    For sale locally, should I buy? For sale Gichner 8/5 wire and spool.

    98G, thanks for the input. I see from your profile you're a Midwest guy as well. We're KCMO folks, went to Baker U in Baldwin City, KS, AZ for 20 now. 2018-2019 did a year in Leavenworth, don't judge... Work sent me CGSC with the Army, not the fed lockup, or DB you were thinking ofrofl If...

    For sale locally, should I buy? For sale Gichner 8/5 wire and spool.

    Thanks guys! He's asking $400, from the pics the gen unit and trailer look brand new and it's garage kept. I'll take a look, probably low-ball him if it looks good. I'm guessing it's ideally setup for use as 3-phase. Is it a problem, and, does that output on the 803a put out 240 single...

    For sale locally, should I buy? For sale Gichner 8/5 wire and spool.

    Would this be advisable to use with my MEP-803a? I've read a lot here and 8/5 seems a bit small to run at full load for the house. Ideally I'll run buried line of appropriate gauge cable from the Genset to the box, but until then is this cable workable? Looks to be from an 803a on a...

    Tucson/Red Rocks Lot Exceptionally Unreliable!!!

    So, apparently I sold my AC unit today to someone from Colorado. I'm just glad to be rid of this problem. Hopefully the buyer has better luck than I with the Tucson/Red Rocks lot. Of course, I'm too stupid, bought 4 hydraulic oil tanks today, cheap. I'll just take an entire day off...

    Tucson/Red Rocks Lot Exceptionally Unreliable!!!

    They ask when I can pickup the item. No problem, I'll pick it up Monday. Not good enough, abandoned, and relisted with me as the seller. WTF!!! GP is a joke, all because their lot in Tucson just opens and closes whenever it wants. GP say their open, call the lot attendant, nope not open. GP...

    Tucson/Red Rocks Lot Exceptionally Unreliable!!!

    GP basically told me to pound sand and either pick it up or abandon it. Even went so far as to tell me I should have waited around for their dead beat lot attendant to show up 1.5 hours late. I'm not waiting an hour and a half for anyones dead a$$. I like this stuff but GP may have pushed me...

    What Stupid Looks Like.....Every time I say "I'll never win this"....

    I'm old and I had to look that one up! Swapped several emails with Eleetus today. They still sell and support this system. He is getting me all of the documentation tomorrow and stated. "Good news is that the motion engine is the most robust part of the system. They beat up the monitors and...

    Tucson/Red Rocks Lot Exceptionally Unreliable!!!

    Not what I wanted to hear! Sucks because there are a lot of items in Tucson I'm interested in. Sad that GP puts up with such incompetency. I've been quite a thorn in GP's side on this one. Hopefully they make changes in Tucson! Later, Matt

    What Stupid Looks Like.....Every time I say "I'll never win this"....

    Eleetus bought BlueTiger in 2016: In 2016, Eleetus acquired Blue Tiger LLC and their “raised fulcrum” patent that makes the Eleetus simulator so special. Starting with racing and flight, Eleetus has continued to expand into the areas of driver education and passive motion entertainment. Looks...

    Tucson/Red Rocks Lot Exceptionally Unreliable!!!

    GP Customer service emailed back. Not shipping it to me, I can either pick up or they will re-list it. I agreed to pick up, but only when the site manager calls me to set up a time when he is present. I also asked GP reimburse me at the federal mileage rate for my wasted trip. 158 miles...

    What Stupid Looks Like.....Every time I say "I'll never win this"....

    That looks awesome! I don't think I'll get quite as serious as your rig, but I intend to make it work as intended. Might sell it after that, we'll see. Later, Matt

    Tucson/Red Rocks Lot Exceptionally Unreliable!!!

    I have an email from GP Customer Service who called the site the day before confirming 0700, and I called the site manager (forwarded to the alternate) who assured me the attendant would be there and they would be open at 0700. GP wanted me to pick it up ASAP so I carved out time to get it done...

    Tucson/Red Rocks Lot Exceptionally Unreliable!!!

    Apparently thats what it takes, and I've got plenty of those! Then this very AM I get the final 60 day abandonment notice email. Adding insult to injury! I copied that and sent it to my customer service rep, Chelsie, that is attempting to fix this mess. She's been pretty responsive so I'm...

    Tucson/Red Rocks Lot Exceptionally Unreliable!!!

    These guys in Tucson are complete jokers. Took a couple of hours off work this morning for a pickup, 100 + miles one way. 0700 -14:30 M-F...Right..... No shot, I get there and there's a hand written note on the fence "Open at 8:30". This, after having GP verify with George (the alternate...

    What Stupid Looks Like.....Every time I say "I'll never win this"....

    Kinda sort of Military. 2016 Era USMC Recruiting F-35 full motion flight simulator. Looks better in person than the pics on GP. All of the mechanicals are present, screens and some controls are missing, but looks like all COTS stuff, so easily replaceable. Seat has a couple of rips from rough...

    Where to find reasonable genny ?

    Damn, just realized where it is!!! I was just in LA for work. Drove out and back, totally would have bought that and dragged it home if I'd have seen it before I went out there. Ugh!

    WTH! $13,500 GP CUCV ii

    Oof! Glad I didn't get it. Wasn't sure what it was. 6.2L dog, for $13,500 seemed a bit crazy to me. For $13,500 seems one can get a whole lot better truck!

    WTH! $13,500 GP CUCV ii

    Wow, yes, low miles, apparently well running, and in good condition, for a 1993 CUCV ii. I was watching this for my youngest boy. LOL, not even close. I was thinking $5-7K at the most. Guess I'm a dreamer. If someone here on SS got it good on you! If not, I bet there's a new member...
