Regardless of whether they are low grade or high grade I strip them myself, the nearest electronics buyer said after I strip the boards they all become the same grade and are worth only $0.10/lb which at that price I might as well throw them in with my light iron loads which pays $0.07-$0.08/lb and that is close enough to $0.10 to keep them laying around. The question is if I can make more truly stripping them myself or not, exp if the value of the stripped board itself goes way down if I am the one stripping them.
I unwind these things myself, hundreds a a time they are not too complicated to strip and provide bare copper wire I believe unvarnished too:
These however are too hard to strip and I heard they can be thrown in my electric motor scrap bucket is that true?
Again I have tons of these saved up I never knew how to strip them, they can be scrapped as electric motors right??
Then there are these things found in TVs and such, can these be scrapped as electric motors as well? Is there copper inside?
Another one of those mystery units on the right they remind me of an ignition coil for a gas engine, and something similar on the left?
