It did contain some Fluke bits.
Cool! I've spent some Fluke 80xx Series Rabbit Hole Time recently. My collection includes 8021, 8022b, and 2 off 8060a. Naturally, the 8060s are les pièces de la resistànce, but the Completeness Fever is luring, and I've been ogling vintage 8024 and other models too. Has to be cheap, though.
I need the oil for my Honeywell APU which is my next project once I've finished the FRK Rb Clock.
This will need pictures. In my "dreams time" I'm planning my retirement boat, and my current madness amounts to gas turbine-electric high power propulsion with a diesel-electric low speed alternative, seeing as gas turbines only are efficient at near full load. Full load is not going to happen on canals and rivers (although the jury is out on upstream travel on the Rhine; it's reported to be something of a struggle. ) so an efficient "5 knots" machinery option is important.
One below
shows it in the back of SWMBO's Focus. She was not amused when she came out and found me unloading it
The Focus has a flat floor and my car at the time had a step in the rear floor. It was hard enough unloading it single handed from the Ford, I'd never have got it over the step on mine.
It's a Honeywell (Garrett /Airesearch) GTCP36-150RR from a Fokker F28-100. It's a fully dressed engine with 40kW generator, starter HEIU all sensors. It even has the cooling ducts wiring harness and mounting frame. This tells me it was removed from an aircraft being scrapped, not because it was faulty. The only thing is that it is electronically controlled and I don't have the ECU. However the control element is a simple current driven torque motor so fairly simple The problem I had was not knowing what the control current range was. A recent German (BFU) accident report on an F28 APU failure (due to spraying de-icing fluid into the intake) referenceed a much older American (NTSB) report. I looked at that and it mentioned they tested the ECU. I checked the NTSB online "docket" and it contained the ECU test report from Honeywell. The report included the printout from the automatic test equipment and that had the torquer test currents
So nesx move is a good physical check, change the oil, add basic instrumentation (RPM and EGT), fuel valve and starter connections and a manually controlled current source for the torquer and then wake up the locals time
After that it's build a proper control unit.
This is my seventh small gas turbine but the only one I have now. Not sure what I'll do with it but a hybrid electric car is a possibility. As a minimum it will be exhibited as a stationary engine at shows.
