RE: [TCML] Pig upgrade

[resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have pole xmfrs that can be pulled out of their original tank.  I recase
them in a steel case 18 x 18 x 19 inches high.  I use a phenolic top for
input output.  Weight is reduced from 300 lbs to 110 lbs and you can run
any range from 3 kVA up to 20 kVA with these bullet proof beasts.
Contact me off list if interested.
