Empire B35 Steam Turbine -----RUNS...!!!
By: RedRyder Date: May 21, 2021, 7:01 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
It is in very nice condition, especially the plating.
Nice re-paint job on cast iron base and missing the Empire tag.
I did not paint it. I only cleaned it.
No power cord. (I borrowed the one in the video from a kitchen
appliance)
Heater works great and yes it runs!
See the video.
Asking $250 including lower 48 postage

That is a very nice B-35, if it was the older style "round"
sight glass fittings I would be VERY tempted. My B-35 plating
isn't in good shape at all, though I am attached to it a bit as
it is the engine that got me into collecting Empires (it was a
basket case when I got it).

Hi Rich, If you would like to add this to your collection, I

Hey Gil, thank you for the offer it is very tempting but I'll
have to pass. I am sure passing on your offer will weigh on me
for a bit!
Aside from it being a later model for the sight glass fittings,
my OCD would force me to look for a parts only B-35 to get it's
label (not easy for a B-35). You wouldn't believe the lengths I
have gone for things like that and the proper whistle toppers.

Hi Rich, I would absolutely believe the lengths you go to to
acquire the right part for another engine.
I have been there, done that and understand it..!

Rich, in addition I am glad you mentioned the tag which I had
forgotten was missing. It prompted me to call my Empire parts
guy and he thinks he may have a tag that can be re-stamped and
possibly a couple that have never been stamped.

Empire parts guy? And he has blank tags - how is that even
possible!

First, he said he may have a couple blanks and I hope he does.
A couple years ago he bought Dave Robie's entire workshop which
had lots of Empire and Weeden parts. For a long time Dave was
making to order Empire heating elements although he got harder
to do business with as he aged. He never kept anyone's money for
a part not delivered but he would have long conversations with
you over a period of months and if he couldn't convince himself
that he liked you he would send back your uncashed check. A
large part of liking you depended on him liking your political
views.
I will let you know if any tags come through.
