    Who can ID these?

    Wondering if anyone can tell me what these are.


    I am thinking they are some sort of power supply, but not sure.
    Thanks for any and all input.

    They kind of look like A security camera system that would hold the vcr's. Just they should be standing upright. Can you get other photo's of them?

    I will probably know more today. They are mine now and I agree that they do look heavy. My guess is some kind of industrial equipment. Of course I am hoping they are early servers, but most likely not. I'll post up some more pics once I have a chance to get my hands on them.

    Based on the picture it is assumed this is some kind of remodeling project (new wood on top) in a industrial building. Knowing the type of business and what type of energy powered them would also be a clue.
    Give back more to this world than we take.

    Still no answer yet. I have some more pics though.
    Hopefully Billy and I will figure it out tomorrow. Looks like they are from Xerox though, which makes sense, there headquarters were nearby.

    Thank you for that!! That doesn't solve the original problem, but it sure looks like I might be able to make some money on my purchase
