Hi Arnie,

I don't have any pictures of my soon to be new baby.
It didn't look all that big to me.
It is on a small wheeled cart.

One of those 32V. motors I listed powers the hacksaw.
You stand there next to the saw and lamp smiling at folks.
When one stops you ask if they would like to see the saw run.
Then you tell them to flip the switch and the light plant sitting in the back of his pickup starts up then the saw starts.
Just turning on the lamp is not enough to excite the Delco.
Bill is very great at displaying this Delco because he grew up with one just like it.
He tells folks he was 12 when his dad couldn't get it to run.
Dad went to work so Bill opened it up and played with it.
Then he started it for his Mom.
When Dad came home he gave the Delco to Bill to maintain.

I will have to work out my own speel I guess. 8>))

Hi Alan,

Is that power hacksaw also 32V?  Man, that sure does sound like an awesome
display!  Any pictures of it?  Is it one of the bigger light plants?

See ya,  Arnie
