I was quite surprised as well!
Assumed it would go high for a 20, but when deducting the value i would have set on a standalone Omega generator, there´s still enough left for a nice Jensen 50.

However, it is extremely rare seing a powerplant with this generator.
So if i was aiming to complete a collection, getting close to it and had the funds available, i would most likely have gone "all in" as well.
No telling if another comes up within the next decade...eventhough this impressive sale does help raising the chance that one or more will.

Thanks both of you! I’m not a “collector” of high end stuff. (I don’t think!) But I remember Nick traveling a while back to buy a rare generator worth a lot. I had a hunch it might be rare generator on original plant.
So I learn. I haven’t run anything since winter but I have a red tag 65 and a red tag 75 coming from yesterday’s auctions. That’s probably a total of 25 engines but I’m not a collector!(?)
