Fairbanks Morse Ruralite 32V 750W

Absolutely beautiful old machine. Rare model I am told and only one I have ever seen.

9 Foot blade span. Fella I bought it off told me the blades were NOS and they look it. Were wrapped in paper when I got it still. I pulled cover and looked into the generator and the Brushes and Commutator look ...

Hey all, Thought I would keep updating my find's. I will be honest just over a month ago I had no idea what I was buying here but it turned out well. I got a bunch of random parts and pieces and some blades wrapped in paper, Wincharger gearboxes etc. I was told this unit had NOS blades and after ...

Re: Wincharger 6V “Rebuild kit”


I think it’s a great idea. I could list you as a supplier on Wincharger.com. Covering every Wincharger model would be a daunting task since they made over 100 different models, around 20 of those being 6V machines. I’d start with the early models, 36-39 which were Delco Remy. After 1939, they ...

Re: Wincharger 12V model


Josh.I don't know if you aware or not. I was surfing the internet several years ago and ran across a web site of a company making wind charger blades. As I remember he had a VERY large collection of original NOS blades for patterns and a machine he could put them in and it would copy them exactly ...
