They've been out of business for a while now. I have one in my basement but moved on to KISS and a Duogen D400.

The Windbugger is a 12v dc generator while most of the newer windgens use a big ac alternator. The thing I didn't like about the Windbugger was the fiddly brushes and poorly designed thrust bearing. High maintenance. But at the time (late eighties and early nineties) there weren't too many different windgens on the market and Windbugger was the most popular.
