I like you guys already. I tried to look at the 003a at GP in Tucson. No go per GP customer service. "That item is located at a private lot and cannot be previewed." I eventually got out of her that its at GP's lot and not at Davis Monthan AFB. Seems pretty stupid to me but I'll bid...

Wife didn't complain. If it don't run, the she'll get a bit testy! The SW US power grid is dangerously at the end of capacity to meet demand. I've got some pretty good inside info. Hoover Dam isn't the giant endless battery in the sky it once was. Can't Spin turbines iffins you gots no...

I'm trying to arrange a pickup here as I just won a generator. GP shows 5147 US Hwy 82 EastHooks TX 75561 as the pickup address. I guess I need to call and verify. I'll try Eddie (above). I'll update this post with my results. Bids out to Veritread, Uship, and a local guy I've used previously...

And... I'm still looking at that MEO-003a this week. In-laws now say they want a genny. A 003a would be perfect for them as they are very rural and have several acres. And no neighbors to complain about the noise. The 803a is a better fit for my situation. Later, Matt

Soooo, that cautious thing....rolled the dice today. Bought an MEP-803a today. Bid, oh, no problem I'll get out bid.......................................30 seconds left.......😥,,,.,............... Oh s#!& I won. Hmm how's the wife going to take this? Anyone know anything about pickup at...

Thanks all for the advice! Sadly, it seems they're all going for big money these days. I'm a cautious buyer, thus I don't own a big generator yet!

Thanks! I'll be looking at this non-running 003a on Thursday and will report on my findings. Hopefully its just a lack of batteries that caused the non-running status. Looks good on the outside, but the rodents in the desert can be unforgiving, and its a mid-1980s vintage so who knows. Where is...

Thanks all! Yes to the IP damage on cranking of a 003a. The 003a is the one I will likely win. I've read extensively on the refurb and initial testing/start-up of the 003a. I'll just have to come up with a placement and noise attenuation solution for my tight and above my paygrade neighborhood...

Hi all, I'm a long time lurker here. I'm finally in a position and can justify a large genny purchase for home back up power. I'm presently watching several 803s and an 003a thats local. In recent auctions on GovPlanet I've seen several videos of cranking but non-starting MEP-803s. Several were...
