New Stirling Engine runs slow, real slow.

I bought two styles and one had to go back. This is the replacement that just came today.
I'm super happy with it and it will get down slow, see it in real time action, enjoy.

That one doesn't just go impressively slow ..... it also goes impressively fast!

I have been looking StPaul! There was a vertical on eBay for $79.95 free shipping but low on stock.
Found them on stirlingkit and enginesdiy in for $79.95, both offer 10% off coupon and free shipping so around $72 with the slower free shipping. II have never ordered from these sites so have no idea if good....best I can do so far...
