MarkC 1 #1 Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Apologies for joining the forum just to sell something, but having found myself in possession of this machine, I figured it belongs in the hands of an enthusiast, so here I am. This has been sitting unused in a garage for at least 25 years. I'm in Surrey, England, but I've listed on ebay with their global shipping program, so it can go to most destinations worldwide. Ebay listing here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274404438824 Previous forum thread about these machines here: Edited June 21, 2020 by MarkC Removed global shipping. 1 factory reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad to see the global shipping is not showing on the listing, as they seized a similar generator one of the forum members had bought in the US. Engines & some engine parts are restricted items under the global shipping programme, as are other things like vacuum tubes/valves, they can either resell or dispose of restricted items.

David Thanks for the tip. I did check the program rules, and didn't see anything that would prohibit it, though I guess maybe it would be assumed to contain flammable fuel (that's really not the case, it's dry as bone after the length of time it's been standing). In any case, now you've tipped me off I won't be taking the risk. I shall remove the global shipping from the listing. Edit: And now because it already has a bid, I can't untick the GSP box. Well, if it's not showing up I guess it's not a problem. Perhaps that is automatic as I put it under the generators category.

factory 487 #4 Posted June 21, 2020 I checked on ebay.com, it wasn't showing GSP, they are pretty good at removing the option in restricted categories, but sometimes items get listed in the wrong category and the option does show, then the item can get seized. Also items that are too big or heavy will never get shipped abroad. Proper shipping companies have no problem with engines (drained of oil/fuel), chainsaws and radio valves. Edit: they don't like magnetos either, my Dad lost a working 1920's Eisemann twin magneto to them. David 1 MarkC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #5 Posted June 28, 2020 Did anyone on here win it? I wonder if it'll be another six years before we see another one. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

factory 487 #7 Posted July 1, 2020 Welcome Phil, there is lots of information on these engines, a carb repair guide and lots of other tools that are powered by O&R engines here; https://myoldmachine.com/forum/74-ohlsson-and-rice/ I recommend either starting a new thread in the O&R section or asking on a similar thread, if you need any help or assistance with your restoration.
