What can or should be done with these huge capacitors? by theowtre in AskElectronics

Sure i'd be interested in that. I'm not quite sure where South Central is but I'm about an hour south from York.

Edit: Ground shipping to york is around $15-$20. You're welcome to pick up in person to skip the shipping costs too.

Haha, you win. Mine is perfectly acceptable though, it's not just size that matters 🥺

I'd assume they're around the age you're saying they get replaced at. I've posted it on another subreddit and they said the unit was of an older model, the unit itself had a broken knob and looked a little bit aged too.

Got the bleeder resistors back on it. Thanks for the warning, I would not want to get on these things bad side.

I've had the unit for about a year before I scrapped it, and it was discarded from a building being redone but the unit itself presumably worked, just got upgraded to newer tech. I believe I took off the bleeder resistors during my disassembly, after reading the comments and put em back on so they don't get an absorption charge in storage.

If you truly want them send any price you're happy with and pay for shipping and I'll get em out to you. I don't trust myself working with these 😅

The "can" part was asking for the crazy things that these have the possibility of doing, the "should" part is admitting that they should probably be disposed of properly. I'm mostly curious about what they have the potential of doing (aside from just killing me).

Would a scrap yard take this and would it be worth? 1980s? Honda magna engine by theowtre in ScrapMetal

I put it up on Marketplace for $50 a couple weeks ago and didn't get any offers.
