Anyone interested in small generator sets?

Sounds like one of the small BSA charging sets.

I might well be interested Chris. I'll continue this off list.

I've not seen the generator set myself, but I've sent you an e-mail with the chap's details.

Best wishes,

Chris

I had a look at the generator set recently and got some further details:

It's marked with the letters "GPO" near a small panel meter. The engine is painted dark blue and I couldn't read the maker's name, but he says it's an Aspera. Apparently the engine is intended to burn gas rather than petrol, but this could probably be changed if you can source a suitable carburettor. The dynamo is made by Newton Derby, is painted light grey and produces 24.5 V DC. The carrying frame is welded steel with the engine and dynamo sitting on rubber mountings. Overall it's a solidly built set. Condition is good to very good. I'd imagine you could have it running in an hour or two.

It's located in Newport, Shropshire. If you're interested, drop me a line (chris AT ruggedmachines DOT com) and I'll give you the chap's phone number.

Best wishes,

Chris

Hi all

I used to work for gpo telephones later bt and in the days of the gpo the engineers carried 24 volt propane gas powered generators to provide lighting in the work area at night or down manholes etc.. Could this be an ex gpo lighting set by any chance

Hi Les,

I would say it almost certainly is. If you're interested in buying it, drop me a line (e-mail address in my earlier post) and I'll give you the seller's phone number.
