Wincharger restoration parts needed
« on: February 10, 2014, 06:31:17 PM »
Hello,
I've signed up here to get help finding parts for my Wincharger restoration project.

I have one like the attached image, and I got it from a friend but the gen is froze up (rust) and no propeller or mounting tower.
Maybe I should resort to finding a different unit, but I'm on a tight budget and I like the antique aspect of it as being one of the originals.

All I really want to do with this is use it as a demonstration model for local activities and promote renewable energy for the do-it-yourselfer.

Please email me if you have any parts or info.
Thanks.
Dan N.

Keep an eye on eBay stuff turns up from time to time.
 I would soak the generator and take it apart and see what all is wrong with it.
 The original charge controllers show up now and then on ebay also.
 I have one I'm collecting parts for , Mainly need the blade now.
