I had 25 motors from washers n dryers saved up when I first started scrapping. Not knowing about this forum at that time I started tearing into them one day. 24 of them turned out to be copper clad! Learned that lesson the hard the hard way. Now I know and always check first. I still save them all as the clad still pays a few pennies more for the whole motor than shred pays, but I only break down the ones with full copper windings. This forum and a little research goes a long ways!
