Transformers that are in-stock AND a listed price? Thank you @Maddoxxfmr

electrician doing a step-up transformer install in our shop said the lead times are too long for transformers right now; we would have to wait 4-6 weeks.

I showed him @Maddoxxfmr and how they had the step-up we needed in stock, with a 3-day lead time.

He said: "fuck yeah, buy it right now and we'll start next week"
