I got this old steam engine from my uncle and I want to restore it. It needs a new boiler plug and piston. Is there anywhere that I known to sell replacement parts that will fit this model? Also what are some methods I can use to clean it and shine up the brass, should I use a dremel with a polishing tip on it or fine grit sandpaper? Thanks guys!!

Howdy folks, I have a Stirling Engine similar to the one pictured and was curious about liquid fuel sources, I have lamp oil, and I have isopropyl alcohol I was curious if there would be any benefit to using lamp oil considering I have a lot more of it, or if that would burn at too low a heat

My granddad brought this back from Germany sometime between 1950-1954. I know zero about these things. My mom remembers it being really neat when it’s running, but that’s about it!
