I have a fairly rare model Economy hit/miss engine that I bought 2 years ago at an engine show. Ever since then I have wanted to find one as a casting kit so I could build one myself. Problem is, they haven't been cast in about 30 years and finding an unmachined set of castings is next to impossible, until yesterday!
While at the show, an old gentleman came in to the exhibition room Where i happened to be and asked the person next to me if they would be interested in an Economy casting kit for $35! That person bought without any hesitation, knowing ANY hit/miss casting kit had to be worth that!
Long story short, I ended up coming home with it, even though I had to pay a lot more than $35!
Still, I was just thrilled that they would part with this rare find.
