Cool, I always thought it was for the 47 but that other stuff makes much more sense. Anyway it not cheap, think he is talking about wanting $500 for that little genset.

Subject: Re: [MMRCG] PRC-47 generator

Hi Ray - Those are interesting little generators.  A "semi-COTS" design based on a chain saw engine...The Army bought 1531 of them in 1966/67 but I think they were intended for use with the GRC-109 and probably the RS-6 sets at the time.  I have powered my sets with one and it does the job just fine.  They will power a PRC-47 but probably only in low power mode.  Here's a bit of a writeup I did to include this gen with some field experience around here: https://www.n6cc.com/gensets-for-an-grc-109-etc/

Cheers, Tim

Hear is something you don’t see every day, it’s a XLA115/1/400 two cycle Homelite 125-watt 400 cycle generator for the PRC-47, appears to be NOS and never used. It’s not mine but saw this up at Supply Depo X-Ray last night in Delaware. If you are one of those people who are into the PRC-47 this is your opportunity to pick up something that’s not that common. You can contact me directly and I can provide the contact details.
