    what would this be from?

    i was watching a video and this guy got a transformer from a auction i was wandering is it from a power pole or one of those square things in appartment complexes that say high voltage? the ones one the poles are round not square. it had 66lbs of copper how much would that thing weigh? think i could haul that on a hand truck? how much would a good hand truck cost that has a good weight capacity best place to get one?

    I scrapped a rectifier that powered a large phone system back in 2016. It had 3 transformers in it. The weights were 263 pounds, 65 pounds and 50 pounds. I got 91 pounds of #1 copper from all 3 transformers.
