Pat'd 1871 Frisbie's Beam Engine
« on: November 01, 2019, 11:50:02 pm »
Not the best original paint and the green/red is repainted (likely in the 1970's), but it was in decent shape and more importantly, affordable  :D

Nick:

Could you post a picture of the burner with dimensions?

I need to make a burner for mine.

Another great addition to your collection!

Here is a picture of mine.

Thanks Charlie, yes I will get some pictures and dimensions, but I cannot guarantee that it is original... I am sure the fill plug is not original (would have likely just been a small hole) and also not sure about the handle...

Have you run yours on air or steam?

Thanks Nick.

I tried mine unsuccessfully. You have motivated me to try again. 🤠

The nozzle is perplexing...
How does the safety valve work?

The "nozzle" is just an air line fitting from the previous owner.

The safety valve simply pops up, but with the spring on the outside of the boiler. I'll take a close up picture for you...
