Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

It depends on the state of it. Have you got all of it or just that bit? They were quite the machine in their day. If you just want the most efficient, up to date machine around no. It you like historic old stuff absolutely.

Lots of info here

Hi Jim
There is lots of moving parts but they are all very well made.
Iam well into recondition this unit now after testing to generator and all seems to work fine i decided to fix the old unit and put it back into service.
I currently have a few other generators runing at the moment so it will be good to see a old girl run again.
It is going to be a big project having to build tower to handle 450LB weight when laying down.
I will keep you posted.
Darren
