I'd bring my ECCT and let anyone use it for free....but I'm pretty sure my spot won't have electricity access.

One thing to consider if coil adjusting at Chickasha is successful; be prepared to tightly wrap each coil in a sleeve of cardboard that extends above the coil points to protect them from getting bumped in transit home and observe care during coil box installation or all the effort is for naught.
Coil points are much more vulnerable to misalignment than most folks are aware. Properly adjusted coils must be handled and installed carefully following adjustment.
Here are the dimensions for making the protective cardboard sleeves:
Secure with packing tap on Side, Top and Bottom. Will ensure save for shipping or transport without risk of detuning.

FWIW, I will have my coil test equipment at my spaces. NF 9 & 10.

I need to load up my whole car and bring it so you can look at the generator R.V. Anderson.
You rebuilt mine for me about a year ago and I can't get it to charge correctly.

Don, I don't rebuild generators; could you be thinking of Ron Patterson? I buy rebuilt generators from him. Wonderful work.

A few years ago I brought mine just to have Mike Bender drive it and listen to it.
