Thanks Nick.

I have it in pieces now.

Lots of rust in the boiler.

Trying to clean it up.

I had the same thought on the Boiler, but it will not budge. So far, I have not removed the boiler and Firebox from the base.

Such a nice, original and unique piece  8)

I do think you need to slide the boiler back into place  ;)  may have slid forward in shipping?

The lathe is made by Prefo, I have a few boxed ones that I bought from Gil years back (both types of lathes and can't remember what else...) They have a base that was also sold to mount the tools on that's shown in your picture.

Unfortunately, I am away right now, so had to watch your video in silence, I will have to remember to come back and check it out.

GPM (VEB Geräte und Pumpenbau, Merbelsrod) with Original Advertising Poster

Post-WW II Model Steam Engine produced in East Germany.

All original and complete with instructions and box. I understand the red plastic condensate dish is often missing.

The model lathe is also pictured in the advertisement.

Roly Williams has a nice page on his.
