Good price if he can get it. Looks like he doesn't have any bids yet. You would think that with that kind of price at least he could offer expedited shipping. :big:

Good to see you back making chips again. Hope that you enjoyed our Canadian summer.

Cheers

Funny you should post that. I was thinking about making that one next but I really wanted something challenging. :

Is it just for the one engine as the pics show two others, and are the paddles in the draws?

Shame about the grub screw hole in the flywheel rim, cap head screws and slotted screws holding the handwheels on otherwise I would have snapped it up

Very nice work.

Looks like the U.S. dollar is down again!

5 years ago the starting bid would have been $105.! :big:

All tolerances within 1/100mm

That's impressive, but it's also unlikely. 1/100mm would be within .0003937" and depending upon the size of the engine, friction, thermal expansion, and component flexure could easily overcome that tolerance and those close fits would be lost or negated resulting in binding.

Catty? I checked the definition since I never used the word myself or knew the exact meaning.

Urban dictionary; Generally females acting in a childish and somewhat aggressive matter; gossip whores;
catty like "Im going to scratch your eyes out and piss on everything." Sounds good...I'm havin fun!

The bearing caps are number stamped? What?

[GWRdriver]

stop being so catty

I don't think it's quite so extreme as that. If you weren't raise din the South (or in Wales) you might not know this, but I think what Don means is "If you can't say something nice best not say anything at all."

 

[Jasonb]

The bearing caps are number stamped? What?

Quite common to number bearing caps and their matching seats so they don't get mixed up, though I tend to mark them in a less obvious way.

I think they have been engraved by machine rather than stamped, looks to accurate for a stamp

I thought the same thing last night when I first saw this. I get the strange sensation that someone is
blowing smoke up our fannies.

Also unlikely is this seller getting $105k with a total feedback count of.. 4.

Yes, it's pretty, but ridiculously over priced. Not even in the realm of reality.

Hope you don't get the hiccups. :

;D
It was "our" fannies, Bob. You'll be the first to know.

 

[bentprop]

maybe the poor guy has simply put the decimal point in the wrong place!

Rof} Rof} Rof} Rof} Rof} Rof} Rof} I laughed so much there was no way smoke could travel in that direction.

Touche. :bow: :bow: :bow:

Maybe the wife said he had to sell them, so he put a outrageous price on them.

If he can get $105K for that beautiful engine, I should be able to sell mine for $0.00025K
