Someone make me offer, I'm about to take the generator to a scrap yard while scrap copper is still high.

Don't scrap it. You only get about $3 per pound for clean copper. I would pay twice the copper value for it but I cannot come get it. (2000 mile round trip).

You might try donating it to a local Tech-school. You could then take the fair-market value as a tax right off :-)
