I break that down by knocking the brass (?) end off on the bottom and tossing it in the brass bucket, pulling the cast zinc (?) arms. Sometimes there's a brass ball & socket thing where the shaft goes through the arms. Pop that out & then throw the arms in the diecast bucket, and then throwing the wound shaft in the motor bucket. Done.
The time you spend learning Tourettes while you're fighting with trying to get 75 cents worth of copper out of an item your yard oughta pay ~30 cents for as is could be better spent elsewhere.
I'd say every scrapper oughta do it once, though.... just to learn WHY they won't do it again.
