You are most welcome.

Glad it worked out.!

I think Jim Koch restored a Rex mill. They were made in Anderson, close to his home town. There is a friend of mine here that was raised in Anderson. It's a small world sometimes.

Mike, where did that picture come from? The museum?

Also, if it's an Aermotor, any cast iron part will have a letter and number. Like A 602 or something. The letter is the size of the mill, the number is that part's number.

Easy on the steps until you are sure they will take your weight. They tend to slide down. Also, take an extra to the top. Looks like there's a space that could use one. No girt to step on.

Careful! Wear a safety belt or harness. You need to report back from the ground, not the hospital.

On second look, the head looks to be an Aermotor 602 model. MAde from 1916 till 1933.

Welcome! Wow, tall tower! They don't grow that tall around here. Appears to be an early Monitor tower. Not a Monitor head, I don't recognize it, but it's NOT Monitor. The head is on a stubtower, which is bolted to the tower legs. That's common. Originally, it would have had a Monitor mill on it, but...
