    Electric plug ends.

    Well i been saving my plugs for a while, had a ice cream bucket full. so the temp was 106 decided to sit under the A/C watch tv and clean them,really dont think it was worth the effort. just some rough figures, i lost 5lbs of rubber if sold as chopper wire, thats 2 bucks. ended up with 2lbs of brass which will bring $3.20, the copper yield was maybe a half lb, so say $1.15. my effort should bring in $4.35,but subtract the rubber $2.00, i actually gained $2.35,spread that over three hours,not a very good average.But i had nothing else to do, so now i know.
