Microwaves: transformer vs inverter models. Comparing scrap value. Why I don't pass up any models!!

Hello Scrappers and planet lovers. In this video, I open a microwave with an inverter and compare it in scrap value with other transformer models. I will show you how to safely and effectively identify and separate the metals in order to help maximize your profit and divert as much of the material away from the landfill as possible.

Final breakdown of inverter model: tin 21.4lb ($ 2.14), 12oz #2 copper ($3.23), 9 oz aluminum ($0.25)

I’ve been doing so much waste over the years thanks for the knowledge

Great episode, tinman!

i went to scrap yard yesterday, and got almost 100.00, or copper, brass and some aluminum. not too bad. great yard too. they weigh in in front of u! Ontario Canada.AND THEN u go to the atm, and get ur cash, via barcodes! so im def on a roll, to find more scrap. construction sites, dumpsters, homes as I ride my bike.

If it wasn't for you, I would've let a lot of copper and brass slip through my fingers. And a trace amount of silver as well. I dug deeper and found some change in the proverbial cushions.

Great video as always. One quick question. Maybe it's regional, but isn't it worth upgrading the 40% wire to 60% wire? I know you did a video on upgrading different wire but can't seem to find it. I know it isn't worth stripping it all the way down, but upgrading should pay more than the weight loss of the outer coating. Maybe it just works out better in the states.

Thanks for all your clear explanations.

as always,good show ! is it possible to use heat, i.e. a propane torch to melt the silver dots off the components ? curious, thanks !

Hmm I’ve only found the heavy transformer model. Most are aluminum transformers but that’s fine. They’re still shred or aluminum worthy. I want the magnetron magnets, the cord, and turntable motor copper, fan motor copper, and silver mylar. Are the inverters newer models? I’d still scrap them they’re great either way.

Is it true that most microwaves that stop working only need a simple fuse

Why dont use a drill its quicker😊
