Which way do you go with old auto AC compressors ?

These are some old auto / truck AC compressors. Which way do you go with them? One looks like cast aluminum case, the other like cast iron. Do you put them with cast aluminum/ cast iron, with short iron, dirty aluminum, cores maybe?

I sell all mine for aluminum breakage. Depends on the yard, but i don think many yards would argue with aluminum breakage for such items

Thanks Tater. Even the iron one goes with aluminum?

You check it with magnet ? Some of those look like steel but are really al. If the body is indeed iron, I'd put it in with my prepared, or short iron.

no I didn't, guess I just went by looks and weight. I'll sure do it next time I'm out there. Thanks again Tater

I pay $4 each for a core.

resale $30-$60 each

aw hek! guess it's outa film ; ) haha, actually they were at first, but i guess the website doesn't like the way I posted them(using the "view image" link) I wasn't sure if to use the "BB" link, the url link, the html link, etc etc, so i just clicked "view image" and copied the link

I saw the earlier ones in the first post..if ya posted others..they are a no go. If not..then..ah, Ryan is just crazy. :p
