The "New" Stuart Beam - 1956
« on: December 11, 2019, 07:15:53 pm »
Just added another Cole's catalog, dated August 1956 and found this kind of neat to see... the addition of the Stuart beam

(link should take you to my Flickr page so you can really zoom in and read)

Very cool Nick. I have yet to add one of these to my collection. I have passed on many on eBay. It seems like many offered on eBay have build issues. I would rather have one from a trusted source that has run it on steam.

You are smart to wait for a good one. I found both the beam and half beam on ebay at cheap BIN's. The beam needs work, but luckily the half beam (harder to find) is a good one. I will wait to find a better beam and sell mine on...
