    I believe that melting US silver coinage is fine, you just cannot melt (non-silver) nickels or pennies.

    Heh, being closer to the water is pretty nice. Curbco seems a bit thin here but that's proably because I'm not looking hard enough.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I tried and most of the legs stayed on the board so I gave up after a few. As for RLS' comment, I assumed we were talking about the standard dark blue & grey electrolytic ones that are all...

    Sounds like a decent bit of work, but with a value of $57k I think a little work is warranted. Would be a shame to turn it down just cause it'd be a little trouble.

    If you were really bored and had a lot of time to kill you could collect a ton of em and pull out all the little metal strips. Maybe I'll do that when I get home, nothing better to do at the moment.

    I don't really have the means to cut off copper windings, and I'll most likely knock the shell off and add it in as motors. I was just being a bit silly.
