At least you would be hard pressed to saturate the core!
Back around 1965, I went to the L.A. Dept. of Water and Power surplus
yard with some friends and we bought a bunch of surplus pole pigs.
The oil (PCB?) had been removed and they were selling them for the
scrap value, which was based on the copper price. I think I paid
something like $10-15 for a 3 kVA transformer. W6OSU (later W6ET,
SK) got a 5 kVA model for an amp he was building with a pair of
4-1000s. One non-ham picked one up to rewind to make an arc welder.
They let us leave the cases behind.
Bob, N7XY
