Sorry, let me explain myself. It was not the dehumidifier that was a mess. I was able to recover the Copper and Aluminum just fine. But when I decided to open up the compressor (motor) it was a oily mess not to mention the time it took to recover the motor windings and cut off disked I used up on my 4 ½ inch grinder just to gain a small amount of copper. Like I stated earlier it was a learning experience, But I do not think I will tackle the compressor again as there is not real gain.
