voice, the person that tells you what on next all items run delayed as to sinc them and in national emergency broadcasts at given time your digitalizes etc sends the packets over the FM modulator so you have a full with redundant back up station you will get all the leads to god your jammy man the leads cost a packet to have made up so dont scrap them if your flogging these there the main part to link it all together the systems i used to have was Super vhs decks with with the mixers used them to record from dragon and fast edit into back of my editing computers hope you get to sell a few set ups

هل تقبل دعواتي لك لي الإسلام

😊 Brother you should give me some of your awesome scrap. I in Malaysia do export some of this to me because I do micro scrap on all this PCB board. Myself handicap and don't have any job. Got family to feed. Do send to me if you willing brother.

Too bad you don’t have a bigger box type truck to load stuff… It would help a lot and you could grab more… I’m from the USA so I don’t know your situation.. I luv the videos and I feel kinda bad for you because I hear how bad you huff and puff to breath moving the stuff… I hope you are ok? Hugs!!
