This is a rotor. This is the spinning part of an electric motor. The non-spinning part is called a stator. The rotor is suspended inside the stator on ball bearings.

​@@zeroshepard9513if that is what he could be paid for it, he should refuse to do the work unless he's paid more. But he won't, because there are plenty of other people with the same skills who will be eager to replace him, and who won't care to be paid more. Supply and demand. If there's a large supply of the necessary labor, the price goes down. Conversely, let's say he really is extremely skilled, and there's no other labor to replace him, so he sets extremely high prices. Once again, supply and demand. Extremely high prices will reduce demand, because people don't have the supply of money necessary to pay it. So again, prices go down. You'll find that as long as the government isn't interfering, people will usually get paid the most they possibly can.

That's because typically you don't want to reuse the copper in this type of application, they do it because they have no choice but the resulting part will not be close to New spec.

[@princetchalla2441]

I'm kind of conflicted on this as well. Most metal just gets recycled and resold then reused, but definitely not all of it. Using a rust removing bath like that does work but if you got a short in between the insulation it doesn't matter how good the metal is it will just fail again. That being said it looks like he tested the insulation, and I know many car parts are just rebuilt and never remanufactured after certain years so I'm on the fence as to whether this is worth the time and effort anywhere you can just buy parts to new specs. Maybe hour by hour this is cheaper but I don't know if it's worth the time spent doing by most people.
