Theres Ali in the inside radiator, if they are really really old, it may be brass sheet & copper tube, most likely its Ali.



Your washing machines are most probably also going to have copper windings in the motors.
And about 50 grams copper in the water pump.
Scratch the windings first with a sharp screwdriver to see what colour it is under the varnish, copper = good. silver = Ali = not so good.
Thanks very much for this information mate, its really helpful..!
Sounds like you may have broken a few down in your time eh?

cheers & Be Lucky all.
