This unit is located on the west coast of Scotland. I checked to engine yesterday and it turns nicely after god knows how many years it has been in the Diabaig Pier store.

I don't have the time to try and renovate it and the owner has no desire to hang on to it so it will be going on E-bay tomorrow.

Anyone have any thoughts on any Museums or similar that may be interested in it?

the ref number is 42QX/94 (does the 42 lead number depict it was manufactured in 1942?

serial number is:   GTEI  540  c

may i ask how you know it was used on the GEE-H system?
