Well I finally am close to a retry. I had some shaft collars reworked to hold the eccentrics  in place then I discovered that the eccentric hubs are really a spacer  so now I have to make a special plate to go on one ide of tccentric to make up for this it will have a built new clamp to allow rotation if he eccentric

I also made a pistons valve setting tool. I threaded a piece of 1/4”
Brass pipe with 2/4- 40ME  thread using the die I got from PMResearch . Initially it came out like a cork scre as it’s hard to run thirds straight not using the lathe . By grading three  nuts on the cork screw I was able to straighten it using a small bench vice . So I no can set al 4 piston valves xactly as needed. Using stem completely changes the string but I’m only using compressed ai so I Voss that budget when I get to it  I got new much more flexible air line and better quick couplers  also got two more turbines and semi scal generators have not hooked them up yet. I have both tooth belt and o ring belts available and reduction pulleys so the turbines don’t over speed the generators  I have a dime light type socket coming today that allows either led or incandescent light bulbs  and a 10 turn potentiometer . I have capacitors to smooth the output too so more diddly work to do .
