    Like I said, I think a guy just needs to figure up the numbers that are available to him and go from there. I get low dollar for the steel & copper and high dollar for whole motors. So yeah, the numbers really do make a big difference.

    On the down side, I do have to cut the cases off of refrigerant compressors to get motor price for the innards.

    EDIT.....My #'s were based on the same 12# motor used in the original post.
