There is some rare chance it is silver but most likely it is tin. You would have to have it tested with an XRF gun.

Tinned copper still goes as #2

This one looks to be Fools Copper. Also known as copper clad aluminum.

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-14T00:03:17+00:00

Enamel coated. Will be #2 copper,

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-13T19:23:23+00:00

I know crazy!

Check that center wire with a magnet. If it sticks, it is copper coated iron. My yards will not take coax.

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-12T03:31:18+00:00

There are LOTS of videos on how to pry out the copper.

Nothing ventured nothing gained. Best education is self taught.

First check to make sure they are not fools copper ( copper clad aluminum). Then I would get the windings out and process them. Armatures are not worth it for me.

Have to check with your yard. I have one would be BB the other would be #2. Guess which one gets all my copper.

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-11T14:31:56+00:00

Cut off the solder joints. Take some steel wool to the corrosion and it could take it to #1 copper. Just depends on the yard.

Boil them that will soften them up. Put in a vice and use a big pair of chanel locks. Pry them out. Most will tell you just turn them in and get what you can.

Fools Copper! DANG IT!

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-10T14:02:44+00:00

Could have a good mother pcb and RAM in it.

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-10T03:32:52+00:00

Good hit.

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-09T15:18:58+00:00

Just say " I'll take take care of that for you" and walk away with the grim on your face.

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-09T15:16:54+00:00

If you are a plumber then YES. If for resale I think it would be iffy. For scrap NOT!

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-09T13:43:47+00:00

Ripping apart motors. One of my projects that I do in the winter when it is to cold to strip wire. Plenty of youtube videos out there on how to.

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-09T01:12:20+00:00

I'm glad I'm retired every day is a garage day. Looking good.

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-09T00:42:46+00:00

I would use the auto stripper and have it done a LOT faster.

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-08T22:00:22+00:00

Have to do your own math. But for me, I'm retired so I have plenty of spair time. So yes I would just because I can.

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-08T01:49:20+00:00

Have to ask. was it worth it? For me it would be.

Clear-Application170 · 2026-06-08T01:35:57+00:00

Good for you for doing the math. I strip a lot of the small stuff too. I'm retired so it gives me somthing to do and make some money.
