Thought I would post this for those who are seeing whether breaking down compressors is worth it or not.
Begin Weight: 19 lbs 2 oz
Begin Value: 19 lbs 2 oz @ .15 cents per pound = $2.87
End Metal Weight 17 lbs 6.5 oz
End Metal Value = 17 lbs 6.5 oz @ .10.5 cents per pound = $1.83
End Copper Weight = 1 lbs 11.6 oz
End Copper Value = 1 lbs 11.6 oz @ $3.30 per pound = $5.69
Approx. Wear On Blade and Grinder = .35 cents
Total Profit = $4.30
You can easily do 4 of these in and hour. with practice you could probably do up to 10 in 1 hour. So if you like to work for a minimum of $17.30 an hour, you are throwing away money if you dont break them down

Hope this helps some people out.
