[ Guests cannot view attachments ] this engine is worth of a nice restoration. Is this your first project? You have the chance to
go with patina and preserve the "age" - this is what I would do today.
Some years ago I bought the same Bing but the large one. It was terrible mistreated -
so I made best of it. The Dynamo, electric switch, water level, Burner, Manometer, Whistle
and many other small parts were missing. The housing had horrific orange paint! I had to
rebuild the parts from scratch - only the Manometer was on Ebay. The engine is a good
runner and makes a lot of fun - but it is no more original. I can live with it...
I like my Burner and Dynamo - both gave a lot of labor - the electric switch is easy to
rebuild. Good luck
