PE77D Generator

Post by Myers » Thu Apr 30, 2020 1:26 pm

I restored this generator a few years ago, and it's been stored inside ever since. It really is factory fresh, it was a complete rebuild. I am considering letting it go, as I really don't have space for it anymore.

Does anyone have a realistic idea on what it is worth? It is a very niche item, so I assume it would be difficult to sell. If that's the case, I'll probably just hold onto it. Just thought I'd try and see if there would be interest in it.

Do you remember if you reused the electrical outlets or replaced them. Somewhere else I think someone was trying to source them and they are not around.

They are the original outlets.

Pretty sure that's a NEMA L1-15 Duplex receptacle:

So you'd want an l1-15P plug end for your power cord.

Here's my PE-108 being started up for the first time.

I've yet to restore it. Still has the original base, but the cover was long gone when I got to it.
