I have 7 of these large super heavy rectifiers that they are scraping at work. Ive pulled one out to attempt to scrap it. they are probably 100# +.
What should I expect to sell it as at the yard? I do not have the time or resources to pull all the coils of copper off. There are 6 large coils on each of these.

Scrap iron is probably around $.06 to to $.08 per lb. I would pull any and all copper from it if possible.

You need to take one to the yard and find out from them. All yards are different.

Can you post a picture? There are a couple of members in your area that might be interested in buying them from you and paying more than the scrap yard because they will separate the metals providing a larger return. Some larger ones contain other non ferrous metals beyond copper and might contain a mercury switch.
Give back more to this world than we take.

I am attempting to post a pic, but the system wont let me... I have a decent amount of scrap here that someone could tear down and make some good money, but I just dont have the time to do it, and I have to remove it from the building by next week.

Its probably going to be “electric motor or copper transformer” classification. Probably $.10 to $.15 per lb is my guess. Take the time to get the copper out if you can......

Transformer at .04 a pound where I live.
If you don't have time to scrap them put them on craigs list and be done with it.

Nice Coils.
I'd figure out how the Iron core is stacked around the coils. Undoing those bolts might let the whole thing fall apart.
The I & E would be just sheet metal afterwards though.
Or use a carpenters Chisle, or a angle grinder with a cutoff disc on it, to cut thru the sides of one end of the coil and then use a hammer & punch to push the coil out.
At least that way you still get HMS price for the Iron.
