Wow, Wow, Wow!
Who is John Coleman?
He was an eBay seller when I started collecting that went by the name thesteamchest and a talented machinist. He sold a lot of S50 governor kits

I believe so, the eBay seller had Jin in the name, but the box/instructions were different from what I’ve received in the past from him… I have seen them sell a lot in the $45-75 range.
I rather think that Jin is just a member of a group that does the manufacturing, and that he is one of possibly a few different members of the group that acts as an outlet for the group. Don't know if he "buys" from the group wholesale, thus acting as a middleman distributor, or if he is actually acting as a frontman for the group.
In any event, he or they often start the sale of a new product offering deep discounts, acting in the capacity of loss-leaders and trial balloons, to gin up public interest, then eventually settle into a fixed price point that works for them over the long haul.
I've seriously considered buying one of these for awhile, just never hit the button. Do you have a video of it in operation Nick?

I tried to get a video, but now it’s stuck in the ceiling
Haha, no, but I hope to give it a run some time in the next couple days… I definitely think it’s a good buy if you get one in the $70 range

Thanks Nick. He's definitely talented.

Nick:
Sounds like you will need to buy another one to rescue the one stuck from the ceiling!

Nick:
I couldn't recall if you ever made a video of this one from Jin.
It doesn't look like it has ever been steamed.
A really nice model.
I am really enjoying your 365 day challenge. I look forward to finally making it to MN to see your collection in person.
Cheers,
Charlie
I was lucky enough to get one of these M31's from Jin at what I thought to be a very good price. Also managed to score its big brother twin the M30 for far less than I think the quality is truly worth!
