Just about every whistle I get needs to be restored.
It's actually pretty fun to play around and see what comes out of it.

This is a B&A five
chime that I have the people at Cass to thank for helping me out with
rebuilding the fins on it.
You can see the before and
after shots. All I need is a handle.
This is the middle of the process before I painted it
and cleaned the brass.

Here is quite possibly the
most beautiful 3 chime I have ever heard. You can ask anybody up at
Cass.
This particular whistle
originally came from the Hudson Pulp and Paper mill, which was located
on the Kennebec River, almost directly across the river from the state
capital of Maine in the city of Augusta.
The whistle was operated
off the main plant steam boiler usually with 150psi saturated steam. I
tested it on #200 on the Shay at Cass and it is great.

I went to Cass this
weekend, and recorded this whistle for your enjoyment, please listen up.
