Alright guys what are you favorite things you scrap that has a lot of copper wire in it?.thought id throw it out there.
Household? TV/Computer monitors
What I've actually gotten? Industrial light fixtures
Compressors from fridges, dehumidifiers and ac units. Those usually have a lb or more once you cut them open.
substations my favorite the larger the transformer the bigger the core.
Most copper for the least effort is large old microwave ovens. Over 2 lbs of copper in the 2 transformer coils. Just don't find them that often.
The newer microwaves all have copper clad aluminum wire. :(
Dont forgot though...some nukers have both a copper core and alu core....so always check,. :>~
One of my favorites also, beautiful heavy thick copper wire along with some copper sheet and lots of brass nuts and bolts.Quote:
