    First you have to decide what is the maximum you can safely and repeatedly lift. Be realistic in answering this question. Mine was 20lbs and I was able to get motors that weighed 10lbs each. I broke them down for the CU, AL , steel and insulated wire.

    After awhile I moved into scraping computers and other electronics.

    If you were to really read the old threads and keep up with the new ones you will be able to discover areas and techniques available to you.

    What works for me or someone else may not for you. With the thousands of members we have many different ways of getting and processing scrap. Learning to test and troubleshoot computes and other electrons is a possibility, I did it.



    Good luck and keep reading, 73, Mike
