Hi
Yes that's right a black base, seems fairly durable.

Yes it’s a black base, some sort of anodised coating. One of the pins on the end of the swinging beam comes out. I am thinking of putting a little dab of cyno on it , of course I may want to strip it in the future.
-
Are the new production units coming with black base?....this one looks like black anodized aluminum to me.
-
You will really enjoy this engine Brian.
-
Good news , these are among the best values out there imho.
-
It´s a beaut, congratulations!
-
Congrats, Brian
Good news indeed!

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.

Also found it interesting the tracking shows they "sterilized" the package yesterday....hope the procedure was not harmful to Stirling engine ::)
Sent via Chernobyl ;D
Sweet! I never had a Nuclear fired engine...bet that sucker get hot enough to toast marshmallows and can power all my marble runs at the same time! ;D
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 $$$.

I ordered a Tarot from Bangood the same day this thread was started, no shipping to the USA yet....
-
Good news!
Fingers crossed, you´ll have it soon then :)

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.

You will not be disappointed Brian. 🤠

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
