Hair Bear Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Many years ago my father brought home a barn find Onan generator. Definately ex-military and looked something like a w2c. I remember it being 2cyl, hand crank or 12v electric start, 240v and thought to be about 3kv(?). Although there are pics on the web of a w2c I'm sure this one was physicly bigger, and had a heavy, purpose built tubular cage/frame around it which had a tray for the battery that fitted crossways above the control box, two jerry can carriers, and a fitted heavy canvas cover. It'd been bolted to a couple of railway sleepers if it really needed any more weight, but ran almost silently and free of any vibration. It was sold some years ago through a auction in the New Forest as a non runner and a fault in the generator somewhere which meant it didn't operate at full capacity. I've never seen another one and was wondering how rare it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
