I have been scrapping lots of copiers and printers in the last few weeks.
I have got about 2lb of the small bushes/bearings that support the shafts, they look similar to brass, but they are not. (they have magnetic properties)
Does anyone know for sure what metal these bushes are ? or what they could be at least. I will be melting them all into an ingot once I have enough, for future use.
Thanks
Those bushings are made using powdered technology,
