I have a 1540 but I would like to have the other three stationary engines too. I got her from Mooseman and I am happy with her. She helped me to learn how to handle meth burners correctly.

I have a meager collection of SEL by any ones standards
the box belongs to the 1540 and the 1530 needs a piston,level plug and it would like an original flywheel 
|
||||||
| Les |
I have one or two.
|
||||||
| Les |
These two have arrived since that picture was taken, the burner is going to be a donor for my Quality Models engine.
|
||||||
| James Staley |
I have two or three.
Sorry les, couldn't resist. My childlike sense of humour. |
||||||
| Les |
That's fine, do you have one of these? 
|
||||||
| kd02 |
So that's where all the bloody burners are, you two have got them all,
|
||||||
| James Staley |
No I don't!! But do you have one of these!! Lol 
|
||||||
| Les |
Not boxed but close.
|
||||||
| James Staley |
Arr, lol. I could be here a while lol: 
|
||||||
| Les |
Me as well.
|
||||||
| James Staley |
My favourite are the two little red boxed sel tools. I've never seen anything like them before and don't think you'd see another set. So glad I got them but paid alot for them back then, and at the time I thought I'd regret it. | ||||||
| James Staley |
Have you painted your sel boat engine or is it original? | ||||||
| Les |
It is original condition as are all the other SEL engines.
|
||||||
| James Staley |
Very nice! I managed to get one a couple of weeks ago after a years search. The box is brilliant but the engine has unfortunately lost all of its paint. I'm going to tidy the pipes up when I get round to it but dont think I will paint it.

Sad to say-I have no SELs. You really don't see a lot for
sale in the U.S.. I like the looks of them. They look like solid compact little engines
|
||||||
| Les |
|
||||||
| angus |
I don't personally, but that reminded me that I have 2 of these
These were pretty expensive in their day at 25/- in 1948 -- a flatbase MM1 cost 21/3 then 
|
||||||
| James Staley |
Oooooohhh!!! I do like the boxed lineshaft!! If you ever want to sell it please let me know!
Just finished collection the range of engines now, and now starting on collecting the tools. Why do you have 5 table saws and four fans! Lol |
||||||
| Les |
I like those, the ones I've seen on ebay went/go for silly money. 
Like these two. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE...tional_RL&hash=item45fd578f68 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE...ay_Models&hash=item3cbc7b00b8 |
||||||
| Les |
Sorry but the boxed or any other lineshafts are not for sale. The saws and fans keep breeding.
|
||||||
| James Staley |
God! There way overvalued. You can tell its a buy it now! |
||||||
| angus |
Wow! I got mine about a year ago on eBay for silly money in the opposite direction. I didn't think I had a chance and bid on both -- from the same seller. I got one for £6.62 but had to shell out a whopping £8.83 for the other one.
|
||||||
| Les |
I wish I could get some for those prices. 
|
||||||
| kd02 |
Will soon have my second SEL,
|
||||||
| Sandman |
My only SEL. This was a boat anchor and had to be extensively refurbed. It came up nice in the end though.
|
||||||
| kd02 |
That's a beauty Sandy,
|
||||||
| magpie38 |
I would not call it meager dennis its a great collection of SEL |
||||||
| magpie38 |

|
||||||
| magpie38 |
Les and James could open an SEL burner shop |
||||||
| magpie38 |
Les's marine engine is definately original, I could be wrong but I think they were all or mostly painted green, I have one also which is painted green but notin as such good condition as les's 
|
||||||
| magpie38 |
