    I'm following your adventures with some envy. There's probably even a few treasures in there that you need to discuss with your boss so they end up in your home shop!!



    How big is the turbogenerator? What voltage did it run at? As others have said, there are some markets for the used stuff that you will probably be investigating. Don't forget to test transformer oils for PCB's (and oil-filled capacitors, especially because of the age of the stuff!)

    If you don't already know about this site, "Surplus record", its a very good start to find the people who buy and sell the big stuff like what you have. Link here. They put out a monthly publication advertising stuff in very fine print, like a little phone book about an inch thick. Some people have been advertising in there since the 20's!!

    A big THANK YOU for sharing this!!

    Jon.
