only copper is in the transformer, i bet its a few pounds worth, but have fun getting it out. Be sure to ground out that capacitor or itll knock you on your ass

The main part of the weight in a microwave transformer is the ferrite core the wire is wrapped around. I say pass, even for what copper's going for it's not worth the hassle.
