    71 Kgs a HUGE fridge motor…!

    Normally they are 11Kgs, 10 Kg Steel & 1Kg Copper = NZ$7.50
    @ NZ$ 0.33/Kg for motors. NZ$3.60



    Any fridge compressor larger than the normal household fridge unit I sell at NZ$0.33 a Kg as 'Fridge compressors)
    I just checked the current price, they used to be NZ$0.28/Kg...

    They weight too much..There's not much more Copper in them anyway. It often takes much more to get them apart.
    They are not consistent. I don't get many of them. They often turn out to have Aluminium windings, or a mix of Ali/Copper...

    And, out of the pistons/tubing/springs/brackets & bolts. I can make a model of one of these.....
