Dual Windseeker 503 Wirerun [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

It's been months since I've seen this install and these are the only
Windseeekers I've dealt with.  From a pretty shaky memory the controllers
are built into the turbine itself.  Coming down from both turbines is 24 VDC
nom.  They look like AC Delco alternators with a white paint job and blades
bolted where the pulley is supposed to be.
