imyourgirl, I just broke one down today. I think $20.00 might be a bit high as scrap value, but definitely worthwhile nonetheless. Very easy to work on. The steel, bolts and rollers could come in handy for projects too. Other than the wiring, the transformer and DC motor yielded about 1.5 to 2 lbs of copper. There were also a couple of circuit cards, a hand sized aluminum heat sink and a circuit breaker that I opened up for the silver contacts. I would say the one I broke down had a scrap value of about $10.00.
