    I ran across a few the other day.. I have 16 "502-5891" Generators.

    I will be parting with them all to members on our site.

    Please let me know how to get in line for this. I’ve been hunting for a long time to find one - it would be very much appreciated!

    If you'd be willing to sell one of those bad boys to me, I'm looking. The tip cleaner needle is bent on my 502 so it works great on high but doesn't simmer worth a darn.

    My father, the lucky dog that he is, found a 502 sportster BRAND NEW IN BOX, along with the carrying case/ soup pot/fry pan combo, never fired or anything for only ten bucks at a car show. I'm quite jealous hahahah

    I've just purchased a reproduction generator from old Coleman Parts. It's impressive for a handmade part. Not quite as nice to simmer with as a factory part is, but it's more than functional! I'm frying up some zucchini on it right now. 20210802_204153.jpg
