Trailer park/Campground electrical hookups.

[pjost]

Bought 20 electrical hookups out of an old trailer court. Shouldn't have paid for them but the old guy looked like he could use the $20. So $1/ea. plus some other riff raff. Old mailboxes, fence posts etc.






10 1/2 inch nuts down the side of the base are brass.




Once you get the base and all the covers off, the box looks something like this:

Front:



Back:



All disassembled, ended up with 46lbs lite iron/sheet metal, about 2lbs of aluminum + a pound or so of aluminum wire, pound of brass, a 110 outlet, 2 220 outlets, 3 breakers, and a SS ring that holds the glas window on. Maybe 1/2 lb. of insulated and #2 tinned copper. A little disappointed in the copper content. Oh well, can't win 'em all.

Is that the yeild for each hook-up?

[pjost]

Yes, so X 20. Figured I got about $5-6 out of each unit = $100 (minus the $20 paid) Not bad, but labor intensive as there are lots of screws.

Dont forget the silver comtacts in the breakers if you wish to get them

Some profity is better than a loss...

If you haven't, check some of the parts you have in the alum pile with a grinder. I think the J shaped pieces and the piece laying across the top may well be tinned copper also.
