6 X 6 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 More taxpayer's money down the drain. This battery charging generator must have cost Mr and Mrs. Drongo quite a few quid at the time and then, subsequently, had very little use. It's a high quality piece of kit with a plywood base, cast aluminum fuel tank, tool kit, spare carburetor, plenty of classy brass fittings and it's very own little canvas tent. Sighted today on a rare appearance outside of it's wooden crate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REME 245 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Very nice standard Chorehorse Generator produced in various voltages from WW2 untill the 1960's. I assume you do not have a source for more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 X 6 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Very nice standard Chorehorse Generator produced in various voltages from WW2 untill the 1960's. I assume you do not have a source for more? I just have this one that I've owned for around 10 years. It maybe heading for eBay, along with another WD generator, to help pay for the new lorry den I'm hoping to build later this year. If I do decide to sell it I'll let you know. Thank you for you comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listerdiesel Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 There are 12V 24V and 30V versions, all with electric start. These were originally produced by The OMC (Outboard Motor Company) or Johnson, and by Pincor Gen-E-Motor in a version specific to the WS No 12, which was a US Army field radio set with 60 mile range. We have a few BSA's and two Pincors here. Just did a deal for a 30v BSA genny with a WWII museum in a place called Best, near Eindhoven. Then also sold my larger 110V DC 4kW Petter genny set and a couple of spare engines. http://www.wingsofliberation.nl They have the most fantastic radio room, with lots of restored WWII radio gear, a couple of C-47's, a MIG-21, F104G and a large storage barn full of WWII vehicles, and a couple of guns. There's a Sherman tank on the approach road. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david052 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Lovely set up! I've got several of these, including a Johnson version, but none as complete as yours. If you ever do decide to sell it drop me a line - I would be very interested in buying it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Is that painted deep bronze green? Would that colour be suited for one in the 70s or 80s? I'm looking to tidy up and repaint mine but want to know an appropriate colour. Cheers, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41jeepers Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hi Guys, I am looking for a canvas cover for a BSA 300W charging set. Also a drawing with the dimensions or pictures of it will help. Besides that I also need a canvas cover for my 19 set. And also drawings or pictures will be of great help. Any info is welcome Wim van Snippenberg The Netherlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 They occasionally come up on UK eBay, but I've never found one that will ship to Australia. Cheers, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Easier to get dimensions and get one made up yourself. After all 'In the Day' if stuff got scruffy, indent to stores for a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
