Those kind are simple to breakdown...why wouldn't you? Then again your in HI..so silly question ya'll get way less for copper then us.For me it's well worth it for those types.
Here's how you do it everyone...it's really complicated so follow along with me.
Place said transformer on a hard surface.
Get Hammer.
Smash.
Pick up copper.
Repeat.
Thank me for the stress relief an adding to your bottom line.
Seriously tho, those ones in the picture are all simple. One or two whacks an your done. The taped ones might take a minute longer, being as you got to separate it from the tape. Rest in that picture are nothing but a plastic spool with copper on it. Hardest part is making sure it doesn't go flying away. lol.
Small tiny ones, I just sell whole when I get a good amount, but the ones in the picture are worth it for me. It all adds o my copper pile, but I also get more then a 1.29 for copper. Of course the big ones are also, if you got the time an tools to separate them.
I need more questions like this, so I can promote the hammer technique.
As always...YMMV.
One of the reasons you probably arent finding a straight answer is also because..it varies so much person to person. I got the time to spend 10 minutes smashing a bunch with a hammer, but someone like BC, or Lousy might not. Plus..I like smashing things. seriously...I break things for a living, so it's quite fun for me!
Sirscrapalot - I had a quote, but BC stole it, outta Island envy.
