        Mil. surplus 400-Hz. generators (and motor-generator sets) are
        available from time to time from the usual sources -- including
        "Cross Trade A Plane" since they are airborne equipment.

        In the same aviation vein, mil. surplus "ground power units"
        which are comprised of an air-cooled aircraft engine coupled
        to a 400-Hz generator are also available from aviation sur-
        plus dealers and turn up occasionally at amateur aviation
        swap meets/flea markets.

        Manufacturers of airborne electrical equipment require
        400-Hz. power sources for development and testing purposes.
        Ergo, both rotary and solid-state 400-Hz power sources
        are readily available from commercial sources.  Bring money.
        (A lot).
