I hit paydirt yesterday at work. 
My office building has a testing lab in it and is clearing out a mezzanine. 
I scrounged through the pallet box they were tossing the electronics recyclables into and pulled out an old rackmount 5mhz oscilloscope that works, and a rack mount 36volt @ 15 amp max variable powersupply. 

I also grabbed some other bits and pieces for the "i like to tear things apart" pile.  I also ended up with a pair of line dryer, pressure regulator, auto oiler sets for my compressor, and a couple of solid slabs of aluminum about 1" thick and about a foot square. 

The one time i actually enjoyed being in a building that does 5s audits. 

I'm going to raid that box again before i go home today.   

 :D

Recycle it for cash money.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I pay the recyclers for chunks like that, I bought a horizontal mill last summer, and a craftsman 109 metal lathe this summer.

I need the precioussssssss

Plus i dont have to ask the wife to bring some home from work. 

shardian:
I worked at an aluminum rolling plant 2 years ago. I could have gotten all the scraps I wanted as long as I asked first. Any sheet thickness/ strength I wanted was available, and a LARGE selection of test blocks ranging from 1" to 6" thick in a variety of alloys.

I guess that would be your dream huh? ;D

That stuff would look great in Paige's living room.
