Did you see anyplace where it said 60 hertz? Or 60 Cycle? Because if you didnt, it could be a 400 hertz, or 400 cycle. Something you cant use.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Hi Tokiozulu.Our house has one of those new fangled digital power meters that has an instantanious kW reading. I've been monitoring it lately to see what size gen to get. It's a pretty big all elec house with 2 x 3 ton ac comps - one for rooms and one for common areas. Meter runs anywhere from 1.6kw with no ac to 16+ kW. I've opted for an 802a 5kw unit. Plan to install soft or will try hard start on the ac comps and manage power. Room ac at nights - common area unit in the day - pool pump can go on when the ac is off etc. I don't want to be dealing with twice the fuel the 10kw unit would suck and wet stacking would probably be an issue if I didn't manage power in an additive way. We just had a week without power on the HD special screamer gas job so I'm looking forwards to receiving the unit I won at auction this evening. Hope there is nothing wrong with it.
Like DA said if it runs well it could be worth it. I would expect brand new or at least functional batteries in the unit for that price however.Is below mep803a for sale with 4000 hrs
a good deal?

Based on dieseladdict's comment above,
What's a fair price for 802a and 803a on Craigslist or someone reselling them or from a Gov liquidator action type site?
We do need to keep in mind that markets have a strong emotional component. My comments quoted are from the standpoint of a market mostly free from external emotional forces. Forces such as we are currently experiencing in the wake of multiple hurricane strikes.Good notes below: from another thread titled 802a vs 803a

Hey, the market is always rational, we just had irrational actors that use it , and the efficient market these days includes the fear selling news, and the doomsdayers and the rational-irrational fears that result! The utility of generators seems to be very high right now.We do need to keep in mind that markets have a strong emotional component.

The market in your area may not be a rational market. You'll need to be extra vigilant in your search for the right generator. Look for corrosion, carbon arcing, and signs of abuse (and a very long list of other things). Make sure it starts easily cold and will pull its full rated load without drama.
Its not much different than the used car market. There are a few gems in and among a lot of rubble. Shop carefully and deliberately.
Hello Jana. Do you have any more 803a for about $2,500?That price on the 5168 hour unit is high. I just sold an 803a with 2600hours for $2500 with new optima red tops. But I will say that prices at the auction have been increasing and prices are around $2,000 plus before taxes now.

I've got one a trailer that will be $2500 with around 3000 hours but it looks to have a new engine. I can't confirm the new engine but looks new compared to the genset. The trailer is junk, the pintle hitch is twisted slightly. It will also have 2 new optima red tops when I'm finished.Hello Jamawieb .
Do you have anymore mep-803a for sale with similar hours for around $2,500?
