.... I like the futuristic appearance of this engine as it looks like it came straight from the set of Flash Gordon or Buck Rodgers!!

The Ross Yoke linkage is also very nice and i'm pleased to say it runs beautifully.

There is a special added joy when getting a new engine if it actually runs when you first start it up. It never ceases to amaze me how many oriental engines cost plenty good money , arrive broken or defective, then it’s the labor of the new owner to fix the darn things. Not so with those English Kontax, right out-of-the-box and they run great. Run great long time too !

Ahhh yes, 1929 Buck Rodgers disintegrator gun 25th century retro-futuristic. A nice accessory in the capable hands of adventurous Wilma Deering.
