  Where did you source your Toasty Roasty Man?
  
  Is the peanut canister original?  If not, where did you source it?
  
  It really looks great.

  i bought the Roasty Toasty Man from a friend of mine.
  i just cleaned him up a little and the tumbler ends are brass under the loose crud.
  the original glass was cracked so i sourced one from Amazon,

• i finally found the right reduction gear combination.
  the plain gear did not look right so i found some S-spokes in it.
