Posted: Sun Mar 31, 2013 2:19 pmDryers can also be a repository of loose change.
If I see one dumped somewhere and I'm in the pickup I'll grab it
for the opportunity. The motor is the most valuable part.
I won't make a single trip to the yard for one appliance.
When broke down they are "gas money" for a more lucrative load of
other things.

Posted: Fri Apr 12, 2013 8:48 pmThe last drier I scraped had lint balls inside one of the paddles inside the drum.
It happened to be the same paddle that had a clad dime and a clad penny in their with it.
The two paddles with no coins had no lint balls. [img][/img]
Anyways I always break things all the way down, and I don't sell till I ether run outta space, or I have quantity and happen to like the prices that day.
The choice pieces for me would be all the switches and controls, the wiring harness and any aluminum from the dashboard.
The motor (aluminum winding ) I don't pull the wire from, but I will break off the cast aluminum ends, knock the bushings out and add to a barrel of clean cast aluminum.
A drier won't make much, but I do it sorta like a hobbie that makes me a little money wile I'm doing something that I really enjoy.
