Reply To: Help identifying and dating a 1920s rowboat motor

Now that’s kinda depressing to think that something historically relevant and pretty cool like those motor get shown the backdoor like that from a museum. What would have happened if you did buy them? Sad…

Glad you shared that, now I will keep it an get it running and share with the young generation4…that will watch and listen.

I primarily like “refurbishing” old cars/ tractors, old tube radios and jukeboxes but have done a couple of old outboards. Just none this old. I like fixing old things and giving them another functional life with another generation.

I consider myself young, if you can call 60 young. I am just blessed that a family friend who was a WWII radioman taught me tube theory at a young age (13) and later had a mentor in the jukebox world that taught me the mechanical side of things before he retired from a 50+ year career. It is a fun hobby, fixing things.

This group will have to be my mentor in this latest adventure.

Thanks again for all your help.
