If you are in this hobby for a while you have probably asked yourself
why several times. Why am I a sucker for Elektro's? I guess it is because
I think they are cool. I have that under control now.
This engine is cool, but that heater setup is positively the most massive
looking heating element I have ever seen, outside of a stove. Have you
checked it for continuity and measured the resistance? Is it 110 or 220?
The engine for $1650.....seems a bit steep unless it is a true rarity.
Good luck,
