My recent DHL shipment from Germany took right around 2-1/2 months, don’t expect any updates as it’s traveling either... :-\

I may get to be the guinea pig on this generator kit. I contacted Bengs and told them if they could fit a generator kit into my Big Laura box without increasing the high shipping cost, I would try one....they agreed. Now we wait as they use DHL and my experience has been over 30 days shipping with DHL :-[

Does look quite complex.

Hopefully this link will work. I have not found this on there website yet but have had good luck contacting them and they will remove VAT tax to product shipped to USA if you ask.

I do not own one of these yet. It does require machine work. The manufacturer claims even a small Stirling engine can spin it but not a lot of output. They say it will light one incandescent bulb or several LED lights. Uses the guts from a modern DC motor.
I like the little lifting eyebolt and adjustable base. Oil cups are nice touch to.
I will try to post a link...shipping likely expensive from Germany.
If you follow the link you should see photo of both sides and also what it might look like if you paint it.
