The boats built sometime after the 305 had two Capitol Engine Company generator units installed, the navy got rid of the 2.5kw US Motors. I believe that we are likely to find a 5.5 kw generator than a 2.5 version. So I will concentrate my efforts in finding a Capitol.

Someone sent photos to me of their 2.5kw generator they bought at an auction. I have yet to confirm it is it but it does look like it.

I checked out the photo you sent to me, and it does look like the same generator, pretty close anyway. My question is are you planning to make this a running engine, and if not, I think you have enough there with the present engine to build a decent replica..............

Likely to become a running example of 1944 technology. I can say it may be installed inside the engine room for exhibition purposes.
We already posses two Capitol Engine Gen Sets, and both of those will be utilized during operations.

The US Generator set up was found in Ohio. The seller has one in good shape however we have decided to move on. Thank you to all for your time in helping!
