After Petri's thread I wanted to film my MM2.

Apologies for some parts being a bit shaky. I broke my tripod so filmed part by holding the tripod in my hands    I also had to use the camera's light due to lack of other lighting

Thanks every for the comments.      Glad you enjoyed it.

I don't normally go for the the fixed base engine/accessory setups due to lack of room but this was a leftover from my early days of having some shelf queens    It was destined for display only but when I realised it was a waste not to steam I decided to keep it on it's base

Peter it turned out to be the press making that squeak. The vertical shaft. I had oiled the eccentric and horizontal shaft but forgot the vertical press part. I'm glad I found it as it was annoying
