By me yes they are.
are they worth stripping?
I don't strip wire out here, as you need a busniess license to get bare bright price. They do not buy stripped wire the public.
Build up a sizable load and sell it to Highvoltage, might get your best price there.Quote:

I am surprised to find out Az has outlawed striped wire. Just another attempt to control free commerce.
If you do strip then put it in the #2 copper and stranded will be #2 unless the individual strands are the same diameter as a #2 pencil lead or larger.
All Bare Bright has to be #1 copper first and many yards don't have that classification only #1 and #2 copper. Mike.
Power cords from monitors, cut the plug off, they have gold pins, I leave all plugs on the cords unless they have gold pins.
The part that plugs into the wall has gold pins??Quote:

Thanks guys ,that's what I meant to say. How about the femail ends that don't have pins but have little slots that pins go in, are they gold also?

Power supply ends are not gold. Some of them might be brass - but not gold.
I was under the understanding that power supply ends are brass.
Your losing out. Look where they plug into, if it's gold on the m-board and drives then the ends are also!!! Been discussed many times. Gold plugs into gold.Quote:

AZ and CA have some of the worst scrap laws in the country.In cali if you sell non ferris you have to wait three days to get paid.If you dont have a contractors license.
No, those are brass, if you look they are a different shade than the gold ends.Quote:

Sucks ya can't take'm to your local yard without a hassle, on the bright side as was mentioned you got High Voltage.
Oh yea, far as Cali goes..just remembered...Tulare, Ca was one of the bigger meth capitals in the USA a dozen or so years ago. Between Meth and the crack heads its no surprise.

I thought the only ends on the psu that are gold plated are saTA? Correct me if Im wrong please.....
I had to go to Google just now to understand that tweekers (or tweakers)* are meth heads. I always just thought it meant thieves.
*Apparently, either spelling is acceptable. How about that?
Thank you 688 for answering my quesstions that's a big help.
You for real? That is a load of crap. (not saying you are lying...saying that it is stupid that they do that).Quote:

Haha Burly.
Yea, I tend to spell it both ways. An yep tweaker/tweeker is a meth addict. I learned all about it when I lived in Az. It's a rather popular state for making meth sadly and you can see the effects in some parts. Which is why the harsh laws on wires/scrapping in general, at lest to my understanding. Same with Cali I imagine, a number of small cities there have a huge meth epidemic. Meth is serious business and a straight path to ruin for those using and cooking it.
Anyhow I ramble, back to your regularly scheduled forum on scrapping! :)
