Definitely an easy one to put together  :D  don’t lose your balls  ;)  :D

I put my balls in a sack for safekeeping!  ;D

No empty sack there.

I put mine together this week.

A neat little kit and a nice steam accessory.

Thanks Charlie, wish I would have made the video a little sooner and saved you a couple bucks.

Getting the speed right is tricky with this one, any faster and the balls launch out the top and roll off the table and are easily lost  :D

A larger engine would probably be helpful... the engine does notice the extra weight when a ball enters the wheel, I was thinking a heavy flywheel Jensen 20 would be better to keep the momentum or a twin cylinder like the 55 to keep smooth movement.

A great little accessory Nick!

I ordered one today. 🤠

A very well made video. And a nice use of the Empire Transmission.

This was a $15 Amazon buy, no longer available, but they are on ebay for $22... no modification needed for running on steam, just have to get the speed slow enough with steady movement
