[Milsurplus] 800cps inverter on Craigslist in Portland

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

The inverter is a PE-206-?.  As a couple have noted, it is a little light 
for a GP-(n) or a GO or TBW.  I've had a bunch of them, apparently removed 
from B-17-G's according to the yellow tags on some of them.  I believe that 
they were used to run some type of British made equipment.  The AC output 
connector is a 4-pin from the same family as used on the SCR-522, 542 and 624.  
One of the list members managed to use one of them with a 400 cps Variac to 
run a GP-7, at least in Low Power.  I've sold several others for similar 
purposes but none of the buyers ever reported back.

The maintenance manual on them is AN 08-10-230 (1943) replaced by AN 
16-40PE206-3 (1945).
