I have a beautiful 1913 generator with a copy of the original instruction sheet for sale. It was restored for show. I can't seem to figure out how to send pictures through this forum. Humm-done it before! Will send through email if there is an interest, or reply. Thinking around 700.00 or good offer, Steve

Hi Steve,
Thank you for your response. i believe 1913 and 1914 used the same generator. Is your generator a Victor? It may be better than I am looking for. I plan to keep my car in unrestored but presentable condition and your restored generator may look to good on my car. I was hoping to find one for $500.00 or less.
Fred

Can't find a name on it but it has the brass pointer on top that points to a brass scale about the size of a silver dollar. This would be your water drip regulator. Probably the most common as I see it often on 13's and 14's. The collector basket inside was really rusty so it has been sand blasted and painted silver. Send me your email and I will send pictures of inside and out. Am very flexible on price.

Will except 5 but still having trouble communicating. Can't figure out how to send or post pictures, as there is no option or link to send. I'll ask my wife when she gets home tonight. She is younger then me. Old Steve

When I visited the parts stash that I talked about on the forum I found a rusty/crusty carbide generator

This thing has some dents and a lot of crusty surface rust, but no rust through that I can see
The only thing that I see is missing is one of the clamps. Even the carbide basket is there and in good condition.
The price would be $250 which would include shipping to your door. I can provide more photos if needed.

PM me if you are interested
