What we buy
What we buy here
Older Delta Star substation units often carry a load tap changer, and the tap changer is the part that decides their future. The offer arrives with the reasoning attached, so it can go to a board or a finance team without translation.

How it works
Six steps from your yard to the money
- 01
Take pictures
The nameplate, the cabinet interior and the tank in daylight. Three photographs are usually enough to place a unit in the right class and the right price band.
- 02
Send them to us
The form on this page, a text or an email all reach the same desk. Include the city, the access and any deadline the site is working to.
- 03
Review the offer
A buyer reads the photographs, asks one or two questions and sends a written offer with the assumptions stated, so nothing changes on the day.
- 04
We schedule freight
Crane, flatbed and permits are booked around your access. You get a date and a window, and we carry the cost of getting it right.
- 05
Testing on arrival
Winding resistance, megger and turns ratio, plus oil analysis where the unit is liquid filled. The results decide the final number, and you see them.
- 06
Get paid
Payment is released on the agreed terms once the unit is received and tested, by check or ACH. No retention, no sixty-day terms.
What we handle for you
The parts sellers dread, done for you
Rigging
Crane and forklift arranged around your access, not the other way round.
Oil containment
Bunds, absorbent and disposal handled before the unit moves.
Bill of sale
A clean title document for your records, signed on collection.
PCB paperwork
Pre-1979 units get the testing and the manifest they need.

Delta Star transformers in Ohio
Delta Star built for utilities and for industry, and the two lines are different machines under similar paint. A short list of photographs covers the cabinet, the tag, the bushings and the access, and nothing else is needed at the start.
The market for used transformers is smaller than the market for new ones, and it rewards honest descriptions. A unit described honestly sells faster than one described optimistically, because the second one gets renegotiated.
What we look for on a Delta Star unit
A seller should never feel rushed into a decision, and a buyer should never need to rush one. A unit that has been disconnected for a year is not the same proposition as one that came out last week.
The best outcome is a unit that leaves the site and turns up somewhere useful, and that happens more often than people expect. A buyer who cannot say where the unit will go is a broker, and brokers add a day and a deduction.
Where the value sits
Delta Star serial numbers date a unit precisely, which is useful when the nameplate has been painted over. An offer that states what it assumes is easier to accept than one that does not, because both sides know where they stand.
A price that includes removal is a different number from one that does not, and the difference is the crane. A mixed lot is priced unit by unit, and the junk in the corner is part of the arithmetic rather than a gift.
Paperwork, insurance and the crew
A bill of sale fixes the moment risk transfers, and that moment should be when the unit leaves the pad. A release that names the serial number is the one an auditor will ask for.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy older Delta Star transformers?
A firm number needs three things: the tag, the condition and a route out of the building. We would rather lose a unit than quote a figure we cannot honour once the cabinet is open. The unit will outlast the building it serves, which is why so many of them change hands.
Service area
What if the Delta Star nameplate is missing?
Sellers inside a closure or a bankruptcy need discretion as much as speed, and both are available here. The weight on the tag is a starting point rather than a permit application, because oil weight and rigging weight are separate figures. A seller who has the serial number to hand moves through the first call in half the time.
Payment
Can you pick up a Delta Star unit this week?
We are not a marketplace and we are not an auction, so there is one buyer in the conversation and it is us. If the building changes hands at the end of the month, say so at the start and the schedule gets built backwards from that date. A buck-boost unit is almost always misapplied rather than worn out, and the diagram inside the cover explains why.
