N.E. Ohio! But I have friends around Binghamton, and I get to the Thousand Islands 1-2 times a year, usually around late June.
A recent post (Deerslayer660?) said GE is going to offer the ECM 'Brain' seperate now. That is going to reduce how many good ones are thrown away. Rare as fish feathers around here all ready.
I came up with a half horse GE ECM. Very lucky, as they only ever installed 2, and 1 was broken (dead brain) the day I stopped in to ask. Problem is, it is just too big for where I have to put anything. Sad when 300w is 'too big'.
I figured on the 3 phases, rectified seperatly, and paralleled, for 12v at a lower rpm. I read your posts about them, and I think the 1/2HP must get higher voltage at a lower speed, but don't really have much of an accurate way to do any tests.
Didn't butcher it yet, just in case something else comes up.
