I just put them (the transformers) in the motor/transformer bucket and sell them as is. The only transformers I take apart are microwave ones and large transformers and motors. So for me, busting the adapter open to get the transformer is worth it because my yard wont buy them with the plastic, but I don't take the copper out.

OK so now you should take your $1.00 investment and cash it in! Cut off the transformers turn them in as motors and the rest as #2 wire! Hopefully you turn that 1$ into $20 or $30!
