    I scrap them. The Cu with solder on is #2 Cu but much of the Cu tubing will go as #1 if you cut it from the rest. I also sell the Al fin with Cu tubes as Cu/Al radiator price here.

    If you heat up the Cu plug at the bottom to melt the solder then make sure you have cut the Cu tubes. The reason is pressure will build in tubes and will explode. I know this because I have done it and got a surprise. Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
