Anyone interested in an Isolation transformer (Williams)
« on: June 19, 2005, 03:36:36 pm »
I don't go to the post office much so when I saw the flat rate packages (up to 60 lbs) for ~$8 I was excited.  Finally, now I can sell those old heavy isolation transformers sitting on my shelf for a few bucks.

I have two right now.  One came out of a Taito Qix cab and the other is a Williams transformer out of my former Joust cocktail.  The Williams still has all of the standard connectors, the Qix only has one standard connector and some single wires.

I'm thinking $11 (shipping included) for the Qix one and

$17 (shipping included) for the Williams.  Let me know if anyone is interested and I'll post pics.

Thanks,
Todd

Be careful throwing it in the flat rate $7.70 box.  Be sure you double-box it (put it in a smaller brown box then put it in the flat rate box) otherwise it WILL fall out of the flat rate box before it gets to the destination. Those flat rate boxes are not strong enough to hold with the sharp corners/etc..

Thanks MonitorGuru.  Funny how they say you can ship up to 60 lbs but then the box won't hold that much  :)

If you formed a piece of concrete to exactly fit the box, it would hold it. But then it has equal pressure against all 6 sides.  Something heavy and much smaller than the box (iron core transformer) will roll and poke holes no matter what type of packing you use (other than concrete that is :) )
