Most amazing dumpster dive ever!!!! - Page 4

I'd appreciate it if I didn't have to manually censor those who try and get around it. There's no need for that.

Another for better scale. Does anybody nave a ballpark for what the amperage rating is? Unfortunately the markings are insanely ambiguous and cryptic. My guess is ~3-5 based on size (making it 500VA) but this is purely a guess. I am sure it will at least be able to power a couple of chips!

Gotta confess to my own dumpster diving. Drove up to a bunch of dumpsters in shopping centers in my BMW looking for boxes to for the "outer" box in a few of my recent equipment sales on Ebay for double boxing items that are sold. Fryes, Best Buy, but best boxes are in the aisles at Home Depot. No dumpster required.

Dumpsters around you guys are apparently much better equipped!

Looking at the overall size, description and lugs I would estimate closer to 1200VA

I have a 250VA tranny which is nearly that size, man

Why do you say so?
I'm looking for a nice, shiny Jeff Rowland enclosure and I can't find anything.

Yep..dumpster diving is one of the few things in life that I am truly lucky with. Call me odd, but, it's a pretty good 'rush' when I find something really cool. The people that laugh at me are missing out!

congrats to all on thier wonderful finds

They are the same guys filled with envy when they see the final product.

Yikes! I hope it is a little more than that. If not, at least I will have a few more interesting pictures of a flaming transformer to post!

Find out what that transformer weighs... then compare to others with similar output voltages...
