Hi Gábor,

Out of interest: there is no reason this pressure gauge wouldn't work equally well with the Strietman ES3, right? To my knowledge both groups are identical...?

I'm definitely interested in seeing this being produced in any capacity!


Thanks!
Nik.

Great, tell Wouter I said hi! (I have ES3 #31, and have met him a few times, including at his workshop in Eindhoven)

Looking forward to where this is going...

Kind regards,
Nik.

That is a very nice setup, very SteamPunk!

Yes, very cool! I love the copper on the pressure gauge. I want one and I don't even have a CT1 yet! :)

:-) Thanks [anonymized]. We edited this short film still with the proto type this week end. Premature :-). Production is more difficult than expected. It's never been easy ...
