ATM Trash compactor parts

["Matt Considine" <matt@considine.net>]

I recently had the opportunity to take apart a household trash 
compactor (~12 years old, GE).  There were a number of parts that 
might be useful (e.g. 2  needle bearings) to someone, so I thought 
I'd post the parts list/schematics that were inside the unit.  The 
following

is a 4 page fax of the sheets (you can view it with the Imaging 
application under Windows | Accessories, for example).

It seems that washing machine parts get used in ATMing, but I had 
never heard of anyone gutting a compactor.  Hope this is useful.
