i finally found the right reduction gear combination.
the plain gear did not look right so i found some S-spokes in it.

Where did you source your Toasty Roasty Man?
Is the peanut canister original?  If not, where did you source it?
It really looks great.

i bought the Roasty Toasty Man from a friend of mine.
the original glass was cracked so i sourced one from Amazon,

That is a wonderful friend!

If you ever find another one please let me know.

I am now the proud owner of the Trio of Cretor Engines that Gil restored.
