Overheard on a talk-back Radio show on Friday morning; Apparently there is an Electrical retail business '..in Adelaide's north...' which specialises in 240V gen sets.
As of around 11.30 am Friday morning, their entire stock on hand had sold out and they have over 300 units on back order!
Here in the Riverland area of SA, the local Honda Dealer has sold 3 Gen Sets (around the 3kva size)in the last four days! And has had several enquiries re larger sets.
As for me; I am making the appropriate enquiries.
