WTB Turbo Encabulator

Anybody have one of these they are willing to sell?   I'm especially interested in the version with P/N ending in -17, which indicates functionally variable reflectance with double stator imposivity.  Negative reluctance version not desired. 

Thanks!

The retro-encabulator is the Rockwell version that does nearly the same thing.   Might be an option if there's not a turbo-encabulator available.

Thanks.  Maybe one of our newer members can offer one of those!  I'd prefer the original as made by Allis-Chalmers though.

Does the original machine have a base-plate of prefabulated aluminite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings are in a direct line with the pentametric fan?

I think I have one of these in the garage:

Its a GE version and I know that’s not the one you are looking for, but if this one will work, hit me up.

You got to love the crapalloy case. The rich Corinthian tungsten.

Yes!   Good catch!   All true, except the A-C design replaced spurving bearings with anachroic helecoidal units housed in a rendundant plenum to avoid the known problem with want of lubricity.

I'm on my second overhaul of a 1966 Turbo Encabulator and I'm still amazed at the intricacy of the divergent girdle spring installation, alongside the spurving bearing case and the lunar waneshaft. Magnificent engineering and execution!

I appreciate the desire to keep things stock and "use the right tool for the right job", but maybe you should just retrofit the original setup with an oscillation overthruster? Simpler approach, arguably. And no need to keep checking inverse reactive current every 25 hrs. 

*PP thoughts only...

I've considered that... but it creates a challenge because I don't think it will couple to the KC192 autopilot computer without over-driving the interelectrode diffusion integrator.  Of course, Garmin sells a total solution, but I don't want to drop 65 AMU's on that turnkey solution.

BTW- a couple of weeks ago I received a DM from a MS noob  (0 posts) saying that they have one for sale.   When I asked how much they wanted for it, I got no reply.   Drat.  Still looking.
