Great demonstration!! Hope I can find one of these someday…

That sounds like a collector that has to much stuff LOL

It was very cool to see your YT video of it operating Rich!
Definitely, the first video on YT of one of these actually working.

I assume you have given yours a test drive, yes? I suppose there are three that are known to exist now, one that is in the photo on weeden.com, yours, then mine. I wonder how many more are left! I'd love to have the Weeden supplied pulleys too!
I have never tried mine. Frankly, until you posted about getting yours, I forgot that I had it!

While I am using 2 two sheave pulleys vs the Weeden supplied 2 three sheave pulleys, this little guy's small gear slips on the larger gear if I give it much more weight than my little brass stamp despensor. Granted it's over a hundred years old but I have the two gears alined as much as possible. I seriously doubt it could have done 4 pounds with the 2 three sheave pulleys, as I can't even do near a pound now with the 2 two sheave pulleys without it slipping the gears (I tried with a H&K DC motor). Well, it might have once or twice - maybe.
Now if that little gear on the shaft was better made, I am sure it could have done it all day long. But as it is right now, it has way to much slop between their teeth! It would be sweet to have a new custom gear made that alined perfectly as possible to the larger wheel.
Regardless, a nice little accessory that I feel lucky to own! Oh, now I know what you are suppose to do with the Empire's B-34 & Windlass Variable Speed Unit - to bad its in Texas LOL

Enjoyed that!
-
I am sooooo excited to have this accessory, I feel like a kid on Christmas Day - really I do.
-
That is just GREAT!!!

Here is the Weeden Hoisting Drum running on my Weeden Electric 670. I hope to have the Weeden Big Giant running sometime soon, if my parts ever arrive!
