Ohlsson & Rice: Amp Champ

[CNew 404]

Picked up my first find since the move. Looks to be in pretty good shape.

Real nice shape. Good find

I’m curious, does anyone know if the wire leads on the Crescent spools in the first photo are original to the generator?

Although I have seen some accessories with the Tiny Tigers that I believe were original to them, those are most likely nice homemade leads for charging batteries.

THanks Webhead, that’s kind of what I figured.

I need to figure out where you find this things. All I see are the same thing or thing that I think are a little over priced.

Nice one

[CNew 404]

Found this one on Craigslist and had to drive a couple hours to pick it up. Price wasn’t too bad, not like the one on eBay right now - wow that one is getting some serious bidding!

[JUST O&R 237]

Just a little high plus the shipping

it looks good but not that good

[CNew 404]

Yeah, that particular version seems to be fairly uncommon but yikes that’s a lot of $$$.

That looks very nice, it's the Orline rebrand of the Varo Amp Champ, it should have the Varo details ground off on the generator.

They look home-made to me, I can't help thinking if O&R or Varo had supplied those leads they would have crimped the wire directly to the alligator clips.
