They may be in transition. My literature was Junction City, but the address was Abilene. I called the Abilene site and found the L/B's there.

The site was 2175 Deer Road, Abilene, KS. They were most gracious. Customer Service indicated I would have to wait until Tuesday to pick up. I called the MGR (Chris), he invited me to come in for load out. The three, John Ret. Army and fmr Army Wes and Mike, helped me load on Monday and we left...

Thank you. I am a visual learner. It always helps me to read and then to see and lastly, to do!

Thank You. Was a bit of a tech mystery to me!!!

I saw these and put in a bid. One is Serial # 2 and the other is S/N 4. So they are quite old. The TM has a line: This manual supersedes TM 5-6115-453-12,7 March 1969. So these are probably from that early date. Printed on them are these markings: FMS AHATS. The winning bid was $220. The box...

I will see if I can figure out how to start a thread. I did find Load Bank in search.

Thank you! My questions may seem a bit foolish. However, I wish not to hurt any of the pieces of equipment nor personnel (me) and youall are so helpful!!!

It depends. I found a couple in Kansas (Gov Planet) and their auction for $220 + fees & taxes. My wife and I made a road trip of it to pick them up. Freight companies wanted over $900 (highest) and $600 (lowest). I spent more on the trip than the cost of the L/B's, but we enjoyed the break from...

Very helpful! The TM seemed clear enough about where to connect (for 1 phase 240) the L1 (ganged Knobs) and L3 to L0. I figured the ground was a given. What do you do with the L0 (neutral) when preparing to use the A427A? I really appreciate your pictures. I am a visual learner, but I can read...

It was somewhat of a happenstance. I decided to take a look and I was pleasantly surprised. They are old. One looks like S/N 2. My wife and I will make a bit of a road trip out of it. Then I will see what I have. Thank you for the post and I hope you can be equally fortunate.

I will be careful to follow the grounding recommendations. I also heard a story of severe shock from an improperly grounded unit.

Oh how we GI's learn to innovate. What a great way for power production to create personal climate control!!!

They are over 8 hours away. Wife and I will make a road trip out of it. I was just looking around the net when I saw these. So, I worked up a bid to see how it would go. It surprised me that I was able to get them so cheaply. Now, to get them and see how they work. I was glad to see the cables...

Will Do!

Purchased 2 Essex Electro Engineers A427A. Going to get them next week.

Thank You for the post. I just bought two and will have one up and working soon.

Is there a manual om line?

Well, next is the load test. I put the muffler on last evening. It is much quieter. I wonder how the set got into this condition. However, it is a jewel in the rough. I looked on Gov planet to see whar units sold for (5K-8K).

Well Ray, I ran the Gen for a while this evening (Amb Temp 89, Hum 66) Unit Temp about 183 Degrees. Exhaust temps W/ Cardboard) 193, 194, 195, 195. The sound was healthy diesel bass hum-vibration. The freq meter was a steady 60 and the voltmeter a steady 240. The Ammeter was showing the...
