Most amazing dumpster dive ever!!!!

my friend is a scrapper, and actually legally gets stuff from the university of toronto (they save stuff for him) then if the stuff is cool i get it instead of the scrap yard.
yesterday he brought me 3 giant pieces of 1/2" aluminum 2 are 12 x 28 inches and one is 15 x 33 inches.

This thread looks to have gotten a little old but I'm new here and wanted to brag about my dumpster finds.

My best by far was a Marantz 3200/140 preamp/amp combo i pulled out of a high school dumpster. Best sounding amplifier I have ever heard. Only issue was that one unit didnt have a fuse in it for some reason. I replaced the fuse expecting it not to work and the entire thing worked perfectly. Unfortunately at the time I was hurting for cash and sold the pair for $400

A year later I came across a pair of Electro-Voice SH15-2 horn loaded stage speakers in the same dumpster. I don't drive by that place without looking in the dumpster anymore.

More recently I pulled a samson servo 200 amplifier that I repaired successfully with a $5 relay
also a samson servo 550 amplifier that I am currently in the process of replacing a vented cap

that's a shame, that pair is gorgeous!
