Working Pyle National Turbo Generator Type K2 ****SOLD****
Posted: Tue Sep 01, 2020 12:37 am
I have for sale 2 fully functional Pyle National turbo Generators Type K2 in 1.5" scale. These are a slight improvement on my previous unit I sold here as they now incorporate a voltage regulator.
These are my highly detailed lost wax castings which I have turned into working items. The detailing has been reproduced from both the full size items along with reference to the Pyle National service manual. It seems I am the only one in the world producing these and based on how much work goes into each of these I think I might be slightly mad!
Internally they have a hardened shaft on roller bearings, with a bronze turbine driving a 3 phase brushless alternator which is rectified and feed to a built in voltage regulator set for 12V DC. You have a 12V positive and negative connection at the alternator door which can be opened just as the full size does. The steam supply line is 1/8". The turbine starts to spin with around 30psi and is producing full voltage at about 50psi and up.
I would recommend a displacement type oil supply for these as they are spinning very fast and a little lube certainly helps through the turbine.
I am asking US$2000 per item for these which includes tracked shipping worldwide.
