Muahahahaha!
I was just given a 1937-44 Flint & Walling, 12 blade, 7 foot diameter windmill! It is a Zypher Star 37. The thing is 97% complete and in usable condition, with a little love. With it also came a Monitor pump and a Monitor pump jack, as well as a 15' stub tower. I am over the moon in love with this thing, it's a thing of beauty. Screw Venus de Milo or Picasso, this thing is high art!
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone here plays with these ancient beasts or knows of a good forums where people do. The one forum I have found so far I can't find the register button.
And as to towers, I'm going to do a wooden base of say 10 - 15', then put the metal stub tower on top. Anyone ever make a tower base or set a tower on top of one?
This thing is so awesome, can't wait 'till it's pumping.
