    I'm in need of a replacement 24v Solid State Regulator FVR 4006 for my mep002 generator. Does anyone have a source for these? Thanks.

    Generator plan - what do you think?

    Project Update In the last few months I bid on a bunch of 002 and 003's within 400 miles of home on GL and have not won one yet. Prices for these sets keep getting higher. Last week while researching these units on this site I ran accross a thread that talked about C.H. Shook of Spartanburg...

    Generator plan - what do you think?

    LuckyDog, I bid on a couple of 5kw 002a's. I bid low and someone else got them; but all is well. At my price I would have enjoyed having one to run daily without the welder. I'm taking my time and looking for a 003a. I'll find one sooner or later. In the mean time I'm using steel rods...

    Generator plan - what do you think?

    Polycop, I appreciate the Lincoln Electric site. My situation appears the same. I guess the 15,000 watt generator he recommended assumed the welder would be run at full load, which I do not use since I sold the much welded early 1950s Cat cable blade D69U. From what I understand a 10kw...

    AceHigh, That's right up my alley - the daily driver is an 82 300SD Mercedes and the 2 parts cars have paid for themselves a number of times.

    Generator plan - what do you think?

    I power my hobby workshop with a 10hp gas 5,500 watt generator. It's time to move my 50 amp welder in. I currently feed a 200 amp panel 220v on a 30 (start up) amp circuit. About 70% of the time lights, fan and an outlet or two for hand tools works fine. Using the air compressor requires...
