factory 487 #1 Posted November 16, 2019 Just had a quick look at completed listings on ePay.com and found this strange looking O&R generator. The labelling for the generator output looks a bit homemade, as well as having the switch to select between 115V & 12V (instead of having a separate low voltage connector), the generator housing looks nicely made.

JUST O&R 237 #2 Posted November 16, 2019 I seen that strange looking thing. Defoliation have never seen anything like that before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #3 Posted November 16, 2019 I assumed it was home made as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #4 Posted November 16, 2019 As you say David it looks homemade, neat though !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #5 Posted November 16, 2019 Yes, definitely cool to see how people put these little engines to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #6 Posted November 16, 2019 If it is home-made then someone must have spent quite a while machining those housings, the engine (Model K) is the same as used on the Champ generators. Question is did anyone buy it? David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #7 Posted November 16, 2019 It was on there at a fair price and thought about it but just don't have the time for another generator. The listing did not have a pic of the output side when I saw it. There were quite a bit a small companies back then so not so sure it's homemade. But there are also quite a bunch of really skilled people out there too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #8 Posted November 16, 2019 There are a couple of generators from smaller companies that haven't turned up yet, the Krestronics Charge-R-Lite and the Nobco Power Beam, but this is neither of those, it could have had a band with the name & ratings like the TT generators.

CNew 404 #9 Posted November 16, 2019 That Nobco Power Beam is too freak’n cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #10 Posted November 17, 2019 I remember seeing a frame for that Pigmy Power Plant before. Probably back on the old forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #11 Posted November 17, 2019 The frame for the Krestronics Charge-R-Lite was in the unknown applications thread, we still haven't seen a complete one. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #12 Posted November 17, 2019 David, Thanks for adding the link to the Unknown applications- these are great! It’s fun to see all the various tools and machines. Clint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUST O&R 237 #13 Posted November 17, 2019 Now that would be like finding a needle in a hay stack! 1 pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #14 Posted November 17, 2019 The Krestronics and a few of the others from the 'unknown' thread have engines from the earliest batch of O&R's, so it's not surprizing that not much has survived. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUST O&R 237 #15 Posted November 21, 2019 I see its back on ebay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #16 Posted November 21, 2019 Have a closer look, the engine serial number is different, slightly less rust on the steel bits, no air filter and a bent foot. It's a second one, not so 'rare' after all then??? David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUST O&R 237 #17 Posted November 21, 2019 looked the same to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #18 Posted November 22, 2019 Just saw it too and the seller confirmed it is a second one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUST O&R 237 #19 Posted November 22, 2019 It's like the green Foggers that were on ebay they Probably have a stack of them . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #20 Posted November 22, 2019 I was thinking the same thing, that they may have a few of them, same as the seller that had half a dozen NOS foggers. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
