Always liked the 785 with the spoked wheels. One fella at our club has one and runs it from time o time. Does it have 'steam chest' effects or is yours just 'leaking' smoke from inside the boiler?

Oh she's puffing from the steam chest on both sides  sir. That's my first steamer that does that. I do enjoy that effect. I had to change the element as the original was so brittle it fell apart in my fingers. Put wick material in it , which it never had before. Tested with out the shell, and no leaks..from the top ! I overfilled it the first time and it leaked from the bottom briefly. But after it soaked up the steam fluid she stopped. It wasn't too bad. Learned just to put a few drops and she'll smoke for a good amount of time.
