I have it listed on several sites, asking $12500.00. about 20% of what I have found comparable new for sale. I have had a bunch of interest, the price is negotiable. I did get a bit more information on it. it was operational when removed from its last installation, unfortunately the control panel got sold before buddy died.

This unit came from a small mine, several houses and the bunk house as well as the mine operation. I would think this belongs in a run of the river hydro electric project to feed the grid as it is very industrial not home hobby.

First post,
Just stumbled across a Platt Iron Works Pelton wheel turbine, attached to a General Electrics ATB generator.
Tag on generator,
240 volt
90 amp
3 phase
30kw.
Pelton turbine assembly looks to be unused, generator is complete and has been used. Both turn freely by hand. have no history other than it has been stored in a barn for decades.
Is there a market for these items? I have done a little searching and have not really found anything this heavy duty in the 30kw range and the few that were close are pricy buggers.
This unit has an 18 inch down to 12 adapter tube that bolts to the intake, at 18 inch penstock it will need a bit of water to run.
