    Electric Motors

    I have several old electric motors from around the 60's and 70's; I figure I would get more by tearing them down if I scrap them then just taking them to the scrap yard whole.



    Right or wrong?

    Thanks in advance

    In all honesty only you can answer that question. I break down most motors I get but I am easily ammused. I find it interesting to see what's inside of stuff. Best of luck, Mike.
