Help with MEP-701A info

I got a call today with what I think is a reasonable deal on a 701a. I have never even seen one of them in person so I don’t know much about them.

Anyone have any experience with them? Any opinions on longevity and what it would be worth.

Thanks for the help

It is a MEP-016b with sound suppression kit on it. Not a bad gen, but is 3,600 RPM, 1 cyl Onan diesel. Would be good if you need a robust 3KW backup.

I agree on the robust part, in this video I had it loaded to 110%, then threw 6kw on it and didnt kill it or trip the overload.
