MEP-025A. OK, just picked this baby up for $75 on CList. Now what can I do with it? What have you used them for? Might make a great slave starter for my duece?? Battery charger? Its 1968 vintage so will work for my Vietnam display. Thaks, Bob

I see you've got this listed as a 12V unit in your signature - but I believe it should be 28V. I'd use it as a portable battery charger for starting the deuce, or as an emergency charger to charge the battery on a bigger electrically started MEP plant. Might find some 24V bulbs to use it as a source of light while camping.

Carl, thanks for the correction, yes 28v. Rectified! No pun intended.
I have some 12v lamps so could wire them in series for the 24v. My 120v unit works fine for power tools in the field. Grounding is serious with any genset. Hammering down an 8' rod is one thing, getting it out again is another! Not to self: my next MV will be a wrecker......

68T, I too am thinking like you. Any good deal is a deal and good for trading if its not your thing. I just picked up a 2.75 rocket motor section on evilbay, now to find a dummy warhead to screw into it. I wish I could afford my own Huey! I have one tail rotor so its a start.
