@ I think I found three of the cheapest made microwaves. But I did get some silver contacts and the fan motors had bright copper . I see a copper ingot in the future
@Hill-13 mate I hate them because of the beryllium magnetron pink I see people mess with them all the time like me you know that 0.006 of a gram airborne could kill you. That's a grain the size of a pin head. Even though them microwaves are aluminum oxide it still freaks me out and the costic soda used in dishwasher liquids burns like sulphuric acid and gives nasty vapours
@ i agree I had never taken one apart until Saturday night. Unless it’s old then I will pick it up . Finding aluminum windings in those huge transformers was disappointing .
👍👍👍 pozdrawiam serdecznie 🤗
We have alot of older ones still up here so fortunately still have double copper or at least single copper windings... but those are going fast .....
I was disappointed with the transformers , but found free silver so it was a win and they aren’t taking up space anymore
@Hill-13 yeah, i don't pass them up , at least for my area , I know other places it's just not worth it
Microwaves by far are the worse scrap and dishwashers but I can not turn free scrap down time costs me nout.
I was hoping for more copper . I did those three last night while converting silver chloride . The transformers had aluminum windings ( drag )
@Hill-13 in England there are screw apart plugs and moulded plugs the screw apart plugs are always copper windings on everything
