Bing 7380 Hot Air Engine

I acquired this rust bucket hot air engine over a year ago.
When I received it, I attempted to run it without success. I put
it on the shelf and their it sat.
This past weekend, I completely disassembled it and cleaned it
thoroughly.
Following re-assembly, I fired it up again and it still did not
run.
After staring at it for way to long, I realized the timing was
incorrect. A couple tweaks and off it went.
I am still trying to decide whether to restore it or just
periodically spray it down with Balistol.
Thanks to Brent for the Model ID.

What a lovely old Stirling Cycle engine you have there Charlie.
Seems from your pictures that a full restoration would be a
project of such major proportions as to seem untenable.
Think I'd let it keep its historic "patina" and try to maintain
it as a functional engine that is in an arrested state of
"decay".
Whatever course you choose, I'm sure it will still be an honored
part of your collection.

I have to say, that is a pretty cool engine. I'd also say the
"patina" seems fitting for this engine too.... I think it looks
classy :-)
