    I misread this as “scraped out” and was concerned that the innards would somehow be similar to that of a soft serve ice cream machine. That is to say, extremely gross.

      It went on with a bunch of other steel. Probably 3lbs of aluminum. Not much wiring. The compressor and stuff was fairly heavy. I’m not sure how much copper it is involved with that.

      That big peace in the middle was super heavy. All steel and a bunch of screws.

      It also had a bunch of solonoids, so if you took time to split them apart, you’d a bit more.

      I just took it apart. The boss takes it in. He bought a wire stripping machine and in 2 days, we stripped 500 pounds. About 3hr/day, 4 guys.
