Should Doc’s Buzzsaw PM machine go to a museum?

[rlortie]

Thanks for the info Ralph.

Are there photos of what doc looked like?

I use to have pictures of Doc, his wife Linda and one granddaughter. Unfortunately I lost them during one of my computer crashes due to often experienced power surges.

Doc was a redneck type guy who wore blue bib overalls and a mustache. He would have made a good western co-star with Sam Elliott in a Louis L'Amour classic.

His idea of transportation was a one ton dually flat bed with twin stacks and a hopped up engine. This vehicle can be partially seen in some of the wheel pictures.

IIRC Doc was a highway maintenance man before his early retirement. His hobby was gold prospecting and cursing New Yorkers, not unlike himself moving to Arizona to retire.

Tell me about!
So we are discussing which museum to put a device that doesn't exist, even in single photos?
Yes... sometimes the stuff become too hard...

I have two calls into Linda requesting a visit to see the Heathen.

Interestingly, Doc's gruff greeting still "welcomes" callers on their answering machine, twenty months after his passing. Something to the effect, "We don't have any friends so you must be a salesman" etc.

I have not heard back from Linda but will try once again after the Thanksgiving holiday lest she is away visiting family.

Unfortunately I have to leave the area in a few days.

It is sad to here of his passing. But I am sure if someone ever gets it to work he will welcome all of us on the other side saying. I TOLD YOU SO! LOL

Ralph,
thanks very much for your above help!

For sure, I saw to all this before, but I haven't connected Doc to the matter, sorry.

Hard to guess this turning, 'cause too small variation between longer and shorter radius - main problem.

BTW, in this Thanksgiving I want to thank ALSO to those that really give and share any thing.

Best!

Dear rocky,

docfeelsgood real name is on a drawing he uploaded to the public forum

Keeping everything recorded, and just returned back home yesterday from RD-Congo, I'm now able to retrieve (I hope) the picture you mentioned above. Is this the good one?

I deeply apologize. I made a confusion with AB Hammer which seems to be the author of this drawing (can he himself give tha confirmation, thanks in advance).

Yes that is one of my designs. The concept was shifting positions for the rocking weights which was to roll the weights to the point of leverage for the rocking weights to become the lifters.
