{"product_id":"horizontal-stationary-engine-stock-code-10999","title":"Vintage horizontal workshop engine","description":"A vintage horizontal engine, we suspect originally supplied to run small machinery in a commercial workshop before the widespread availability of mains electricity and fractional horsepower motors.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The engine is complete and turns over freely. One bearing cap has cracked through and shows an old repair - it could be brazed to make a better job of it or, alternatively, used as a pattern to produce a new part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The wooden base may well be original - currently in a stripped and varnished condition, the wood is what a Victorian timber merchant would call \"painting grade\". It would, almost certainly, have originally been lacquered - probably black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    This one needs sympathetic conservation rather than wholesale restoration - we would be tempted to clean the brightwork and paint the base, leaving the rest untouched with its original patina.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019030974805,"sku":"10999","price":675.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/10999-1.webp?v=1779901253","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/horizontal-stationary-engine-stock-code-10999","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
