Pictures of greenlee job box with casters added

That's a deal! Just hope it wasn't hot, I've seen a number of them disappear from job sites..

Also hope you don't regret the rubber casters, one of the guys I worked with had a Sears floor box that he loaded up, two years later he went to move it and all the casters had flats on the solid rubber tires. He had to completely unload it and replace the casters before he could move out of the place. I would have been more inclined to use solid iron-wheeled casters. Depends on the floor surface, of course.

I don't know how you always come up with these good deals. That gang box looks new and the price is just shy of $1000 in the next size up.

By the way, check the above address again, I added pictures of the Raychem self regulating heat cable that I added.

Well, I doubt that it was hot. This particular model, I think, is sold at Home Depot and it has the channels for forklift forks welded shut. I doubt that a company that has forklifts would buy this model, (any construction company has forklifts) so it is likely just a former personal Home Depot purchase. That the channels were welded shut, accidentally, made it much more difficult to insert 1/4" bolts for mounting casters.

Also, I bought it at a garage sale from a house that I can always go back and find, so, I think that they would be unlikely to implicate themselves with a hot gang box.

The $20 price, also, is indicative of clueless people not knowing much about the value of things (I would think that a thief would want to get more than that). The nice lady who sold this box to me, I think, did not think too much about this transaction, just wanted to get rid of something that was in her way.

This one is going to sit in the bushes in my backyard for many years. I will put it on some sorts of support. (such as cinderblocks) Otherwise it would just sink into the soft ground, over the years, with 500+ lbs load on the casters.

The Raychem heating cables seem to work nicely and are indeed self regulating. See pictures of them wired in on the above website. This cable was a local ebay deal, I am very happy with it and have about

Hi Guys:

I'm going through the current topics to hopefully suggest a way to tag valid RCM traffic.

Add RCM: on the beginning of the title line - BEFORE the obligatory OT, OK?

Then we can filter on that tag.

Also need to add a filter for Re: RCM: to get the reply lines.

Hang tight - keep posting.

It is in a good shape, but not new. Just not used much. There was no sorcery involved, I simply went out to drive with my 1.5 year old to look at garage sales, to let mom sleep in the morning.

Saw this box and nicely negotiated the price with a nice woman seller.

Picked up some fun stuff that morning, such as this Greenlee box, a set of frying pans and pots with thick copper bottoms, etc. (not copper plated, but with 1/4" copper plates brazed to bottoms of stainless pans and pots). I always dreamed of having such cookware with copper bottoms. They are supposed to provide good heat distribution and do not have their bottom distorted to bell shape, which is very bad on a flat electric stove.
