I am looking for a deal on one of these as well, I don't need one quite this nice as it has parts on it I want for my custom Wilesco TE build.
  Good find, Happy Steaming!

A good buy, $90 is certainly not too much for this machine in this condition. Congratulations.

I went to my local "every Sunday morning" flea market today, and found this.

Nothing very special about it.  Mamod TE1A, in the box, with 2.5 boxes of fuel tabs, Steering rod, oil, funnel, all of the original tags and paperwork, including the receipt from 1991. 

Looks like it has been steamed maybe twice or thrice.  Still a little water in the boiler. 

I don't think I did to bad at $90.00
