    Some times if i have a large load of motors ( that I do ) I have also put them as such.
    but the ratio is 1 cd drive to 12 vac motors ,
    need to get to the 400 pound range more weight more forgiving of the fluff motors
    .27 .28 per pound

    those boards might only weigh 3/4 ounce each
    I have held them a silver dollar feels heaver
    I bet it takes 20 drives to get a pound
    A cd unit weighs 2 pound
    at CB price about 36 cents X 20 7.20 bucks
    at motor price 55 cents X 20 = 11 bucks



    so if 20 boards = 3 bucks
    then remaining weight of the mix = 3.25 bucks
    total $6.25
