I have a GN-58 which I mounted on an old Sears exercise bicycle frame with suitable 
gearing from old bicycle parts. The Sears exercise bicycle has 1) a rather large heavy 
flywheel, 2) an over-running clutch, and 3) an RPM meter. Pedaling at 60 RPM does the 
trick. The kids think it is fun! :-)

I used it to power my AN/GRC-109 on FD one year.

Originally, the exercise bike had adjustable "brakes" for the flywheel to vary the amount of 
work it took to pedal it. I took all that off.

I once threatened the kids that they would have to pedal an hour for every hour of TV they 
wanted to watch. ;-)
