Why are you scrapping it? Is there some serious damage to the machine
somewhere? Whats broken?

Dont tell me you are scrapping a perfectly good machine......?

So sell it as a functional machine. Figure your costs, add a profit
and sell it.

They move it of course..no hair off your ass.

It will bring far more than scrap price even sold cheaply.

It's not him who scrapped it, it's the people he bought it from.
He's trying to salvage what he can before rescrapping it.
The amount of perfectly good machines going into dumps and metal
salvage in the past 50 years is enough to make any one of us angry,
and want to throw up. Horrible.

A smart guy with some money would grab them all and get them over to
China/India/etc. and start small companies with them, keeping them
producing and saving them from a fate worse than death.

There was a time in the radiology trade when big, old "head machines"
(CAT scanners) had become obsolete in favor of faster, bigger-aperture,
higher-resolution machines. The old EMI and GE machines that sold for
millions of dollars new were going for scrap weight.

A few enterprising individuals bought old machines, only being careful to
disassemble carefully and tag everything, and not do any damage when they
hauled them off. It typically took about a week to sell one for roughly
$50K to somewhere in South America, with shipping at the burden of the
buyer.

My friend Terry used to buy the old Baird Gamma Cameras for parts,
then make thousands reselling parts and maintenance. That's how I got
a free trip to NYC in 1998. We did a PM on a Baird at a little
hospital, Massapequa General, on Lon Gisland. I used to live near to
Oceanside, CA and we visited Oceanside, NY on the way there. g
We had one day in NYC so I got to go up the Empire State Building,
ride the subway, and float out to Liberty and Ellis Islands. Then we
had half a day for a trip to D.C., where I visited the Vietnam
Memorial and Lincoln and Jefferson Monuments, taking special note of
the Clinton/Viagra (Washington) Monument.

Working on those old machines took forever. The new computerized
boxes sure reduce that. They're a bit more accurate, too.
The 14" hard disks were a trip, and data so sparse!

There are doctors here that do that. One has a hospital in India that
is state of the art, only 7 years backwards. Not bad at all. A group
of them will retire and run their hospital in a few years so I heard.
Maybe after another round... :-)
