Jeff, the power-pole is tywrap'ed horizontally to a roof truss about eight feet above the drop ceiling. This puts it at the level of the 8' fluorescent light fixtures (with lamps) above the ceiling that don't work.

It looks like the 3rd row of blocks, the 66M's that don't line up were added by someone else. There are no spools in that row and the original installer may have left the space for expansion and someone else came along and slapped a 66M block and tie cable into the space. It's the only set of blocks that are top fed. It also looks like the 66M blocks undderneath the B blocks don't belong as they are just stabbed in. The 3 rows of M blocks on the right were probably from the original installation as they are also consistent with the two rows on the left. I'm guessing it took several years and hands to get to this condition. Carl This model is end of life

Look at the bright side - I bet after you get the other 90% ripped out, you can get a pretty good price for the scrap copper. Then again, I don't know if they give less for it being insulated. And as far as the power pole in the ceiling, I think I figured that one out. Did a bit of googling, and found a pic of the original owners of the building: https://img292.imageshack.us/img292/5315/ownersew6.jpg
