Scrap value of large electric motors, vs. small motors
 

You will get a LOT more if you disassemble the motors and retreive the copper seperately. The scrap yard will pay minimally if you don't. The difference is substantial--50% or more.
Having said that, have you tried to sell them in as-is condition? Motors that size are rare and prized. You will get much more if they are running, or even if you cna just warrantee the aramtures are not shorted to ground.

They are neither rare, nor "prized".

I try to sell the better looking ones, though.

Sorry about the digging up of an old thread, but I would like to talk to you abut these motor-generator sets. I might need them. Could you please contact me? I can be reached at wdonzelli on that Gee Male doot Qom place.

Thanks.
