Re: Carbide Generator
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

Re: Carbide Generator
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.

Re: Carbide Generator
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.

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