Yard sale find
I was out and about today not really looking for yard sales per say but on the way back toward I stopped by one and found a used Coleman 800w (1600w peak) inverter in the case with battery clamps for $10. They let me take it to the van to try it out (far out of their sight..) but of course upon testing it and finding it working, I went back and paid for it.
It seems they let water get into the case and the screws rusted badly and mucked up the inside if the inverter and my have dissolved the glue around the transformers but it still works. I cleaned it out carefully with a dry q-tip as best I could and changed out the 3 fuses located inside. I don’t think I’ll need an 800w inverter very often but its good to have on hand anyway for the price.
