Default Bus bars

Here are my newly found bus bars . I personnaly took them out of a power transformer being dismantled for scrap and recycling . The weight is 8 lbs of pure copper . ... They will be incorporated in the generator / battery set up in the radio box . They are resting on a church pew that i salvaged from a church being torn down . Recycling before it was in fashion .
