    see i was going crazy i thought because i have thrown out hundreds of microwaves with out removing these things when i get home in a few days i will take the pics and post them here cause the research i did on here and other sites is very confliting. the attunetors and this wire mesh looking stuff is what a friend took to 2 pawn shops since he did not have a tester himself and he is a fellow scrapper and told me that it tested as 10k plated but they would not buy it of course and i thought he was just bull craping me but when i look on the web which is of course not always right sure but in this case there is stuff being sold on ebay there are other sites that say this too and on here is were i prefer to listen and learn because so far i have not found a better site than this to learn from and even on here there is conflicting things so thats why i am asking because i am sitting on almost 200 more microwaves i have not thrown out yet so as soon as i can i am going to tear some out and go have it tested at a jewerly store thats really good with me about buying stuff i find and will post what i have found out here

    That little wire mesh thing is made of BRASS. I have about 20 of them saved up.
