Thanks Charlie.  Thanks Jim, and Thanks Parallel Motion. 

I have Picked this up and it is my possession.  It is in fairly nice condition for its age but is going to need some work before it runs. 

I had to replace all of the wicks in the burner to give it a quick trial run, but no success there.  A lot of smoke pouring out from the cylinders around the pistons so I think a previous owner had maybe oiled the cylinders liberally and there is a lot of oil residue burning out.

Hopefully soon I will get it running and but up a video.
