    Hi guys,

    short time ago I received this electrified but quite decent 242:

    For over one month anybody wanted her so I made an offer an purchased her for a quite reasonable price. Luckily the electrification was done carefully via the collar-holes. Definetely not Safe but also not destructrive. The frame-nut was soldered directly to the bulb socket. No big problem.

    But.... a big problem are the missing parts. I thought it would be easy to get a T66/200 Generator here in Europe. But it isn't....
    Generator nut, burner and burner tube are also missing.
    And there is a hole drilled in the mixing chamber just beneath the hood mounting stud. But I think I can fix this relatively easy with cutting a thread and sealing the hole with a matching screw.

    This is how she looks now.

    Pump and valve are working.

    Yesterday I tried to order the missing parts at OCP but it seems that shipping cost increased so much that I was shocked.
    Does anybody know or have a source for these (quite Common) parts in Europe? I would be sooo happy see her lighting. Used condition is no problem.

    Best regards

    Roman
