Chorehorse question.

[Alex van de Wetering]

Lovely work Jordan. Makes me want to spend some time on the restoration of mine.

Here is a question; Brian commented on the pulley and gauge panel, but does anyone know more about the base colour of the sets? Did they follow the same base colours (and dates) as vehicles....Khaki green G3-early war, SCC2 born mid war, SCC15 from 1944 onwards? I think all I have seen are green....non in SSC2?

Somebody thinks this one is worth it's weight in gold it would seem, does look quite, how would you say, pretty?

US PE-14 model. Not exactly a chorehorse. And yes, he thinks its gold.

Back in 2015, Brian and I were looking at whether the PU-5008/U and wartime chorehorse could be converted between 12 and 24 volts (and the other way around) and what changes needed to be made to do a conversion. At that time noone seemed to have an answer and I'm wondering if in the last few years anyone has found an answer.

One solution would be that if you have a WW2 era 12 volt one and need my PU-5008 post war 24 volt rework we could trade. It must be possible as all the post war 24 volt ones are re-purposed 12 volt ones. I think it has to be where you position the brush on the armature.

Unfortunately, I also have the PU-5008 24 volt version so am wondering what might be needed to set it back to the 12 volt version. But, thanks for the offer.

We're in the same boat. I need to "WW2-ize" my PU-5008. It has the original brown WW2 paint under the OD so that's easy to match. The data and spec plate will be a problem, and of course the 12/24 volt issue.

I really should compare my wartime ones to the postwar rebuild ones
