I've taken apart 10 pool motors in the last month and only 2 was all copper. The others were either all aluminum or the 2 smallest strands were copper. I also have been fortunate enough to have taken apart 3 pool heaters and gotten about 60 pounds on copper.
Final breakdown 3.75lbs #2 copper ($17.21) at $4.59 a pound and 20lbs tin ($3.20) at $0.16 a pound. Note: of course motor fell off after the small grind on the pin attaching the motor 3 seconds after taping
Glad you enjoyed it. Would have liked to have gotten the motor out to show. Of course, once I stopped taping I made the cut on the spring with the grinder and out popped the motor.
Good day James I guess being out in country is reason for not finding any Boy I bought 2- 7/16 bolts at HH & they wanted $1.76 for them Live & learn Thanks
Yeah, my parents live out in the country and my dad finds the scrap in town as he is going to work, never in the country. Although, I have found the odd tin and appliance put out by farmers.

Thanks for watching.
I can’t believe you didn’t show us taking off the copper
I have links to how to do it. That motor was a small bit of effort since it was so massive. I would have needed another 15 minutes
Sometimes no comment is the best comment 🙂! Awesome video my friend!
Lol. It was funny, of course as soon as I stopped taping and made that small cut on the spring in the front it fell right out.
