Electric motors

I was wondering what different yards will take along with their electric motors? I know that most yards will take motors and transformers, but what else have people thrown in with them? thanks

I've thrown in inductors, alternators, broken solenoids, ribbon cables. I guess you could bring CRT yokes (but thats not a good idea). I've sold power supplies from computers at motor price before (but i don't how). Oh, and of course Magnetrons out of microwave ovens. They should take anything that has 20% copper by weight!
