Got a load bank from GL looking for a manual, or some help.

[JimH]

I have acquired a 0-33kW load bank, that looks like it might be made by Electro Services, but it has a Libby Manufacturing tag on it. Built in April 87, It appears like it might be an early version of the Electro Services A427.

It is a LCNFM1, 6625-01-220-2619

Does anybody know anything about it, a manual would be a huge help, or anything else. Gimpy has possession of it at the moment, so pictures are sparse.

Any information that anyone has would be appreciated.

Jim and/or GimpyRob,

any word on these old load banks? Looking at a pretty clean one. This is the only post citing this particular model. 0-33 KW with variable control seems pretty ideal. Down side is the size and several states away.

Thanks,

Matt

If nothing else, it'd make a hell of a shop heater. Temps here are supposed to be single digits...

I’m in Phoenix, do they make an Air conditioner based load bank?

My toes got cold today pressure washing my truck’s floor mats.

Stay warm my friends!!!

I just saw this Load Bank sold on GP for super cheap. Hopefully it’s a runner for someone! Too far for me to take a chance.

Take care,

Matt

I got interrupted and got outbid by one bid. I was going to chase it another couple of hundred.

Happens to me all the time! I get busy at work and can’t watch the auctions. Grrrr!!!

I think I have the TM for this one. And have posted it in the TM forum. Or not?

It was you or David, I don't remember which.

The important thing is that the TM is in the TM forum.

Good. I was cleaning up files and saw the picture, then it clicked in my head, " I think I have that, but did I post it?" just another senior moment.

Any bets on how long it takes the buyer to show up here in SS??? I say 21 days post auction.

Or he's already one of us and he'll find this thread.

Or he'll be posting in the "transportation needs" thread and I'll end up picking it up for him.

But yeah, I suspect we'll be seeing it again.

Sorry @98G, I'll fess up it was me. I've been looking for a load bank for nearly 10 years. They don't get much closer to me than in Kansas. Feels weird being on the lucky side of a bid for a change. Usually I'm the one setting a max bid and getting poached by 1.

Looks like this unit will need a little tlc. I see at least 1 broken switch and a knob that's missing on the connection block.

 

[Guyfang]

Knob should be easy. Switch also. Post up some pictures and part numbers.

Agreed. I'll post some pics when i get it home.

LOL! It happens. I was going to go $505 on it, a bite at a time. Would you have gone further?

I'll probably be making a trip to Abilene some time in the next few weeks. I can grab it then and it's welcome to hang out in my barn until you get a chance to come get it.
