Hi..Exactly....I have stripped one and will be taking it back to the scrap metal depot tomorrow to weigh the alloy content ..That will determine his asking price ...I presume the transformers may have some copper in them but if I can get the housing/reflector /E27 socket and even the bulbs at a price above alloy scrap .......I will be on a winner and so will they....The alternative for them is that they just get crushed whereas I pay cash and they are gone and not lying around ...I am buying CFL bulbs (most new) from a charity shop for 50c to $1 each every week and if I do use these in the next Tomato season I will have proper housings for them ...Regards Ron
