Its the sort of problem that threatens to banish my steaming from the kitchen table  
Its odd though as the waterwheel vanes have had quite a lot of effort gone into making the angles/ scoop for water. |

I agree. But, either way, it a very good looking piece. I missed that one. If I'd seen it I'd have been very tempted. 
Great Catch. Are we going to see some video?
(1101! What comes next? I think my current title is most appropriate. Would the mods let me keep it forever?)

Yup, the one with the leaky water is X rated though and not recommended.
Will post in the next few days.  |

That would be for strong language I guess.

I filled the tray excitedly with water and got a load of water all over my feet, it isnt waterproof, nor I think is it meant to be 
Still, it goes with the other 2 Doll accessories we have, a 4 banded saw and lineshaft, bit like Mooses EOM but the Doll logo is the slightly earlier one as in the watermill/ hammer here |
That is a fine looking accessory and unfortunately the waterwheels are usually just for show which is a shame.

My Doll 610/1 Fountain arrived today. Paintwork condition is actually really rather good. It's going to need some major work on functionality, however.
http://66.102.9.104/translate_c?h...0_1.html&prev=/language_tools
Primarily it's missing a spout.
Les, what model is the one you posted on page one of this thread?
Don't you also have a 610/2?
Any chance you could post some spout closeups?
Not sure exactly how it was supposed to work. Inside the bowl stand I can see the pipe from the pump. It seems to extend about 1/2 "into the stand and stop. Was the entire stand supposed to fill with water before coming out of the spout?
It doesn't look as if any thing was ever attached to the pipe, but on the other hand, the solder seal between the stand and the base does not seem intact for the entire circumference. This would allow for water to leak back into the pond. 
Of course, if the pump is fast enough that may not matter.
Any insights greatly appreciated.

I only have one Doll Fountain and I still haven't found out which model number it is yet.
The water comes out of the spout directly and the bowl is for show only.
You will need the spout as it reduces the hole size so that you build up pressure and force the water out, that way it
rises into the air and not just dribble over the sides.
Hope these pictures help.
