6200.800A uses?
This is a bit of an odd question, but I've got (2) brand new (still in the sealed bag) of the 6200.800A tranformer pucks. I purchased them years ago when I had 6200 streams. I've tried to sell them without anyone showing interest.
It would seem a shame to simply throw these away. Are there any uses for these? Are they compatible with any of the newer pumps? Thanks Roger.

They are not compatible with any newer pumps, the main issue is that with the age of these pumps very few are still running and the power supplies almost never failed as they were a very old fashioned copper coil and very little could go wrong. The main market would be someone who has an older 6000 and with this transformer, it would become a 6100, the 6100 and 6200 coils were both 19V AC but the 6200 coil could deliver 80W vs 50W for the 6100 coil. It is a lot of copper inside, at the very least I would get them to a metal recycler as they are probably worth a few dollars even as scrap copper.
