OzSteamDemon whistle tower
« on: April 23, 2024, 04:10:39 pm »
I remounted this OzSteamDemon whistle tower and restored all of the whistles. All of them were heavily corroded and leaking at the fittings.  Took them all apart, soaked em in vinegar, refitted with gaskets and O rings. No more leaks.  Whistles sound well. Also fitted pull cords to each one.  The one on the right is EXTREMELY loud.  It’s so loud that my neighbors can hear it from inside their homes while I’m inside MY home.

At the bottom of the post are YouTube links to a short. Click here for video

None the less, won’t be using this much.  This was given to me by Charlie (txlabman) to play with and fix er up.

Fun project!  [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I believe I bought this from Clinton several years ago.

It has set on the shelf gathering dust.

Thanks for getting it working Travis.

I can’t believe Clinton would sell that! Another thing I should make for kids to try at shows…

Did something creative with the set holes in the plinth.  When steaming this will help prevent hot condensate from hitting your skin. Not to mention a bit more realistic for a whistle tower. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
