    Harvesting Copper

    The pictures are self explanatory, I'm working on an old gasoline pump with my ground cable to a flat metal surface so that i can move the starters around with out having to affix the ground every time I turn one over.

    The solenoids go into small motor breakage, I recently learned that the brushes may contain silver but have not performed any acid testing to confirm this.

    From the first picture, note that I have only cut the head of the bolt off, with a hammer tap the nose cone this brings the armature out of the casing.

    From the pile of scrap, you will see than i have blown the screw out that holds the metals core in place around the field coil. Once you have blown all the screws tap the casing with your hammer the coils will now fall out.



    Regards
