Stuart or Bolton Triple Expansion
« on: September 30, 2019, 05:02:34 pm »
Hi, I'm looking for either a Stuart or a Bolton Triple expansion machine with reverse, well machined. Budget $4K. you can send me a private message if you know of one for sale. Thank you

Thanks for the responses. Gil, would you please let me know what pressure the Bolton needs to run? I sent a pm, but I do not see it in my sent messages for some reason!

Nice to see these triples.

Looking at Gil's photo, i'd say around 10 PSI going by the gauge?
