Hi quickj, st paul
Thanks for your message, yes I tried but the company closed down in 2015, no news for now. Fibers crossed though.
I'm not an experienced mechanic, so I'll wait a bit before beginning the restoration, at least to get the minimum information (missing parts, tolerance/slack...) What you told me it's already of a great help!
I'll let you know if i find something anyway ;)

it Does appear to be a Pearl Zenith.

At almost 3 feet tall it is not really a "model", but a full size working engine.

When you get it sorted out and running, you'll need to build a 30 foot steam launch.

According to the website, drawings are available at $125.00  http://www.pearlengine.com/ (http://www.pearlengine.com/)

Have you tried calling or emailing them?

Good luck with your repairs and restoration.

I don't believe I've ever seen such an engine  , but looks very interesting. 
Good luck with your search.

Hi everyone,

I bought this beautiful engine at the flea market, and looking for information about it.
It may be a Pearl Zenith, I tried to contact the company but they unfortunately shut down their business.
If you knew something about it I would be very glad. Missing parts, blueprint s, pictures, anything that could help me to give it back its youth! At least a bit of it.
Have a nice day in any cases
S
