    I don't have any idea. Have you done a google search on the model number for an owners manual? That's where I would start. For scraping info take the time to read the sticky threads and spend time reading the old threads you will find it very helpful.

    We also like it when a new member does an introduction thread, tell us a little about yourself, what scraping you do and your experience. Mike

    It's going to have either one or multiple transformers in it, definitely some copper wire, maybe copper bus bar, maybe some aluminum heat sinks, maybe some mid grade circuit boards. It's hard to say because there are so many different kinds but it's basically a power supply.

    have you contacted a company like say directmedparts.com or similar? You might be surprised...they might want to buy your unit for MOST than SCRAP VALUE...even for parts. I get some medical equip (like MRI monitors) that sell for FAR FAR above scrap...last one I got I sold for like $150 UNTESTED. This being a MRI MACHINE power unit might be worth your time to make a couple of calls.

    Make a couple of calls before hacking into it....med equip sells for a F TON of money...even used and for refurbishment.
