I scrapped a small electric space heater yesterday. Took about 5 mins or so (several screws), but came apart easily. Mostly plastic, but motor had some decent copper, and most of the wiring was copper. Freebie from a coworker. It's always fun to see what's inside stuff.
Don't forget the "heater" wire was probably nichrome, cha-ching
Cool ...... at the risk of sounding like a dumb***, is that the thing that kinda looks like an aluminum radiator or something?
That's the wire that makes heat in most devices. A lot of yards will not pay for the nichrome but certain ones will, I think we even had a buyer or two here for all those specialty metals.Quote:
