Looks lovely - fire it just once, video it too so that we can all enjoy it 
A great buy

I have to admit, if that has never been fired, I would not fire it. 
You could run it on compressed air for a bit, oil does wipe off, and should not blow anything out

You originally asked, "Do we do any Japanese?"
Here are my only Japanese items:
AHI Workshop with NIB Power Press & Lineshaft:
Workshop again (Motor works, but I usually hook it up to an engine  ):
According to the box, I am missing 3 items: hacksaw, grinder, & table saw.
If I get them, I hope to make a setup like the one pictured on the boxes:

Very Nice! I've seen the lathe and it was A LOT better than I expected!
I just saw the tablesaw on ebay UK but I think the price is very high-but really don't know

The price is very high, will be surprised if anyone bids on it.

... terrific machines, congrats, mates! The first one is so typical japanese - makes you think of a '60ies Godzilla movie, where the Big Lizzard eats half of Manhatten, tumbling over buses which have a 'Matchbox Lesney, Made in England' plate on their bellies ...
I luuuuuv it!

I have a couple of not strictly Japanese steam items...
The Gakkens, One being a flame licker and the other being stirling.
and a couple of odd looking late 70's pop pop boats
Nice looking plant by the way.
Aside from Saito does anyone know of other Japanese manufacturers? |
