Does anyone know anything about this? I think I got the stub tower and the wood prop that fits it, I was told it was contracted made by Wincharger but I have no idea? Its all there other than the generator is gone, it has the gear box and all intact but the shaft and generator is missing. I wonder if a Wincharger would be a drop in replacement? I don't know anything about the ratio but I might rig up an old car generator if nothing else? Anyone got some suggestions?

It is a 32V Wincharger sold by Montgomery Ward, "Powerlite" being the retailer's trade name. I believe its a 1000W. Not sure about the gear ratio but I probably have a generator that fits, I'll check. It's the early gearbox design. The 6V machines sold by Montgomery Ward had "Truetone" on the tail vane.
Likewise the Winchargers sold by Sears used "Powermaster" and "Silvertone" for the 32 and 6V machines.

I traced that one out and had the decal made. I sent you the specs. That was a few years ago
