    Huge industrial electric motor.

    New to the scrapping forums here thought I would post a few questions about a big industrial type electric motor I aqcuired while scrapping.

    This thing weighs at least 150-200lbs and is about 30" in diameter. Probably from the 60's as it is cast iron and pretty old looking.

    My question is would it be worth breaking down to get the copper out? I know smaller motors sometimes arnt worth the time but as big as this thing is It might be worth trying to take this beast apart.



    Any tips or info would help!
