What did you scrap?

[CrazyTom]

I had a chance to grab a burned out variable frequency drive for a 200 HP 480v motor. Quite heavy. Never opened one before.
Had some circuit boards and large capacitors. Steel buss bars.
Was disappointed to discover almost no copper but I did get a 33 lb aluminum heat sink.
