    Sirscrapalot's small haul of scrap for today.

    As most of you know, I generally mess with ewaste. It's been awhile since I posted up any pictures, etc of my regular scrap hauls. Most also know my wife works for a hotel down here on the sandbar, an yesterday she tipped me off to some stuff being tossed out. After obtaining permission from the big boss, I went an removed the stuff from the dumpster on site they had for the project.

    Now I could be wrong, but this stuff is electrical boxes for the elevator they just replaced. Two were boxes, and the other is the motor I believe. Not sure why the elevator guys tossed it out, as they took the big stuff with them.

    Anyhow, below is the photos. To me it's just scrap, perhaps some of you smart people can tell me what kind of goodies are in here. I of course know about the wire, an copper. There were a bunch of fuses/switches/relays ?



    Feel free to tell me what you know of the stuff, and any thing that might be more valuable then scrap, or of course contain any goodies like gold, silver, etc. All I know is the obvious stuff, and the two boxes are heavier then all git out. Oddly the smaller one was heavier then the tall one. Tall one was full of stuff, short one wasn't.

    On to the photos..an yes, some aren't very good, as it was dark out, and my phone started to die. lol. Stupid phone!

















    There ya go, let me know what you guys know about this stuff, as I'm not one who generally goes around messing with elevators, electrical boxes, etc.

    For those curious, the things on the ground are from Zap Supply, and the numbers on them are AHTB3A120VAC it also says Coil 120VAC. I looked at their site, an I believe this is what they are..Power Relays Magnecraft power relays. I'm just going by the pic there on the site. So please let me know if I'm wrong. There is also a pdf on there with the item specs, but it's all gibberish to me.

    As always, I thank all for their info, and help.
