Free Heatsinks

Just pay the shipping

I took an old audio amplifier apart and sold the transistors on eBay. But I can't sell the heatsinks for $1.oo so I'm giving them away. Just pay the postage. There are 12 of them. They were dissipating heat for 4 150watt power transistors. Black Anodized Aluminum Heat Sinks, TO-3. Measuring 7 1/2 x 4 x 1 3/4 inches The metal is 1/8 inch thick. Each one provides 70 square inches of metal. Each Heat Sink has holes for mounting 4 Power Transistors TO-3 sized, holes not threaded. Can be drilled to accept many other devices. These Sinks are used and still have some Heat Sink compound where transistors were mounted. You can calculate the postage here. My Area Code in Alabama is 35805. If you are out of the USA then use the Pull-Down menu at the top of the page to select your country. Shipping weight for 1 or 2 heatsinks will be 2 pounds. http://postcalc.usps.gov/

Woof; I will take all of them that you can't get rid of otherwise. One transaction. I will email you soon or maybe get on irc to give me your address so I can send you the cash for the shipping. Cheers. TomW "Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned."--Mark Twain

Shipping Weight for all of them would be almost 10 pounds. I'll find you on IRC and make the deal. W o o f -={( [ Parent ]

OK ,  they have been shipped in a box for a case of 24 Budweisers. Don't get to excited when it arrives . . . W o o f -={( [ Parent ]

I shipped a bunch of stuff in an inside out Budweiser box to a guy I work with who was in the reserves and got sent to Afganistan.  You should have heard the comments I got back.  I didn't know Afganistan was a 'dry' country.  Rich 'A Joule saved is a Joule made' [ Parent ]

"You should have heard the comments I got back.  I didn't know Afganistan was a 'dry' country." Well, from what those part-time airplane drivers did I think it may be like 'Small Town South'. This is where 'Church A' doesn't recognize 'Church B' and the members of both churches don't recognize each other passing in the beer joint.

We must repect other peoples cultures...if they began allowing beer into the country, the locals might get too drunk to harvest the opium poppies. "These are my principles. But if you don't like them, I have others." -Groucho Marx [ Parent ]

It's interesting that you can't mail a box that is still labeled to contain beer. Even if the text is all marked over with a Sharpie. I had to take it back and put masking tape over all of the beers on the box before they would accept it. I've been mailing stuff for a long time and I didn't know that. W o o f -={(

I had them send me home once to cover a company name on the side of the box, because it wasn't me. I wonder if it can't say "ULINE" on the bottom of the box.  LOL. G- [ Parent ]

hi... I'd be interested in getting as many as you'll let me have :)   Or maybe as many as fit in a USPS flat-rate box @ $8.95 shipping.  Whatever works for you.  Thanks,  Russ k1hop (at) yahoo (dot) com
