1970s Wilesco Old Smoky Live Steam Engine Roller D36

Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) SV/AI For your consideration is a Wilesco D36 Live Steam Roller made in Germany in the 1970s. Important : The heating system has been modified and the original burner tray was replaced by a homemade Spirit burner that operates on liquid alcohol (denatured alcohol - 91% recommended). I did not check the suitability of the spirit burner.It can be reverted back to the original system but you would have to get a solid fuel burner tray along with its housing. This steam roller is in good condition and has been air tested (video). It should not give much trouble to operate on steam... Perhaps a gasket or two that have dried up over the years and need replacement. Except for the spirit burner, it is 100% complete and original, including the original box that is in good condition for its age. It is still in production and this is the link if you'd like a brand new one :https://www.wilesco-shop.de/en/mobile-steam-engines/wilesco-old-smoky-steam-roller-d365.htmlAt the current rate, the price is around $400. You will need some denatured alcohol (91% recommended) and distilled water is highly recommended. Condition : This Live Steam Roller is in good condition. It has been air tested (video) and should not give too much trouble to operate on steam. Important : It has been modified to operate on Spirit (Liquid Alcohol) - See photos I would rate it a C7 Please select the shipping system that suits you best. VERY IMPORTANT : I am offering four shipping options. You can check the cost by clicking next to shipping on "See Details" or make your choice at take-out.

LESS IMPORTANT : Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment. Guarantee : Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it. Warning : Many of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine. Packaging :Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling. LIVING ESTATE SALE DETAILS :I had my first steam engine when I was 9 years old. That was 65 years ago. I have been collecting them for 25 years and I am now 74. None of my descendants is interested in the collection, so I decided that it was time to liquidate. As of November 2024, I still have over 1,300 engines of all kinds to list. I believe in full disclosure. It takes me about an hour to list one item, between the assessment, the testing, the video, the photos, the description and the very careful packaging. I try to have very reasonable prices. At comparable quality, my prices are probably the lowest on the market.
