[TCML] antique (HV relay / transfer switch for sale

[Gomez Addams <gomez@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm getting rid of more high voltage parts, some vintage, rare, odd- 
ball, or just plain mysteries.  My garage and workshop are so full of  
parts, I have no room to build new projects! (plus, I am unemployed,  
and need to raise money)

---

This is an old high voltage relay or transfer switch - probably  
classifiable as an antique based on its construction style.  The  
manufacturer appears to be out of business.

The moving transfer / contact bar is electrically joined, the four  
insulator posts are isolated from each other.  Could be connected for  
SPDT operation, or connected to two separate circuits interlocked from  
each other. (when one  is on, the other is off).  Cannot be connected  
as DPDT due to the transfer bar being electrically contiguous.

Coil is labeled for 230 VAC 60 Hz operation.

a small metal nameplate (riveted to base) states:

	TYPE 6225-26
	Price Elec. Corp
	Frederick, MD, USA

Stenciled on one end of the base is the number 7331, which may be a  
serial number.

The connection insulators are glazed porcelain, possibly steatite- 
based, 4.5 inches tall, about 1.5 inches across the bases, about 5/8  
across the tops, and include the original tall "acorn" nuts

Contacts appear to be nickel-silver and are 3/8 inch diameter, are  
slightly tarnished, but show NO arc pitting or even signs of use.

Base is phenolic composite (paper or cotton) and measures 3-7/8" x  
7.5" x 1/4" thick.  Base is drilled with three mounting holes  
approximately 1/8" diameter.

Swing arm insulator material appears to be micalex or vulcanized  
cellulose material (the arc-resistant stuff often found in switchgear).

Unit is designed to be mounted with the base vertical (insulators  
projecting horizontally from mounting surface) such that gravity (and  
two soft springs) will return the contacts to the de-energized position.

Beautifully made, pristine condition, freshly cleaned, and in perfect  
working order.

Weight is probably about 5 pounds.  Unit will be very carefully  
packed.  I've been selling things on eBay for many years and have  
never yet had anything arrive damaged.

Best offer over $50, plus shipping, plus insurance (I will not ship  
anything without insuring it for the full purchase price).  I will  
wait one week for offers.

Due to Pay Pal raising their seller fees several times over the past  
decade, I now accept PayPal ONLY if the buyer pays PayPal's service  
fee.  Otherwise, you can mail me a personal check (you'll have to wait  
for it to clear BOTH banks) or a name-brand (ie; Western Union,  
American Express, etc) or U.S. Postal money order.  No cashier's  
checks, counter checks, temporary checks, 3rd-party checks or similar  
shenanigans - please don't ask.

Serious inquiries only, please.

regards,
 - Bill Lemieux
