^^^I think it looks to be a better-built version of the score. Does it run as nice as it looks? Got any rough dimensions?

It's very precisely built and runs smooth as butter on air, now that I have un-seized it (it sat around for about 20 years, I think). I love the finish on the flywheel.

As for size, it's about the same as a Stuart Score (I have one).

Oh. Here's its sister engine, which looks like a 10V clone. Too bad about the screws and locknuts, is all.

I didn’t realize Giovanni was a Stuart dealer. I purchased a beautiful Stuart No. 1 from him in 2018.
Not sure for how long... just know that he mentioned being a dealer in the '80's

Love that No. 1  8)

My Score arrived without the proper pipework.

I have ordered the necessary fittings from Stuart (pricey) and hope to get it running soon.

Nice engine.

I got this last week. Does it look to you like a home-built version of the Score?

After owning a poorly built Score for many years, I was very happy to win the auction of Giovanni's from Italy in May of 2018. He was a Stuart dealer and had owned the engine since new in the '80's.

And this was my first test run with a Jensen boiler. I believe this was the engine's first run on steam, but it was a little too wet...
