I've been wondering about this myself, so when this thread came up I decided to scrap one and see. This is a Micronta Discovery 2 that is shot beyond recovery.
After taking it apart, the yields are:
Insulated wire 1.5 oz
steel 2.4 oz
plastic 1 lb 7.2 oz
coil wire 3.3 0z copper coil, thin wire
aluminum tube 6 oz
circuit board 3.7 oz mid grade
Total weight 2 lb 8.1 oz
