Well Last saturday was a sad day, I had to give back the Renown Wind mill I have been fixing. I Know it is going to a home that will appreicate as much as any of you guy would.

Sorry the video at the end is a bit dark we did it out side at night so not the best spot of filming.

That looks to be running pretty well.
None of my Renowns are particularly strong runners.
I've often wondered if they haven't survived the time very well or were they always a bit iffy.

Nice to see it running though as I think it will be some time before mine reaches that stage.

Very pleased to see that unusual item working once more & hadn't realized it was quite that big. Good work!

That will be great, no rush though as I'm still waiting on my order of material I need to make the new cylinders.
