Default Scrap value of large electric motors, vs. small motors

I have several electric motor-like things, they are called

For scrap purposes, they are both electric motors. They are about 100

HP in size.



I bought them as complete units and I expect that I will be scrapping

them and selling off contactors and such.



When I look up prices of "scrap electric motors", I only see prices

published for fractional horsepower motors.



My question is, are large motors valued at a higher price per lb, or

lower, than fractional motors.



The total weight of these devices is 14,000 lbs, so I better do a good

research before selecting a particular scrap yard.

Hi,

Do you still have these or have you scraped them?
