    I know it was hard work to break that thing down, but it was worth it. Good job on buying it right. Now you know more about it and can bid on others accordingly.

    Further Update:
    Lots of Interest on the Motor:
    Ok so with the Motor- I broke off the Aluminum Endcaps and sent the rest in. Without the Aluminum on it- the Rest of the Motor weighed in at 89 Lbs. With Alum I figure it would have been about 92-93 lbs.
    I run the steel in tomorrow. So this entire project will wrap then.. and you guys won't have to hear about the spin cycle anymore

    So Running Totals:
    Brass: 8 Lbs @ $1.20/lb = $7.20
    Stainless Steel: 243 Lbs @ .30/lb = $72.90
    Aluminum: 42 Lbs @ .45 lb = $18.90
    Copper Wire: 6 Lbs @ $1.00/lb = $6.00
    Electric Motor: 89 Lbs @ .20/lb = $17.20
    Steel: XXX Lbs

    $122.20 on $10 Investment thus far. Stay Tuned!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
