We do need to keep in mind that markets have a strong emotional component. My comments quoted are from the standpoint of a market mostly free from external emotional forces. Forces such as we are currently experiencing in the wake of multiple hurricane strikes. The market in your area may not...

It could be a reasonable price. I would want to see the unit running a load test before purchase.

To run that load with some headroom to start the HVAC compressor as it cycled on and off you'd be looking at something in the 20kw range.

Just as a FYI - that one is 3 phase only.

Just as a FYI, I have a never deployed 10kw machine with virtually zero time on it. I wouldn't take less than $6k for it. You can save some $$ on a retired military generator versus buying a new generator (purchase price). If you don't have a reasonable aptitude for mechanical and electrical...

I found it on Craigslist in about 30 seconds of searching.

I'm very happy to see the 803 prices coming down. I've paid more than that at auction for units.

Not spoofing you. Its not a TSI but a 420a car. We run it in the 24 Hours of Lemons. It has 3000GT brakes and a seriously modified suspension. An absolute hoot on a road course.

The talon lives in Tennessee when it's not on the track.

It does indeed. Second owner with 280k miles.

A realistic budget for a 803 that you won't have to work on too much is $3,500 a $4,000.

That budget will limit you to a 003 if you need 10kw.

Here I am humiliating myself. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2ucd1TGFTw_eW1PdHh5aDNibzQ

The 803 will have the better long term parts availability.

The 803 is a more current model and many of the parts are readily available. That doesn't mean cheap. Look around on auction sites and search for parts. You'll get a feel for what it costs if you break something. On the plus side it's not to likely you will break something if you treat them...

MEP003. It's the previous generation of military generators. The 003 is a 10kw air cooled machine. The 803 is a 10kw water cooled machine.

Here are my thoughts. You won't know the answer to your question without taking inventory of your loads on paper and adding them up. Secondly - how much effort are you wanting to put into this? These are not set-and-forget machines. As mentioned above once you have your inventory you need to...
