Atkinson GSCM-mini [RE-wrenches]

<x-flowed>


Mick,

We used the Atkinson GCSM with the OutBack FX and a 1960 vintage Onan  
propane 3 wire start generator and it's working well so far.  There's  
a photo and brief description on our web site (brookssolar.com/news/ 
OwenCabin.html).  If further details are needed, contact me off list.

Good luck,

Randy Brooks
