Austria Generator
By: Mi Steam Date: November 24, 2019, 1:42 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I bought this generator from on eBay after someone on the forum
talked about it. The seamed a
little high but with a total of about 89.00 US dollars it looked
good to me. I have to say I have never
seen a better back item in all my days buying on eBay. So it was
worth the extra postage to get it in great shape.
I thought that the wood board a little small. So I made it
bigger and added a switch for the light and
added two terminals for running a motor. Here is what I did to
the generator kit from Austria.

That´s a purchase you won´t regret Carl, Kurt Berger makes great
gennys, with a very nice output.
I agree with the size of the original bases, and really like
what you´ve done to yours there.
A way more stable and versatile solution, with the switch and
outlets on there as well.
Good job !!!

Wow Carl, that is one heck of a great improvement!! I bought one
of these many years ago, plus an extra genny/pulley set for a
lower price than the lamp post set. I really like the added
terminals and of course the switch is fun to flick on and off
when running with an engine to see the effect a load has.
I was just looking for an engine on the shelf yesterday and
flicked the pulley by hand on mine and was surprised how well it
lit the bulb.

Nice one Carl, i've seen these generators pop up from time to
time on UK eBay and know a few people that own them. I like what
you have done with the base on yours!
