billrigsby Posted September 1, 2020 Report Posted September 1, 2020 A freebie on the side of the road, Electro Magic Grime Fighter Model 2500, no idea of year (like I need another project) Maybe a basket case, who knows, definitely missing the coil assembly for heating. Fan/Fuel (kerosene) pump works then binds, Water Pump Motor/Pump seems to work. Not sure why there was a compressor air line with it, but I can always use another. Longshot, can not find a manual, wonder if anyone has one? 1 Quote
Ulu Posted September 2, 2020 Report Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) I have run a few similar units, but no clue about a manual. The copper coil is worth 10 times the rest of the unit, so that’s why it’s gone now. I had a good laugh when I read the number plate. Kidde owned Dura which sold Weaver, but the product was actually made by White-Rogers (pre-Westinghouse ?) then owned by Emerson. I used to work for a company that was owned by Kidde Co, and the organization was just as convoluted. We built aircraft service platforms, but our division was owned by a company which manufactured large mobile cranes. That was owned by a larger company (they, owned by Kidde) which also manufactured fire extinguishers and dishes and cheap stereos, watches & costume jewelry and household items. I was amazed when I saw the octopus of companies under the Kidde banner. Anyhow that aircraft platform business went bankrupt shortly after the end of Vietnam. Edited September 2, 2020 by Ulu Quote
