    Wow, thats a great price, my yard pays 25 cents a lb for transformers. My neighbor breaks bigger ones down for me with an air chisel but it seems like it takes him a long time and the mess that comes back is nothing short of spectacular! One 5 inch or so square transformer neat comes back in a 5 gallon bucket filled to the top with wire and metal, its crazy.

    I'm going to take it to my bandsaw over at my dad's workshop this weekend. I'm guessing it should cut right through that sandwiched steel.
