I have several electric motor-like things, they are called

If this has 400 Hz output, the aviation folks might be interested,
although 100 Hp is probably more than they need. There are places
that run really heavy 400-Hz loads, however, such as where NASA
runs air force radar dishes for tracking radars and telemetry.

Just a thought,

NASA would not buy from me, that's the problem.

Based on my most brutally honest evaluation, these units, while
almost new, have no resale potential.

They do, however, have relatively large potential to be parted out and
scrapped. Almost new size 3 contactors, breakers, copper, motors etc.
