The search for the US Generator is closed, however we will continue looking for Capitol Engine Co. items, and Waukesha ICK engine parts. We are now rebuilding one of two Capitol Engines, the second one is waiting its turn.
Also, we are moving forward to building the control boxes. So the search for carbon pile voltage regulators, resistors, switches and instruments. What I find interesting is I found national stock numbers for some of the parts. We are fortunate to use Haystack for researching parts.
What a good day indeed.

We found another ICK thanks to the Gas Engine article. This one will be used as a spare.

Our re-built Capitol Engine was test run a couple weeks ago. I will post the video in my next newsletter. My Facebook site page also has that video.
