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. --Root ------------------------------------------- I killfile any poster that offers up off-topic content, in reply to someone else or not, it doesn't matter. |

They are neither rare, nor "prized".
I try to sell the better looking ones, though. i On 2014-04-27, gotroot wrote: You will get a LOT more if you disassemble the motors and retreive the copper seperately.

I might need them. Could you please contact me? I can be reached at wdonzelli on that Gee Male doot Qom place. Thanks. -- Will |
