I am new to this and need a few pointers. - Page 2

Oh that is a copper transformer that appears to have an aluminum heatsink. Separate the copper then stick a magnet to the silver color stuff, if it doesn't stick it's aluminum, if it does stick put it in your shred pile

Hey thanks a bunch, what is the best way to get this metal around it off? What is the going price for shred metal, i am in Atlanta?

What about the red color?

Well for this shred steel you might get 7 cents a pound or maybe 11 cents. This is the easiest way to get the copper out. Hacksaw the copper sticking out from both ends, then put it in a vise and use a hammer and punch to knock the 2 pieces left in the holes. Then you don't have to deal with cutting apart steel.

I don't know about the red color. Stick a magnet to it.

What is the going rate of the copper and alum?

I hear the inside of a keyboard is worth something?

Yes but it takes many keyboards. Copper is $2 to 3 and aluminum is 50 cents. These rates are per lb

great thanks everyone!
