Schoenner Lipsia restoration
By: mauricedelaat Date: December 21, 2021, 12:45 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I got myself a Schoenner Lipsia on E-bay, this model was made
around 1900 for the Leipziger lehrmittel anstalt.
It arrived in a pretty bad state, just a bit worse than I hoped
for:
[attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3]
Anyway, I found some time to restore this machine, the boiler
was the biggest challenge, it had additional holes and the holes
for the level glass were missing.
[attachimg=4][attachimg=5][attachimg=6]
The end result is OK, unfortunately one of the previous owner
had cut some holes in the wooden base for a drive belt, which
are hard to fix.
[attachimg=7][attachimg=8][attachimg=9][attachimg=10]
The both (Schoenner) LLA Lipsia and the model 1900 side by side:
[attachimg=11]
I did no test run the Lipsia due to the missing burner.
I want to make a replica burner, so I would really appreciate if
one of you Lipsia owners would share some picture and sizes of
the orginal burners out there.
Regards,
Maurice.

Congrats, Arnold

Nice work on the restoration Maurice.
A model that has eluded me for some time.
I am looking forward to seeing your burner.

Impressive sympathetic restoration, congratulations!
The burners of my two Schoenner Lipsia's (and the one of my
Märklin Lispia, which has a similar burner) have much shorter
wick-holder pipes, 2-3 cm above the deck of the burners. The
filler screw has a short, rather sharply bent vent pipe.
I will take a photo, if you like, but I have to unearth the
engine somewhere

Maurice, you have done a wonderful restoration job. Once again
saved a machine that was worth it.
I wish you and everyone else a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year.
