Comes with original VIR cable….

Busbar chamber has had the busbar robbed before I got there… and all those bags behind also contain switchgear.

I reckon he wants the older series to that. Still good to be able to get it to someone who can use/display it though. As you say, it was going to go to a very good home previously.

I did want to save these from a recent job but they were confiscated by the asbestos police. I was particularly interested in the right hand one with an enclosure design I've not come across before. The wiring here is old and it was clear these were both second hand when they were installed here.

I've probably got a load of MEM and Bill stuff hiding here if you are still in need I'll have a dig about.

No worries.

I found some photos of it all in situ before I pulled it out.

This was all buried in a void that was a big stately home, but had been changed to apartments back in the 80’s. I was working in one of the properties and found the void lifting a floorboard.

Stripped the whole lot out foc for the customer. He didn’t want it.

Yeah mate. It’s all disassembled… a bag of big bushes, hopefully still all there.

Like I said, the copper busbar got robbed from it years ago… possibly when the house was broken up into apartments.
