While back I shared this little story but now I wanted to try to put pictures with it. I had gone down to the neighbors trucking outfit, as I pulled up one of the drivers said hey go check out what's on my trailer. When I went over to his truck he had the lowbed on with two big allis chalmers transformers on it. So we snagged the name plates off them and a gauge with AC on it.

| Yea that would have been something. Sad thing is you know whatever was put in to replace them isn't going to last half as long |

They look like they are oil cooled, and quite likely have PCB in the oil. I helped remove some leaking ones, with PCB in them, from a factory. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

And you DON'T want anything with PCB in it setting around ! If the EPA found em settin around, they would add your property to a super--fund clean up list. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Dusty and Tuck are right! You don't want anything around with PCB oil in it! Take it from someone that works for the Power Co. We have some placards on some of our substation equipment. Little rectangular signs that say "Siemens-Allis" on them. Next time I'm in a substation, I'll havta' take a pic! ------------- 39'RC, 43'WC, 48'B, 49'G, 50'WF, 65 Big 10, 67'B-110, 75'716H, 2-620's, & a Motorhead wife |

| These had just come from someplace that drained the oil out, before going to scrap yard. But I hear what your saying |
