Thermite,
I will take a look a your suggestion. The cost could be quite reasonable for all the pieces parts given I would need some type of 3 Phase overload either way.
By the way you Combat Engineer types were nice to have around.
Bob
Thanks!
"Most days.." it was shelter that didn't leak TOO damned badly. Water that tasted NASTY of chlorine.. but wuddn' kill yah. Ugly drainage, bridges, and culverts that didn't fail. Roads that were hell wet season or dry.. berms.. revetments.. but all got their job
done...
But ever' now and then?
Well... "Sharp point of the spear" needs their way forward opened-up.
Ahead of them?
No point in taking prisoners.
Survivors might only rat out that Combat Engineers in the advance don't DO that shit any more than close air support carries handcuffs or an 8-inch SP HOW beehive round issues parking tickets!
MOST, not all, of even the "used" goods you are going to need will still work OK, so long as they look "clean" in the fotos.
Wore-out generally, burnt-out especially, tend to cover themselves in a nasty film of particulate smut and/or vapourized Phenolic and crumbling residue at edges that's "PFO"
(Pretty F******g Obvious). Cannot easly warsh that type of smut off. Smart recyclers don't even try.
I'd avoid "DIN RAIL" mount goods like a bad rash, even though short sections of rail are easily had, though.
Most DIN goods are too narrow for more than "one time" use. Terminals, barriers around them, and rail mounting ears bust off all too often, and the folks yanking them don't give a damn.
