#0 sourceSo I’m sitting in the office one day and I get a phone call. It’s a guy trying to get rid of a power transformer.
“I need to pick your brain,” he says.
“Go ahead, there ain’t much left to pick these days.”
“Where can I dispose of a transformer?”
“Why?”
I have a 34.5kV Substation transformer just shy of 50 tons (98,800 pounds weight) we have not been able to sell it and the boss wants it out of here.
So I ask, “You’re talking about a big transformer?”
“Yeah, I need to get it off the site. I don’t know who will take it.”
I said, “Let me get back to you in a few minutes, I need to call my boss.” My boss will take anything that is free.
So I called the boss and told him what was falling into our laps and got his approval.
I called the guy back. “Here’s the deal,” I said. “We’ll take it off your hands if you drop it off.”
3 trucks show up, 1 truck with the transformer and 2 trucks with the crain.
"WOW". They wanted to get rid if it real bad.
