Interesting find of the day

Dead Goat
Anyone else find something out of the ordinary?

I started gutting a fairly old TIG welder today, which is also somewhat dead.

Damn big capacitors in that thing. :shocked:

But I guess that's what you get from 1960's technology.
A replacement made today could have double the capacity, but occupy only a small fraction of the volume.

500V caps, and if I recall correctly, they were 53uF. Big suckers, maybe 10" long x 1" x 3".


Possible replacement?
30mm diameter x 30mm height.
More research is needed, I'm sure.

Not if it's already dead.

I'll try some. I've never had goat before.

A couple of years ago, I found a dead goat on a job I was on. It was a little guy, and not in as good a shape as yours was.

Goat is tasty. But not rancid, bloated goat.
