Need some help identifying this... thing

MorbidSteve · Jan 30, 2011

I happened to come across this ... thing, brand new. I will upload a picture so you can see what I'm talking about. It's a SkyJack item, the information listed is as follows:

Part Number - 135990AA
Inverter Input - 25.2 VDC at up to 40 Amps
Inverter Output - 120 VAC, 60 Hz
Sine Wave
Provided with integral protection against overload

Now, obviously this is an inverter, probably something industrial, but I cannot find any information on this thing on the internet. I also came across a few other items that I will be questioning about here in the near future.

Next thing up is what I have found to be an antenna for a satellite phone. I can't find many details about it or a price or anything, which is what I'm really looking for.

It says

Model SAF4070-IG
Passive Iridium Active L1 GPS Antenna

Okay, so what the heck? Anyone use one of these? What does it do and is it worth anything to me or should I just throw it away?

Lastly, I have a NAL Research Corporation 9601-DGS, which I have found is some type of satellite tracker.... Here are the pics on that, does anyone have any info?

Thanks for your help guys!

Skyjack makes industrial lifts. The inverter is probably on the lift to provide AC for workers to connect lights. You would probably have to contact Skyjack to get more details.

The antenna and satellite work together to allow GPS tracking. Skyjack probably provides this equipment for their lifts to allow tracking of the units.

Looks like you came across spare parts for a Skyjack lift. Either that, or this is secret spy equipment you are not supposed to have.

Lol. I bet the latter of the two! But maybe I am supposed to have them? Do you think they are worth any money??

To the right buyer MAYBE, however that looks to be a niche product

MorbidSteve · Jan 30, 2011

How would you suggest I go about finding the right buyer? I haven't a clue where to even look...

Thanks for your help!

Ebay would be your best bet as you get the largest exposure there. Even then I'm not altogether sure you could find a buyer, you would need to find a buyer who is in need of your specific parts and pieces and to me at least both of your parts are non-essential and thus aren't parts to be replaced when broken.

Hmm, so essentially they're probably all garbage and worthless? Except if the stars align

Well, here's some food for my thought...

has the 9601 listed with an MSRP of 1105$.... Holy cow! Now I just need to find out where to sell these things!

mnewsham · Jan 30, 2011

Number 113,114, or 116?

finding a buyer is your next step and you might want to read up on it too.

Yeah I have already taken a look at that. I need to find someone to buy these!

has the SAF4070-IG listed at $300! Dang! I'm on the game for a buyer now

BoomerD · Jan 30, 2011

I suspect that before you could sell them, you'd need to be able to test them...it's unlikely anyone would be willing to pay good money for "untested" parts like that.

MorbidSteve · Jan 30, 2011

Well, the SAF4070 is new in the package. I am able to test that myself. The other one, well, I don't have the stuff to program it and whatnot so I really couldn't test it

ask for 300 and sell it AS-IS

MorbidSteve · Jan 30, 2011

Yea, but where??

mnewsham · Jan 30, 2011

Ebay gets the most traffic but you have a fairly niche product so Ebay might work but it might not, i doubt you will find a buyer here on FS/FT, could try contacting the manufacturer to see if they have a buy back program (doubt it but might be worth a shot)

My bet is this whole setup is hot and the cops are closing in on you as we speak. The guy who really stole it is haulin' ass cross country with the rest of the skyjack. He just had to ditch the GPS before they could find him, and the power inverter just fell off in the process.

Haha wouldn't that be humorous. They actually weren't necessarily together when found. I think they are completely separate one another.

We... shall... see!

MorbidSteve · Jan 31, 2011

Well I have found a few of the SAF4070-IGs and the 9601-DGSs... I need to get rid of them! PS These were all acquired legally.

mnewsham · Jan 31, 2011

A few? As in 5+?
