Nothing yet, I do look at Mamod's every day when I'm spanning the globe
on the wonderful world of eBay.
I seen a Showman’s pop up and was hoping it was the “Special” but no luck… Will take a Goliath too ;)
It’s getting tempting to buy one direct before prices or shipping go up, but by the time I add in a gas burner and the £65 shipping, the bill is getting way up there… 😬

BUMP!

The Centurion has a fixed cylinder slide valve engine with slip eccentric reverse, so not the same as the TE1A. It may be possible to make a TE1A into a Centurion by making a new engine for it, But I've never seen it done.
Sorry - I didn't had my glasses on and didn't realize that the Centurion has a fixed cylinder.
This makes a much better engine, Arnold ::)
Yea, I have too many of the regular TE’s… 😂
They say the flat canopies are rare, but 3 of those have found there way here too… ::) :D
How long have you been looking? Reason I'm asking is when I was looking, almost two years, I was
going to bite the bullet and order one. Went to bed and next day here it was, Ebay, BIN like new.
Box and everything that came with it. With shipping, and tax, under $200. Check prices and drag
your feet. Procrastinate,,,,,,,,, and it will come. ;D
You must have woke up before me that day! 😂
I’ve been looking since Jim posted his many ages ago, just couldn’t get myself to buy a brand new one…
