OK I am in bed now.....
 
But first I carefully unpacked it and carefully removed a fair amount of the loose crud on it.
 
I will get some pictures up tomorrow.
 
It was very well packed and remained upright and unstacked all the way here.
 
Good night all,
 
Gil

The burner is interesting to me as I was expecting to see a triple element set up.
 
Instead it has one long tube.

A lovely looking engine you have obtained there Gil,   I look forward to seeing it cleaned up and running,  no doubt another office of steam treasure there.

Hi Gil,
 
Some of the early versions had that kind of burner. I have seen it before.
In fact I like them more than the independent seperate flares as you get more uniform heat distribution at the boiler surface this way like the burner for the Stuart 504. Very nice engine.

the cleaning of that piece of mechanical art must be one of the highlights of this year for you, just the right amount of dirt
 
I love those two little coiled wires.
 
congratulations Gil.

Most of the crud was just laying there.
Here it is after the initial vacuum and wipe down.
