What should I be getting for appliance motors with aluminum windings?

And you get the difference between 'shread' & 'heavy iron' for the iron.
Thats my deal with a guy for fridge motors.
I scrap it, keep the copper wire (2Lb each) & sell the iron at heavy iron prices & give him the money for the iron.
