Ok, an Onan Diesel from 1969 is most likely a Magneciter era Onan DJB, there should be a data plate with a model number on it something like 5.0DJB-?? In 5 KW the most valuable is likely a 120/240 single phase unit which would have a -3? voltage code, other common codes are -15 or -18 for reconnectable 12 lead units. Value is hard to place on a generator, but in running condition I would put it a little lower than the going price on a MEP-002a (magneciter parts are very rare these days, otherwise the DJB is perhaps the best 5KW diesel generator ever offered on the civilian market)
