[Amps] 3CX-3000A7 at 144

[Alek Petkovic]

I've got a couple of 50Hz, 7.5V @ 53A, CT trannies here, from broadcast 
transmitters which ran the 3CX2500A3.

The gentleman looking for one, would be welcome to one of them for free.

Trouble is, that I'm in Western Australia and the shipping, to anywhere, 
would cost an arm and a leg.
