Hi Fleet:

Despite the fact that our restoration, and indeed the museum itself, is currently in limbo, we are still in need of a minimum of two of these carbs for FM104. They need not be serviceable, as they will be for static display only.
The Canadian Air and Space Museum as an entity is still intact, and currently working hard to secure new premises – we hope to have some good news in that regard in the near future.
IIRC, the donor of the last carb, which was in about the same shape as the one shown in your photos, was given a tax receipt for CAD$1000.
Please PM me if this sounds like something you would consider.

Best Regards,

Joe

Hello All

In my collection I have a Stromberg injection carburetor for the RR Merlin as used in the Lanc mk X
It is great condition with no damage but would I assume require o/haul as it has been stored for many years
Can anyone advise me as to its approx value ?
I am considering letting it go to a museum for either a trade item or tax receipt

Thanks in advance
