I have 7 of these large super heavy rectifiers that they are scraping at work. Ive pulled one out to attempt to scrap it. they are probably 100# +.
What should I expect to sell it as at the yard? I do not have the time or resources to pull all the coils of copper off. There are 6 large coils on each of these.
Scrap iron is probably around $.06 to to $.08 per lb. I would pull any and all copper from it if possible.
You need to take one to the yard and find out from them. All yards are different.
Can you post a picture? There are a couple of members in your area that might be interested in buying them from you and paying more than the scrap yard because they will separate the metals providing a larger return. Some larger ones contain other non ferrous metals beyond copper and might contain a mercury switch.
I am attempting to post a pic, but the system wont let me... I have a decent amount of scrap here that someone could tear down and make some good money, but I just dont have the time to do it, and I have to remove it from the building by next week.

About the easiest way .
Its probably going to be “electric motor or copper transformer” classification. Probably $.10 to $.15 per lb is my guess. Take the time to get the copper out if you can......Quote:

Nice Coils.
I'd figure out how the Iron core is stacked around the coils. Undoing those bolts might let the whole thing fall apart.
The I & E would be just sheet metal afterwards though.
Or use a carpenters Chisle, or a angle grinder with a cutoff disc on it, to cut thru the sides of one end of the coil and then use a hammer & punch to push the coil out.
At least that way you still get HMS price for the Iron.
