I acquired an Allam generator with a Petter AA1 diesel engine some time ago. Dragged it out from it's hiding place in the workshop today, while having a sort out/move around. I don't know what year it is, but guess around the 1980's. Details of the genny are as follows. KVA 2.5. COS 0.8. Serial No. 1022 2P. 110 - 230V. Single phase. Cycles 50. AMPS 17.4 - 8.7. Made by E.P.Allam & Co. Ltd. Arterial Rd, Eastwood, Leigh-on-Sea. Essex. The Petter details are... AA1 No74343 AA1. 3 BHP. 3,000 RPM. Runs and generates like a good 'un. Noisy beast though. Haven't a clue what the excitation socket is for. I'll just leave it to the imagination. Any ideas of age anyone? Had a bit of a Google, but drew a blank.

Not done much today, ive welded a helper sring hook on the axle bracket and bent a bit of plate for the belt tension spring

Hi all I am coming down with Hako and planet junior stuff might even bring Lister push hoe see you there

Its where you plug your ear phones in to see if you get excitation,
