    turns out it was a good deal. ended up winning 2, went out there with a 5 ton trailer, because the riggers said that would work, and low and behold their 4 ton forklift wouldnt budge them. they were 6x7 2" plate sides with huge solid rollers and 4 giant motors on them. sold them outright and traded some other local scrappers there and traded them for this other machine that was 7x3x14 with 3/4 plate sides and 6 7 foot long 2" stainless shafts. i got home and started cutting the shafts out and low and behold the plate throughout the machine is all aluminum.

    Won my first auction today. 4 firefighting valves, two have ~20# of aluminum body and probably a copper-nickel alloy ball in each. The other type looks like it *might* be mostly brass. I went & looked at them but couldn't get medieval with the file to determine for sure. $27.07 incl tax. Thinking I'll most likely have to take the invoice to the yard with me... LOL
