Ok, I have the Powerhouse 500 watt monster and it is designated for primary use and now the Ultra HUGE MONSTER Onan "Tag Along" generator boasting a massive....ready.....450 watts of Raw Power!
Last thing I needed was another generator but this one looked really nice but ran terrible (felt sorry for it) so I picked it up for $80.00, made a minor carb adjustment and presto, starts first pull and runs like a charm.
Now thoroughly cleaned, waxed and ready to go!
Amazing how times have changed, Onan weighs 40 pounds dry while the PH weighs 12 pounds, PH is 1/2 the size but the Onan lets you adjust power output, new stuff doesn't.
The next one I am looking for is a 1963 Honda 300 watter to complete me!
All in all I am ready for winter!

I have a co-worker who picked up a Honda 350 watter for $5 at a garage sale. He brought it to work, just gummed up carb, cleaned it all out, runs perfect. Quiet as a mouse.

Its perfect, both in appearance and operation. I dont know if he would sell it. I will ask him today. His wife gave him greif for spending the $5 on it, then a power outage and it supplied the lighting for their house. She is no longer giving him greif.

I'm pretty sure my Dad has one too. It was his Dad's so I doubt he would sell it.

Asked co worker, its going to get dynamite to make him part with it. It is a 2 stroke, but its small, quiet and compact. Its perfect condition too.
Keep an eye open on craigslist, just be forever vigilant and also ebay. But ebay stuff can sell for a good chunk at times.

Fisrt it has to be in very good overall condition and running as parts are very difficult to find and this would be bought as a collectible with pricing for a nice one around the mid $350 to 500 area again depending on condition, there are generator collector clubs online that may be able to get you a better idea if you are looking to sell... ..if you have some good picts please post, you never know.
