    Propane fired grills (alot of cast aluminum in those), Desk top, Servers, Sink and Bathroom water fixtures (mostly all brass), certain vehicle parts; like batteries, starters, aluminum transmissions, Cat Converters, Wiring, Vehicle Tires ( if in a good condition ), Wooden Shipping Pallets, Cloth, Books, Office Paper, News Print, Cardboard. Air Conditioners, Appliances; (lots of electric motors, wiring, timers, etc.) Yeah Industrial Machines are nice too. Especially if you can get your hands on newer models, that are completely computer controlled. Like Robot welders.

    I mean, there are sooooo many things out there to watch for. Cordless power tools are another good venue for cash. The Litium ion Batteries that power them are a good money maker, not to mention the electric motors that they contain.

    Me personally. I watch for the old "boom boxes" , Adding Machines, Office Telephones. All three of those contain nice electrical transformers. Blenders, Vacuums, Food Processors, personal\office printers (these all contain decent electric motors).

    I mean the list goes on and on.



    Sorry, time for bed for me. Been scrapping and processing for a few days, with little to no sleep , plus working 50+ hours per week.

    Have Fun and Be Safe !!!
