HEAT!.............I test fired the space heater for the shop today. I purchased this one used and although it is as old as I am, it works perfectly. These old Siegler space heaters are awesome! Think your gas fireplace is cool? You got nothin' on this ol' heater! I paid $200 for this beauty, mostly because it is the smallest unit they made and very hard to find. These space heaters have a cast iron heat exchanger and are pretty much indestructible! This unit is all original with the original fan motor and gas controls. The input is 33,000 BTU and this one works flawlessly. I will be totally dialed in once I give it a good cleaning! Siegler made three different models of these space heaters, the 555, the 777, and the 333 which is the one pictured here. They have fan motors but will work without electrical power as the fan is optional. The thermostat is hydraulically controlled so they can supply heat in the event of a power outage. The 555s and 777s can usually be picked up for around $100 or less depending on condition, and defective controls can be retrofitted with newer parts. I know where there is a 555 at a good price if anyone is interested.
I'm really gonna miss my buddy Jimmy. No matter what he was always Jimmy!
Good truck race, it was close!
Great racing last night!
Thanks Howie!

Too much going on this week Doc, no time for slot cars. Sorry I missed it, sounds like I might have been able to pick up some spare parts!
and...............sometimes you're you're just Doc.
Hey Doc, I just realized Tuesday slot car evenings are out for me. Sorry!
I just discovered the rules listed under the "Rules" tab on the NASTE Home Page and the rules as listed here in the Forum did not match up. I just completed the update of the rules on the Home Page tab so all rules listed in both areas match.
