I am always on the lookout for these, for obvious reasons. Well, the
receptacles, anyway.

I actually have a few new marine grade (watertight) 480 VAC
receptacle/plug/box sets I need to sell or trade. Yes, I could use
them, put the hardware is just different enough that the set must use
the watertight boxes, and not regular boxes. I could use watertight
boxes anyway, but I do not want to have a pierside IBM installation.
