This is all from a telephone company, they have technical assistance contracts with their clients and they replace parts regularly so that they don't have problems.
Most things are in perfect working order.

These batteries are fine, I have four of these, and many smaller ones (4A/h and 7A/h), selected from the trash bin with a multimeter.

4.700uF 450V caps on big copper rails, with big bleeder resistors (those green thinks that look like fuses).

General view of the caps.

Ottawa is a GREAT town for dumpster diving.

I have no shame. And...the price is always right.

I wonder what people would think, seeing some guy in a BMW drive up to dumptser..and dive right in.

time for my ottawa 'dot com' industrial downsizing story!

My brother in law used to work for a company that made very, very high energy, extreme grade power supplies for laser systems.

When the company went down...they threw out ....a bunch of Plitron Toridial transformers, multi tap, all in the 1500-2000 VA range. All high voltage. The kinds of voltages that are perfect for tube amps.


One ENTIRE FULL dumpster of BRAND NEW, IN THE BOX units.

I never found out about it until too late. Had to be at least a $1/4M in trannies in that dumpster. True story, I got it directly from the guy who's job it was to fill that dumpster. My Brother in law, the laser tech.

I wonder who got them?

Those look great! It's always nice to pick up something that you have an immediate use for.

Heres a pic that includes a few dumpster items, 1uF 20kV Kondensator (cap)- the one with the really big insulators, 13uF 6.8kV cap, and a large current transformer. The curent transformer is the orange thing in front of the 20kV cap and to the right of the 13uF cap. From VOA Bethany.
