    Big Transformers

    there are some big transformers on Govdeals.

    http://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa...43&acctid=1577

    I wonder how much copper would be in each?



    they weigh about 6000 lbs each.

    Those are roughly 95% copper but are usually graded as #2 clean...only stuff on wire is varnish.
