Green Twin, Here's one I think you might be interested in: https://www.steamlaunch.com/store-2/p/build-the-anderson-single I contacted the company about 10 years ago about a set of castings and was told that none were in stock, that the patterns needed a lot of reworking and blah, blah...

That's a crankcase scavenged 2 cycle similar to Fairbanks Morse. The second eccentric is likely for the jacket water pump. The B&W Alpha shown in one of the videos is also 2 cycle but has 2 stage reciprocating blower mounted aft of the 4th cylinder for scavenging air. I've run a couple of 3...

Do you have any info on the 4 x 4 engine? Do you have drawings? Thanks, Chris

I have the full sized prints and the Live Steam copies as well. It will take a week or so to dig them out and see about reproduction. One thought is to scan them and convert to PDF so they could be emailed.

I picked up a Walker Turner 14" bandsaw about 20 years ago that has served me very well. It's late '40s vintage and built like a tank. One thing I really like about it is the motor has a two-speed gearbox mounted directly to it which gives me 8 speeds total. I've replaced the tires once and made...

I'm going to chime in again. Thinking back to when I bought my Rockwell lathe, I remember finding a single 4C collet in the cabinet and being able to fit it directly into the spindle bore without any adapter. I called one of the East Coast US machinery dealers (Meridian?, Plaza?) and he said...

I had one of those lathes and I vaguely recall the headstock bore fit a 4C collet. Tailstock was MT2.

I may be able to help you with this. I have a 2 page parts list dated Nov. 1983 with the notation "see drg. 90047" I've scanned it to PDF and can email it to you. Just PM your email to me and I'll send on its way. Chris

I have a set of Coventry compound castings and prints that I picked up from Cole's several years ago. It will be a few more years until I get around to starting on them so I can't vouch for the accuracy of the prints. I would be interested in hearing what you come up with for errors. On another...
