Warbird Information Exchange

Folks,

a neighbor of mine who's husband passed away dug out a GE Supercharger. See the picture of the data plate below; and I've attached more pictures to this email.

I seem to have little luck locating any information on it online besides a single mention on this forum dating back to 2008 that it was used on B17s and B24s..

It is assembled; and as much as I can tell from inspecting it w/o disassembly; it seems okay: i didn't find any cracks or significant corrosion...

Now, the reason why I got it is 'cause that neighbor knew that I'm a part of aviation community; and she was trying to see if anyone would be interested in picking it up: and possibly making her a compensation offer...

Im trying to see if anyone here would be interested in it: and possibly making the lady an offer.

I will be more than happy to take more pictures or help you in any other way to determine if it's useable...

I have a bunch of pictures I took of it; they're all available here: http://bit.ly/1JzEViN

Folks,

Seemingly (since I just registered) I don't seem to be able to reply to PMs

Not sure how to resolve this aside from asking you to send me an email or something ... I would gladly respond then: for obvious reasons, I wouldn't want to post my email out here on the wide open page..

Ill also contact the moderators to see if they can remove restriction on my sending messages.
