    Welcome to SMF from the Dakota's. A couple of thoughts for your consideration. First take the time to introduce yourself to the community. It is always nice to know a little about those you are helping. Next use the search feature in the upper right hand corner of the forum. FYI there is more than copper inside industrial fuses, more valuable metal. So after you introduce yourself and post ten times you can private message me and I will explain the valuable components and how to access them without creating a mess.

    Now an insiders secret, if you do the search you will not have any need to contact me. At the same time a thank you would be appreciated. Good luck.
    Give back more to this world than we take.

    Ok I can't figure out how to send a private message. But call or text me. Text is easier because I can't hear sh*t but If I don't answer I'll call back in a few minutes. 772-473-6571. My name is Dillon. I think I can help you

    How can you say no one cared when 6 people responded to your question?

    I'm sorry, I worded that the wrong way, and I didn't realize how rude it sounded until I just read it again. I guess what I meant was Eric was the only one who showed an interest in buying them

    That's what buyers forum is for.
