We pulled 147 pounds of #1 bright and shiny out of this really old pole transformer behind my house years ago and made almost $600 off of it. It was flat thick and we burnt it for 3 days to remove the black tar stuff from it. You should have saw us picking it up on top of a 85 big red 3 wheeler and walking next to it throttling slowly up the hill to my house. This thing was under a legit mountain of scrap people have been dumping for 100 years now a for real gold mine.

I was waiting for the bombshell to hit you bro. I did that kind of electrical work for years and I know that about 85% of those transformers are made out of aluminum with copper bus bars sometimes they have all aluminum in them. This keeps the cost down. Also aluminum will radiates heat off a lot faster than copper will.

The aluminium isn't a loss, it's a gain, being more valuable than steel. Being just spacers for air cooling, they could have been fibreglass worth nothing. No way they would've wasted copper for spacers. Only loss is time to remove them. How do you get good money with all the plastic on?
