Plates are copper according to their website.

That is a very attractive little LTD Stirling engine.  I like the copper, brass and bronze contrast with the silver.

Looking forward to it running on a cup of hot whatever.

Nice touch. Are those copper plates or anodized aluminum with a copper finish? They look great either way. Mine is a simpler version with nickel finish (anodized alum.).

I guess I never looked closely at them, will take a better look when I open the box back up…

Looks nice, I was on the list too. When I read the Email they were already out.
I checked back to see the message was 47 minutes old.  I have the double one
and it runs off the heat from my keyboard on the computer. It's a solar version.
You're going to love it.

I must have gotten an email earlier than you… They emailed me at 4:24 am local time and I ordered at 6:20 am

Can't go wrong with them. Are they including white gloves now? My daughter assembled mine for a Christmas present.

I assume the gloves are for the glass dome I ordered? But I will probably wear them (if they fit  :D ) when assembling just to keep finger prints off the copper. I would guess they would have coated it with something though?

Very nice, Nick! I have a bunch of pieces from Kontax. You can’t go wrong with any of their engines.

Forgot to mention above, the engine is in the little box, the big round one is a glass dome display case

Well, currently it looks like this… always wanted a Kontax stirling, but couldn’t make my mind up on which model… but then I seen one in copper 😍 and had to have it!

Was busy working on a steamy Easter project today so will have to put the build off a day or two, but eventually it should look like the picture below… I believe I have the perfect coffee cup to run it on too  ;)

Been on the waiting list for this one to be back in stock for well over a year… a couple weeks ago I received an email that it was back in stock and I signed in as fast as I could to place an order. It arrived today and just thought I’d look on the website and it’s already out of stock again.
