New project awaits its turn...

One key point is the equipment complement with the vehicle in the below photo. I'm having a hard time identifying a few of the items. The type/brand of generator eludes me at the moment.

The generator is a Mite E Lite, manufactured by the Heath Corporation. They were later produced by (and more commonly found) McCulloch Corporation, but the fuel tank / air cleaner was slightly different.

Correction to above post:

Hearth Industries made the Mite E Lite, not Heath.

Wow! Can't say enough good about how much the PCS and its members have helped me with our vehicles. Two vexing questions solved just like that...

THANK YOU Steve Loftin and Jacob Fournier!

Is that sitting inside of a turkey house? whats the red things that look like heat lights or something? Diffently a unique vehicle, hope you post lots of pictures on the rebuild. Is that a 4 wheel drive?

I was doing a little online research on the Robinson Orthopedic Stretcher we discussed via email, and ran across this photo - it looks like another Christopher in the background to me. Too bad more can't be seen of it.

Mr. John: As mentioned in the post - photos were taken in its previous storage location. I am surprised that it is 2WD.

Jacob - That is a cool photo, raised roof could be it - but maybe a Challenger? http://www.professionalcarsociety.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3766

Robinson's are neat pieces of equipment indeed.

Steve Loftin expertly determined that the cot in question is a Ferno Model 54 elevating cot. This would be the standard height model, as seen in http://www.professionalcarsociety.org/forums/showpost.php?p=30691&postcount=12 . Does anyone have leads on where to find one?

Two more mysteries I'm curious about:

1. Oddball Fyr-Fyter siren controller powers the electronic siren speaker that mounts on the roof is on the driver's side. Oddball control panel in the middle with pull switches for the lights and so forth is in the middle. On the right is what appears to be the mount for the old radio. You can see the cables track to there. I don't recognize the bracket though - doesn't appear to be Motorola. Any guesses?

2. I presume these holes on the side of the ambulance are for a radio antenna. It's missing in all photos I've seen of the truck since it came on the market, and can't see it in original photos. What does the hive mind think?

For fun, here's a nice Christopher ad I found and purchased on eBay.

standard large base whip antenna and it would look to be a CB radio mount I have a dozen of so of them.
