Thank you, Charlie. I should have taken a couple pictures of it as found in the auction.

Gill that is amazing looking, it couldn't have been too grungy. I notice that the area where it's setting is a bit, mmm, well cluttered.
Now I have this new place and with just me here,  there is plenty of extra room. If you like I could put some of those in, let's say,
 storage for you and the best part would be for FREEEEEEE!


Thanks, Tommy.  Yes.... I do have a bit of clutter. It is all good clutter!

That's very nice, Gil.

And it would be fun to see what it looked like when you got it.

That engine will look marvelous with right bolts. Saw it in person during bidding, and the gears mechanism makes it very special

I saw what it looked like at the auction and it was rough. 

You did a really nice job restoring this one Gil!
