Received this unit on February 7,2004. 

             Saturday the 7th.                  Rob Fivey            First steam pressure indication.

We test fired it on Sunday February 8 at Larry Smith's. As is always the Smith's we very hospitable even thought they were very bust getting ready for the February meet.

We experienced some minor or not so minor problems. Again with Larry's help we were able to resolve them by dark. I Did the first test run under steam Monday morning. The machine preformed well. There still some minor items to be changed my satisfaction.

I would like to Thank Larry and Joan for their hospitality and help.

Also of great help were Rob and Bob Fivey.

Thank you

Sally & Phil Paxton
