I have just picked up another one of these generators and this one has three terminals two of which are marked high and low charge or similar wording.

In the book Wireless for the Warrior the author makes reference to a 40/60 watt version.

Does anyone have any more details on this version or have a similar set?

The manual makes reference to early production models having terminals for both AC and DC Voltage.

Default Gen set

What do these little sets weigh, without the frame?

Default Chore horse 24 Volts

Hi All,

Dirk Leegwater has these Chore horses on his site. He lists them as 24 Volts but no power rating. They are Canadian manufacture. No idea if they are ww2 or postwar. Anybody know these?

Cheers,

I assume Charlie is asking about the 80 watt generator rather than the 300 watt Dirk has.

I can stick mine on the bathroom scales if that is of any use.

The frame does not add much to the weight and without it the generator is not complete. The side panels which clip on are also often missing and the hardest bit to find is the canvas cover which incorporates a handle which clips on to the frame.

Default My goodness-

The questions keep piling up -

As to the 80 watt version ( ST) I need to know what they weigh, and how big the box would be as I'm looking to have one shipped.. I accept that the one I'm looking at is in-complete, but it just fascinates me.

What does Dirk ask for the chorehorse?
