Monumentally superb machine (...ideal xmas gift for the love of one's life lol+++).
Hoping as much as possible of uniques like that got saved from the scrap and still can bee seen somewhere.
Are you willing to contribute to the £ 5,000,000 it would cost to move & reinstall it in another purpose built hall plus the £ 5,000,000 it would cost each year to keep it in running order ?
The biggest single cost per annum for the powerhouse museum at ultiomo NSW was the only fully functional Boulton & Watt steam engine lesft on the planet .
The costs were so high that they have finally decided to decommission it and are looking at fitting a hidden electric motor so visitors can see the wheels spinning and some fake steam .
Even the cost of keeping things like the Fairlight music generator opperational works out at over $ 1,000 every time it is fired up , and the Fairlight is probably the most significant invention in the history of music
If you have a record collection or have been to a live concert in the past 20 years you have been listening to a Fairlight .
