Re: Another Bees Nest
When I got started buying Cox engines/parts on e-bay I would pay whatever it took to get an engine lot like you scored. I once paid $400+ for around 50 mismatched bee engines and parts. A lot were junk but perfect for what I had planned to do with them. Then you get the nice surprise like a Davis diesel crank or a few Babe Bees with 3 piece pistons. I even found an early Bee with the countersunk screws and back plate, also with a 3pc piston. Not to mention over a dozen "W" filament glow heads and sometimes a TD cylinder .049 or .051 ci. mounted on a Black Widow. My best find I feel are the cylinders marked P-40. Not many were made. So the real lure in purchasing those lots was expecting the unexpected. A treasure hunt! Now I get to use ugly, damaged and worn parts for my experiments without ruining perfectly good, ones.

Re: Another Bees Nest
Thanks Greg
Maybe we should start a post about oddities
Here's a couple. Don't know what it was designed for

Macro setting on camera
Try using the "macro" setting on your camera to clean up your images. Will make all the difference in the world on those close-ups.

Re: Another Bees Nest
Sorry, I used an old camera that doesn't have macro. My new camera was purchased just for posting pictures has the macro setting. I was too lazy to get it out to use. If clearer pics are needed I'll retake and repost.
