I'm sure they have it at the shipyard.
But all the commercial/light industrial in Langford seems to be 208.

5k minimum start bid??
seems a bit steep to start with...but then I'm no auction aficionado either...

It seems at first blush to be a good unit with lots of bits included but it is an oddball. Too big for hobbyists especially power wise and there isn't a lot of industry near by. It seems like it should go for under 2k and be a screaming deal for the one person that wants it.
But what do I know ?

I have seen several instances of 575V equipment nearby recently, but for most of us that would imply a motor replacement. But I think I also saw a 600 to 200 (208??) transformer advertised, and an wondering if that could be made to work in these cases, or if it's a bit outside the range of the fudge factor? (Not that I need or have room for any of that stuff!)
This one?

Yeah, coulda been. But like I said, no need, no room!
In any case, I'm not certain if 240V (what I see in my neighborhood) to 600V+ would be beyond the range of the 575V specified without significant adjustments. Don't think I'd want to try removing turns in that transformer, and some intermediate one to drop 240 to closer to 200 (or something at the other end, which could use smaller wire?) adds complexity/cost/hassle.
