GT 15 Gas Turbine by Adolph Saurer

[JonQPublik]

I have two GT 15 Gas Turbines from Adolph Saurer. Both are equipped with pull starters. My question is, does any one know any thing about these turbine engines, serial no.s 014 and 026?

Probably one of the most unique gas turbines in the world the Saurer GT15. The GT15 was the worlds smallest production gas turbine in the mid 1960s, it is virtualy the size of many model engines which we know today. For many years it was suggested that very small engines were impossible to produce, this engine disproves this.
Adolf Saurer LTD of Arbon in Switzerland was a large heavey engineering company producing trucks, railway locomotives and deisel engines. The GT15 gas turbine was sold for use as a small APU and also for portable generating equipment.Only 22 units were delivered for use as the APU on the Hansa HFB320 biz jet.

What do you think the value is for these two:

I am looking to sell them.

What do you think the value is for these two:

It's not a matter of what they are 'worth', it's what you can get out of them. Do they run?

1. We have a Buy and Sell section -- put an advertisement up there.
2. Also, if I were you, I'd join a Turbine Engine group and try to peddle them there.
3. If you need the cash and can't wait, you could 'go for broke' on eBay if you don't have much in them.

Good Luck.
