It would be a MEP-004A, 15 KW, 60Hz. $400 is a VERY fair price for one! Retail is around $4000 for the same thing. As long as it works, you're doing well!

If it's the MEP-113a, that's the 400 Hz model. Unless you're going to run some air crafts or a boatload of incandescent lighting, or purely resistive loads, I wouldn't give $40 for it.

That's why it is "only" $400.

it does have a knob to adjust down to 60 hrz, I assume that it can not be adjusted?

If the set is in a acoustic suppression kit (ASK), don't go by what the plate on the kit shows. The same kit will go on all three gen set types. You'll need to find the set data plate or do some homework.
Check these links for more info. Hope this helps.

Kip-
If it's 400hz, you have only a few options-
First, is to snag the whole thing, make it function, and then swap out the generator head with a 60hz unit...
or second (as others noted) use it to drive incandescent lamps and resistive loads.
One LAST possibility, is using it to push power into a fairly svelte inverter (like an industrial Variable Frequency Drive, but set to fixed-freq)...
