Nice, saw some heavy equipment like that up at the mine by Martinez Cabin. Having to use 4wd to get there I was wondering how they got that stuff out there. Cool find.

It appears to be - the slip rings for the rotor are probably on the back side away from the camera.

Have a gander at this old beast, we have two of them. Video quality isn't the best.
