A/C adapters

Postby AGgressive Metal » Tue Sep 23, 2014 5:58 pm

The yard here in Portland pays $0.20 a pound for adapters. The yard back in Cincinnati paid the same, though it lumps them in with "electric motors. I just started this thread so that hopefully no one is throwing these out when they clean up their insulated wire.

Adapters; the black box dangling from your laptop or printer. The transformers I call "motors".
