This will be interesting to watch Chris as we all know most ebayers in OZ are ignorant to what is rare and what isn't with toy steam.
Its nice and clean and tidy which will catch the bidders that like shiny stuff and an old rare model too.
Any idea what you hope to get Chris?

Excellent burner, very close to the Mamod original.
Thanks everyone, I'd like to see it sell for over $200.00 AUD (GPB80.00), even at that price I won't get my money back as this was one of the MN engines I bought where the paint burst into flames as soon as it got fired up and it had the wrong pulley on it. However, I didn't fire this one until after it was completely restored with HT paint.
Cheers
Chris

I think that may be Mike Nicholas who I believe uses a tube of super glue where others use a soldering iron  |

I just shoved a $140 bid on it to try and get it out of his hands knowing I would get outbid before the end (and if I didn't I would of been laughing) but it wasn't enough Chris, sorry. But atleast I've raised the price for you by $60.
