Side cutters 😂😂😂😂😂 Sorry, it’s funny. My dad would groan and correct you, they are diagonal pliers. He especially got shirty when someone would confuse motor and engine. Cars do NOT run on motors (electric wire magnetics) they are engines (gas powered piston explosion chambers). Though now we do have battery powered electric motor cars 😁 Dad would be impressed and shirty all at once 🙏 No matter your funny dialect, great content, thank you ✨

I did start like you removing the silver contacts one by one. But quickly realised when my silver cell is running I will use as dirty silver to feed it and recovery the crystal elemental silver. As a by product the copper will be cemented out on tin. So I just cut close with snips and store for future refining. Awesome video brother

You have the right idea!! It's not hard to remove them! When you're twisting them, pull downa little with the pliers that is on the contact end, doing this you're applying pressure to the back side of the contact and it will pop right out of the hole ! Great video Brother! Thank you for sharing..!

Scrapitall, I made a special jig out of 1inch square tubing with various size holes, find the right size hole, just a little larger than the contact, fit the contact over the hole, use a small punch on the back usually one tap with a hammer and it pops it right out. I can make a vid for you and send it to you, so you can see what you think about it.

Are they solid ? And how to proceed
@scrapitall200 2 ай бұрын
They are not pure silver. Next step is to refine them using acids or find a refiner or sell them as is on eBay. Thank you for watching.

I like that so many people love silver like I do, but at the current fake spot price it doesn't seem like an efficient use of time to collect these micro-amounts which then need more work to refine. Has anyone done a cost analysis of grams per hour of labor to recover these bits?

I scrap as a hobby and I think it’s fun. I understand it’s not for everyone. I don’t know the amount of pure silver that can be recovered. Thank you for watching.

@@scrapitall200 10-4. I have to admit that I have been collecting broken solar panels for similar reasons. Some I can repair and are producing power for me. The rest I stockpile until someone figures out a viable way to recover the silver in them, since the average solar panel contains 2/3 of ounce of silver. But it is in silver paste form a difficult to separate. Thanks.
