This recent ebay purchase arrived today. It appears to have never been run and came in half of the original box, which includes a picture of the engine and what I assume are the instructions written in German on the inside of the lid. I'll have to find a translator for the instructions!
It is missing the bellows and the cap that covers the flame and directs it into the cylinder, but fortunately I have the pattern to make the bellows and have figured out the proper material to use, as well. I could take the cap off of another Rebi engine that I own for testing purposes, but I'll have to make a reproduction cap eventually. All of the Rebi vacuum engines are hard to find, but this vertical one is probably the rarest of the various maodels Rebi produced, and I'm happy to find one in this condition.
