That's quite the score you've managed there Dennis .... I've seen those go for really silly money in the past, and anything even approaching a deal on one is quite rare!

I don't know if that one was stolen before as Nick suggests ... ;c), but I do know that you've stolen that one now!!!

Seems to run reasonably well, I'm sure you'll get it running a bit better. 😊

I think they are a high  speed engine designed for about 80 psi running at 2800 rpm .
I might have to invest in a serious boiler if i want it to run faster .
