  How could you forget you had something as cool as that?
  

  
  Now proudly displayed in the Steam Cave!
  
  I put it away because the Throttle Control was stuck and I was pissed that the Seller did not disclose.  Thankfully, it is all properly sorted now.

  Lovely piece Charlie, have you steamed it at all?  I would love to see it running sometime.

  Hi Dave.  Just catching up after a busy couple weeks.
  
  I have not steamed it yet, but plan on doing so soon.

  (Attachment Link)   Super nice example you have.
   I also have a fairly nice Bing like this that came with it's box and on the box is 10/120/3. I did some research back when I acquired it and did find an article or some reference to the 10/120 model number. 
   The box is a hard cardboard that is very wood like with heavy staples.
  

  
  A very well preserved label on that box!  The label on mine fell off/disintegrated.
  
  Thanks for posting the picture.
  
  My reference to the 70/120 in the title of the thread came from the www.weedensteam.com website:
  
  "Little is know about the history of this Bing engine, listed as either a 10/120 or 70/120.
  Often mistaken for a Weeden No. 14, particullarily if the dark base with red pinstripes has been repainted. The groove in the flywheel and the shape of the cylinder are easy identifying features."

• I been wanting a Bing for a bit now and I just got one off eBay.  Buying it is a bit of a risk as the seller has only sold 7 items and only 1 in the last year but has been a eBay member since 2008.  I sent a message asking extra be giving to its packaging & shipping box.  The seller also had it listed as a #44 Weeden and not a bing 10/120.  Or is it a 70/120??
  
  I saw somewhere these could have been sold by Sears?
  
  Anyways, what's the story with the burner? The 3 wick cylinders seem to be rather large - what kink of wick do you use?
  
  Here's hoping it shows up and undamaged.
