That is my BP20.  Sometimes I forget that once you post something on the web it stays there forever.  Here is another, poorly lighted picture of the engines.

These engines are the ones that were reviewed in the magazine and I believe also the ones Eric reviewed.  These were sitting on the top shelf of the Weaver booth at a York many years ago. When I asked about them they said they where their demonstrator units with lots of miles on them.  Both units were powered, but the B did not have sound.  Weaver was selling them for a good price, but I was going to pass on them until they through in the add-on sound card for the B.

Problem was they ran terribly.  I sent them to Alex_M (one of our favorite forum members) to get fixed and to add the sound card.  Alex said they were a mess inside, probably repaired multiple times with pinched wires and other poor work.  Instead of trying to fix them, I had Alex gut both engines and add ERR.  Now they run and sound great.

Some day I will try selling the original guts and sound card on the forum.
