If you haven't been there, go to

http://www.elec-trak.org

and look under resources; esp. the GE Service Manual Collection

Lots of good info there, though some of it is PDF's from poor quality
microfiches (I am NOT complaining!)

I don't think I've seen the rotary inverter there, though. I assume the
inverter is similiar to ones some of us bought of ebay (non-GE). If so it
should run almost anything in its power range as it is pure sine wave
output. Something that has a really big starting current may cause trouble 
I
would think. Others correct me if I'm wrong.

Actually now that I think about it, without the manuals the entire lot is
worthless - I can come by and get rid of it for you ;-)
