There's 2 different kinds.





Top one in this pic looks for all the world like it's solid Al, but it's way too heavy. Ratt bastard file reveals a copper core in the bottom part, with Al fins.

Bottom one is in maybe 10-15% of these units, and looks to be ~15 or 20 cents worth of Cu in a block at the bottom, then a couple of Cu 'pipes'. ... Unless I could get that block out in about 2 seconds and not a high risk of slicing off a finger, I'm not really interested in fighting with it.
