Tarot Engine
« on: April 07, 2021, 05:44:54 am »
Well I have been keeping an eye on their stock and they now have a stock availability date,
So I ordered a new Tarot enlarged Stirling engine today from the Bangood site @ £87.71 which didn't seem to bad.
They are not in stock yet but they are expecting them in stock before may 15th.
When checking my order status it confirms the order is processing and will be shipped before May 15th

Regards Brian

Hi all, I had a note with tracking details today from Bangood. My Tarot engine has been despatched and the promised delivery to UK is 24th May. Interestingly their site still says it will be back in stock soon.

LOL and glows in the dark Ben  ;D

Banggood have been using that "sterilized the package" since mid last year now, probably just something they say I reckon to make us buyers feel safe and spend more $$$.

Hi guys
My tarot engine arrived to fron China to UK,thats 10 days earlier than promised.
The box had a small hole in it but nothing ha penetrated the internal bubble wrap or either external vinyl sleeves.
After a little light lubrication it started easily and ran for 30 minutes on one fill of meths.
You can feel the power on the end of the crank. This will certainly drive some gear with a suitable pulley. I am pleased with it.
