    Question Question about motor winding and transformer copper

    A while ago, I took in some copper windings to the local scrap yard and they paid me for red brass. Does that sound correct? I thought motor windings (transformers) were copper not brass, did I get screwed?:confused: Today I took apart two small motors windings and one small transformer. Some of the of the metal looks red and some looks copper color. What do you guys think?
