An Act of Kindness
« on: February 07, 2021, 01:35:56 pm »
I bought the York Bolton triple expansion below few years ago from Gil. During the transaction, Gil told me that the main steam supply valve handle broke off & is missing. Gil mentioned that if he finds it; will send it to me.
Two years later, Gil found the part & kindly sent it to me paying for FedEx shipping as well.
Thanks Gil [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Here is Gil’s video of the machine running. The machine ran at Kinzers, PA during the Rough & Tumble show when I picked it.
