These days there paying .28 per pound & copper #2 is holding above $ 2.57 to $2.70 in flux day to day
back a time motors were stuck at .19 to .20 year after year ,
---------
Unless others can refresh my memory I think it took 4 vacuum motors to equal one pound copper
with a result of 10# to 11# of short and 1# to 2 # of mix - - PER 4 MOTORS .
This decent price .28 seems to officially closed the gap to no need to dismantle motors
Also I notice many Vac's motors now have a plastic shell that once dismantled is a loss
I used to get .14 or less for Sealed (ac compressors)
But now @ .23 is making me wonder also .
I've been saving and saving for the proverbially motor dismantle marathon
& as luck seems to have it the time is now sell as is .
-- BTW --
Based on Gross ton
mix $205
short $305
cars $204
AL .54 per #
Lead .63 per #
Brass $1.80 per#
