Little Engines has castings for the dummy version. I have a set but I have not built it yet.

I believe that the MO5 (the set with the Quarter) is the same patterns as used in the Mosley design.
There is a bearing recess in the front casting.
I have a design for making it functional and if I ever get my butt in gear, I'll have it published in LS&OR.

Francis Mosley made the Pyle-National MO-6 turbogenerator.

Howard,

You are correct, my mistake (I can always claim the little label is hard to read ;)

There are two original Mosley turbogenerators within our group and my casting match.

I bought them as a dummy turbogenerator set from the vendor that owned them before L.E. (I don't remember the name).
