Got that puppy running for the first time in five years. A wonderful sound. I need to tear it apart and re-lube everything as the original oil has polymerized to varnish. Fortunately, when I picked it up, the seller showed me how to do this on another machine he was working on and this is something that doesn't need to be done again as the hammer will now get constant use -- there is a constant flow of fresh oil through the two cylinders when it is running. I will post videos in a week or two.
Lulu is coming inside too - we both had a productive and wonderful day outside. I have a couple things I want to do in the music room but this is just an hour or two.
