Re: GAS-L: Allied Signal Microturbine

[LINVENT@aol.com]

Dear Phillip,
    Honeywell bought Allied Signal and made it under their name. They made 
quite a few of them at their plant here in Albuquerque at the old Levi 
Strauss plant. I met with the VP in charge of the division prior to them 
opening the plant here. It was a very interesting conversation.
    They were not able to either sell the systems or convince GE to buy the 
company Honeywell, and simply shut the doors. Most of the parts are sitting 
at a metals scrap yard a mile south of my office. Large crates of solenoids, 
brand new 1400˚F SS heat exchangers, starters, frames, housings, electrical 
controls, hoses, thousands of hoses, and so on. The scrapyard said that for 
two weeks they were completely busy unloading semi-load after semi-load of 
components from them. It is a gold mine for me. 
    I bought a 75 Kw natural gas engine generator set for $19,000. The 
Honeywell system was about $80,000 for the same output. Go Figure! The last 
word that I heard or read was that they made about 150 and had 75 in 
inventory when they closed their doors. The City I think lost a lot of bond 
money on the plant closing. 
    Anyhow, more to say, but that is the primary story. Any questions?
