    Just a tip about microwaves

    Some people here probably know this already but I've never seen any discussion about it so I'll just put this here in case. The little motor on the bottom of the microwave, the one that turns the glass table, if you can't resell them don't scrap them for motor price! Put it on its side and hit it with a hammer a few times, the bottom will come off and you'll see some gears, keep hitting on the side until a spool of copper come flying out. Very easy and only takes a few seconds for a nice amount of copper! I had sold these as is for years and just figured this out a week ago.
