JohnAlf Posted August 2, 2019 Report Posted August 2, 2019 Hello all. I recently purchased a lamp ( of all things) at an estate sale. The lamp was made from a gear type piece from an Apache helicopter. I was told this was a gift to the owner from the company he worked for which supplied this part. There was various manuals laying around this item alluding to this fact. I bought this lamp for my young grandsons bedroom. I just would like to know. Is this legit? What actual part is this called? Where is it located on the helicopter? Thank you for any insight. I paid 10 times less for it than they asked and I think regardless of it was legit it was worth the 20 dollars. Thank you for any insight! Quote
Thedude Posted August 7, 2019 Report Posted August 7, 2019 Type out all the numbers on it and I’ll check to see if it’s still a part in inventory. Quote
superstallion6113 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Cage code 07482 is the GE cage code. With that being the case I'm going to assume it's a gear from the accessory drive gearbox section of a T700 engine on an Apache (assuming it really is from an Apache). With a better pic of the part number it'd be easy to figure it out. Edited August 7, 2019 by superstallion6113 Quote
