Title: Schoenner 160F - LLA edition
Post by: mauricedelaat on February 24, 2021, 01:43:38 pm

Hi everybody,

I have recently purchased a Schoenner 160F, at first I thought that is had been rebuild with parts of other machines, mainly because the flywheel is very different from the standard 160F. (see attached pictures)
I found some old newspapers advertising on the internet, and it shows the same machine sold by "Leipziger Lehrmittel Anstalt"
The same schoenner LLA machine is metioned in the Battenberg catalog, Schoenner Nr 3003 model 1900, built in 1900 to 1905.

I want to do a restauration on this machine and I am wondering if anybody has some pictures of such a machine, I am interested in the original colors and striping.
I found some leftovers of the typical brown schoenner color, but I not sure about the flywheel.

Unfortunately the feedwater pump and the door are missing.



Regards,


Maurice.

This is the only picture I found from a german auction 2014
Maybe it helps for color scheme - it was sold for US$ 2404.00, Arnold

Hi Arnold,

Thanks a lot, nice image, this shows that the flywheel was originally painted with the same brown color and yellow striping.
The base is also brown with black shades, it seems.


Thanks!


Maurice.

Nick - this is the Schoenner not the LLB Version "Lehrmittelanstalt or Lipsia"
- but it needs some care - Arnod

Thank you Arnold, yes it does need some help, but the price was right  ;)

Hi Nick,

Your machine looks very much like the Josef Falk 455, see attached picture from the Battenberg catalog.

Nice machine btw...



Regards,


Maurice.

The Schoenner 160F - LLA after restoration, I think it came out nice.
The hunt for a door and a pump continues.
