To the OP; What model are you looking for and what do you expect to pay?
Op here...
Thanks for all responses.
Honda 1000 that are 3 or 4 years old, from a local couple at Elks club. He had a "mini" stroke" and they feel their boondocking days are over with. They'll said "any future camping will be within cell phone range for medical reasons". They want $800 for each ($1,600 total). The main unit and the companion. I think price is a bit high and only a couple hundred below what I could buy new. They also know that about the price and told me to look around and make them an offer. I'm thinking not going over $600 each or $1200 for both.
The ones I see on Craig list which is not many are also high priced IMO. Not to mention couple hours travel time involved to check them out.
And being that my older style generator got stolen from my carport, I know these I am looking at are not stolen, at least 95 percent sure.
I thought I read on here it is a good idea to check the "frequency" of the voltage. Maybe I have this wrong in my mind, I don't know for sure. Is there a way to check the "frequency" to insure the "quality" of the elec being produced. (Not sure if I'm using right term.)
