Hello everyone,

I'm Andrew or Andy or Lusk, any's fine.
I've wanted a stationary engine for years but never got round to getting one.
But, with this lockdown, the pubs are shut, found myself trawling the internet on yet another cold wet Mancunian evening, I found a Lister G1, stuck a last minute bid in and won it :-)
Picked it up and he has this lovely new model Petter M Appletop, 2hp @ 1000rpm, in original condition.  Go home, with the G, and the Petter is niggling away in my mind, finally crack and go and get it with money I can ill afford and get it a month later!  I'll get some pics up eventually.

Apart from that, I'm an ex-Control, Instrumentation & Electrical Technician.  Haven't done any internal combustion engine work for at least 25 years now, so be prepared for questions.  Need to sort all my tools out, been soaking a gear puller in penetrating oil for the last week.

Restore 90s pinball machines now and again.

Cheers

Lusk

Hi Andy and a very warm welcome to the forum -plenty of Lister and Petter expertise here. Good luck with your new project.

PS 90's pinball machines ! Haven't played one since I was at college -  Bally Bazaar was my favourite. If you still have any please post a couple of pics in The Shed.
