Breaking down a power supply vs selling whole

I think you need to weigh 10 or 20 to get the weights great enough to registar. For example the Cu coils and Al heat sinks are so small that it would take many to show enough weight to make any consideration.

For me my local yard pays shred price, last time was .12lb so there is a difference there. If I were to get .15lb or more with the wires cut off the outside I would gladly let them go. I have completely dismantled 75+ and frankly .12lb is looking good at this point. Mike.

I think this was a fairly common dell PS. To get my numbers I could multiply my results by 10. That should ball park fairly close. Would need a more accurate scale for this part however.
