newer box type TV little value !

The huge tv's I don't always pick up either only because I get so little for how huge they are and I can't pick them up. but the other posts about the microwaves, why are you saying its a waste to scrap them if the trans are aluminum? The whole microwave is scrapible so so what if its aluminum and not copper in the transformer? I wouldn't not waste my time on them just because of that since its still money.

Thats hard to read.
A microwave has say 900gms copper in the transformer, 80gms in the magnatron, 25 in the boards tranny & copper wire.
Thats 1Kg Copper.
With Ali in the main tranny, theres only 100gms copper & thats hard to get too, its like 50cents worth, hence the waste of $6.
I'd still have to take off all the plastic before scrapping the steel, which I don't get money for anyway.
Then I have to get rid of the plastic.
