Congratulations on solving the problem on your engine.
It almost looked cute the way it went back-n-forth.
The dynamo is good looking, the coiled wires are original
and look cool, and you have the original boulevard style
lamp! Now, you need to find a chimney and you will be set.
This must be the top-of-the-line for Comby engines and I
like yours....and mine
I rec'd one from France, via EBAY, earlier this year.
I was hi-bidder for one a year earlier but the French seller
botched the address, it rambled around the northest US for
a while, and then wound up back in France. A real bummer
So, it needed a new sightglass, the burner needed work and
the boulevard lamp is missing. I took care of the sightglass,
used a burner from my Comby Twin, steamed it up, gave it a
spin, and off it went. The dynamo worked, and while running
I realized the engine exhausts into the base of the chimney
with no way to drain away. I rigged some tubing to route
the exhaust away. I've since added a 'MARX' 'shorty' spotlight
for demonstration and used a flat magnet (5-second solution) to
stick it to the base. Looked and around for a video as it is
now but realized I never made one of the finished work. Well,
soon for that.
Happy steaming,
Wayne
