These are incredible - and still so shiny. They must weigh an absolute ton... not surprised they were left in situ.

If they don't have PCB's they will say "NON PCB" if they don't have that marking. . . .then don't drink the contents :P

As stated, filled with PCB oils. If one of those was opened, it would require a massive cleanup. How careless to leave something so deadly behind... I wouldn't have even gone in the room once I saw that...

Looking at those and the new safety symbol they are mid 80's early 90's in age and do not contain PCB;S.
