I bought this generator from on eBay after someone on the forum talked about it. The seamed a
little high but with a total of about 89.00 US dollars it looked good to me. I have to say I have never
seen a better back item in all my days buying on eBay. So it was worth the extra postage to get it in great shape.
I thought that the wood board a little small. So I made it bigger and added a switch for the light and
added two terminals for running a motor. Here is what I did to the generator kit from Austria.

That´s a purchase you won´t regret Carl, Kurt Berger makes great gennys, with a very nice output.
I agree with the size of the original bases, and really like what you´ve done to yours there.
A way more stable and versatile solution, with the switch and outlets on there as well.
Good job !!!
Wow Carl, that is one heck of a great improvement!! I bought one of these many years ago, plus an extra genny/pulley set for a lower price than the lamp post set. I really like the added terminals and of course the switch is fun to flick on and off when running with an engine to see the effect a load has.
I was just looking for an engine on the shelf yesterday and flicked the pulley by hand on mine and was surprised how well it lit the bulb.
:ooutNice work Carl , I have always been a fan of these & have wanted one for quite some time now, I thought he had quit making them , but am encouraged to see a new one show up for display , thank for showing this & you have certainly improved upon it !
I like what you did with this! I bought this same generator several years ago and now i think i will have to make some improvements, after seeing what you have done with yours.

Thanks for your reply’s and I will try to get the video I made with a
Meccano motor later today.
Nice one Carl, i've seen these generators pop up from time to time on UK eBay and know a few people that own them. I like what you have done with the base on yours!
Thanks for your reply’s and I will try to get the video I made with a
Meccano motor later today.
Looking forward to that Carl
That looks really nice Carl.
Excellent purchase Carl. I got mine from Geoff Swales (ozsteamdemon) when he had his dispersal sale. I love mine. Best generator I have for sure.
Carl, it's a thing of beauty. I had one of these years ago but sold it on...wish now I did not !!! Might have to remedy that.

That’s a pretty nice setup Carl. Looks great.
I must be slow
I purchased via ebay years ago one of these generators with multiple pulleys no lamp,.
As of yet i have done nothing with it .
Cheers
