    1956 sterilizer unit...ever dealt with one???

    You guys ever seen one of these units before? i'm curious what the material is. its very thick and the unit itself is over 4000 lbs. i now there is some brass stainless and steel here but are the walls inside something non corrosive and exotic? pretty cool lookin unit tho. looks like a big safe.

    find a yard with one of those guns and see if they'll shoot it. Was that insulation checked for asbestos?

    Nothing of substance to add to the thread, other than to say there's a certain member here who probably doesn't much care for the thread's title!

    That would be fun to scrap. But as mentioned. There is a good chance that there is asbestos in that insulation.
