Cabin Fever 2022

Hi everyone,
Here are the long awaited photos from the show. Sorry for the long wait work has been busy as ever, I turned another year older, celebrated my sister's retirement and on top of it all got a new desktop computer and then did all the appropriate program installations. Still working out bugs on the email, it will receive but not send. My computer guy is moving in a few weeks so I'm stuck that way till he's done.
I will start with an engine that was bought in the consignment area.This was a very interesting engine. A T-head built somewhere around the turn of the 20'th century.
Since George was at my back during most of the show I would be remiss if I failed to show some of his work.
This is his Holt triple
An assortment of things, 9 inch Ford rear axle, V twin and 300 six with my table and coffee cup in the background.
and his V twin
This is a model of a Brayton Ready Motor.
A very complex motor with a flame to provide ignition and one of the cylinders if I recall properly pumps air into the cylinder for ignition.
I must give thanks to George because he helped me diagnose why my Val engine wouldn't start. The ignition disc with the magnet for the Hall sensor moved. It had spark, fuel and compression. The only thing wrong was timing. I would have eventually figured it out but George was on it instantly. Didn't expect it to go anywhere. ran great the whole weekend.

P.S. more photos coming soon!

Great pictures, Art, thanks for posting those. I like that T-head! And of course, George's work is a show of it's own!

Bob & Scott,
It was great to put a face with the name.
I have a knack of going to these shows and not getting photos of me or my stuff. Fortunately my wife came along and at least got me. I do have to point out the nut & bolt on the table. We recently sold my parents house and going through drawers of nuts and bolts I ran across this 1 3/4 X 5 bolt. You can't miss it!
To the left in this photo was this character named Art who does glass plate photography, and by jiggy don't call it a picture... at least in his hearing.
Bob I did have a few more photos of the T head 4
Here was an interesting engine. It was a Harley panhead made in China. The problem as it was explained to me was that the Hall sensor was inside the block and when it went bad you have to dissemble the crankcase to replace it.
Then there was this very unique clock.
The same guy had this wood model electric powered train like Brian Rupnow built, The name escapes me now but I'm sure someone can fill in the blank.

Well that was a PITA seting up the video on you tube, but it's now sorted out and I need a break. I'll try to put up some steam stuff next.
