Lots of activity this week! Great posts!
Here is my Dorfan contribution.
This is an original Dorfan crane from the Stout Stanley Merritt auction. Stout did a good job shipping it and it arrived safely. I know, I was living dangerously! It has a few issues. One leg is broken, which was disclosed. The base is warped, also disclosed. It will be a challenge to make this run. Wiring will need to be replaced. The cab is on very tight and doesn’t rotate freely. Also, with the warped base, the drive shaft from the cab has become disengaged. It sure is nice looking though...

Congrats George, the Dorfan crane is still on my wish list. I am still afraid to have one shipped in France... and travelling with one on board in airplane may be a problem with TSA.

Maybe it could be more safe to disassembled it to ship. Daniel
