I
Stand on transformer with my left foot and run 9inch angle grinder with cutoff disc down one side of the transformer, cutting off all of one end of the loops off.
Then I use a hammer and steel punch to punch out the rest if the coil.
I scopp up all the loose copper wire, then bash the bigger end flattish to loosen the plastic and the tape and pull out the rest of the copper coil in two goes.

That's it.

But, I get to sell all those I,s and E's whole as 'heavy metal insize'.



I put the smaller ones into the larger 1/2 of the fridge compressor cases and tack weld the two larger parts together into one large peice that you can still see inside of.
Same with the microwave transformer peices.

But, if I could pull out all the I's and E's that fast, i'd do it his way......
