As a hobbyist, I built this to power my workshop and for emergency backup power by following the advice found here - thanks gang! Works well to power my welder. No emergency use needed - yet. I has used less than a tank of fuel, so it is probably not or barely broken in.
It is located near Atlanta, GA, USA. I am posting on Craigslist locally and we'll see what happens.

Anyone have a lead on such things?

OK, new guy questions again...

I am about to hook up a muffler system for my 10/1 and it looks like a good excuse for a welder purchase. I also will want to build a frame for the engine. Now for the funny part - I have no welding experience!    

FWIW, from my friend Mr. Google it seems MIG would be a good system, using flux-core wire.

I am cheap, but rationally so - I don't want to pay less and then buy again, if you know what I mean. So, any opinions?

I would sure be interested in ordering a set of spares. If I could team up with someone else doing the same, we can combine the orders and take advantage of reduced shipping. (I would think) Has this been tried before? Is anyone interested?

OK, so now I've got my Power Line 10/1 and it's apart - mostly. So far, it's proven to be pretty much like they say - reasonably nice outside, very gritty inside. It sat for a couple of years so there is some surface rust in the cylinder  hopefully that will hone out. But with so much grit inside, I think I'd best be replacing the bearings including the TRBs.

Does anyone have a US part # for the TRBs, or is that a take-it-to-the-bearing-shop deal?

Also, is there a US source for gaskets and/or other parts for the 10/1? I think it has a 4.75" bore...

And, is there someone with a gibb key remover available now? Mike Montieth's out of stock. 

Ah, I have questions!

I've been to Utterpower and read about why the PS ST head is the best. How does that tally for folks who own them? Does a plastic fan really affect the reliability? Is the weight a real factor? As an example locally a fellow sells an ST-5 head which weighs about 250lbs and has a plastic fan. I think the PS unit is said to weigh 295lbs and has a metal fan. I'd guess the PS unit has better bearings? or at least better grease? Is there any correlation between clean waveform output and weight/price?

So, other than buying them and trying them out, how does one pick a good ST gen? Are there good indicators to watch for? To watch out for?

BTW, I use the PS unit as the example due to the wealth of detail on the Utterpower site, not to point to it in particular... 

PS, do they really use "Yak fat"?
