Horizontal twin mill engine with reversing gear - stock code 7870

We sold this one back in 2016, it's recently come back in part exchange for another staionary engine. In the same condition as last time we had it, pictures opposite were taken this week, words and video below from 2016.
 
A finely made twin cylinder reversing mill engine, scratch-built and of freelance design, fitted with boiler feed pump. Machining is all to a high standard, turns over very smoothly, it runs well on air - there's a clip of it here. There is some runout on the crank at the flywheel end which looks like wear in the bearings, other than that it's in good order.
