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).
