Thanks @Stoker! 

I got her oiled, filled with water and denatured alcohol.  I swear watching it fire up is something crazy, so much FIRE LOL!  Likely wasn't a good idea running it so close to the (real) Christmas tree.

I have a whistle problem, the level comes out of the base.  Also, sadly the topper has a split.  Though the whistle lever coming out is the bigger problem, as when I tried to "whistle" it popped out and I liked to sh*t my pants.  What a freaking mess LOL.

Not sure what I'll do about the whistle lever .... but here is a video before that calamity.  No telling the last time it ran, likely decades.
