Gasparin CO2 motors

[g_kandylakis]

It is bound to come up as a question: Where can one buy a new CO2 motor?

Well, the answer is not easy in terms of variety.

As far as I know there is only one source for CO2 motors (of any make).

Old Engine Model Supply in the Czech Republic

Apparently the owner took over production of the Gasparin motors, following Stefan Gasparin;s death a few years ago.

He is offering a full range starting from the very smallest to the largest multi cylinder ones. Plus spare part packs, a neat idea.

He is known to be somewhat slow when it comes to commubnication and deliveries sometines, but has proven to be 100% reliable with not a single complaint ever expressed on facebook.

I am of course not at all connected to him or the company, it is just he is the only source I know of.

The other option is eBay, where CO2 motors frequently turn up. Of varying condition and prices, most of my collection came from there, especially the Brown ones.
Beware of some ridicoulusly high prices some people ask for though!

And if living in the US and close to swap meets or bazaars, keep your eyes open for the rest of us...
