This pair was sitting at the auction too. Have come close to buying one a few times. Didn't bid on these, and already have enough (extra stuff) sitting around. Don't ask what they went for, don't know, as they were running 3 auction rings at once, and I was elsewhere. Wonder if the power is solid enough to run a household when the power goes down? When I've used them to weld, love it when the governor opens up.

My dad had one of those years ago. I think it had a continental engine in it (?)
As I remember it only has one 15 amp outlet on it, they usually were just intended for tools with universal motors , I wouldn't plug a fridge or such into it. Worked fine for welding tho, lots of iron, nice stable arc.
Things weigh a TON tho, just barely qualify as 'portable'....
(He sold it when he bought the Miller)
The ones in the pic don't look all that well cared for, You could probably find one in a lot better shape...

120 volt power is from the exciter generator of the SA 200.
It's only 1000 or 1500 watts DC.
Not much help keeping a house running.
