Guys.........for the past few months....... ...I have had the pleasure of communicating with Jin....the principal of MICROCOSM in China

His work & devotion to model steam deserves  ....& which ultimately will allow more affordable steam components to be in the reach of more members

Thankyou Jin.........

Jin....I agree....people need to see how much oil is left or how much water needs to be drained out..........as a concept, this is very important for me

•   This is a good cost effective solution....same style & design.....just a CNC milled double sided slot + 2 sealing o-rings & a glass tube
•   Would you position the o-rings as radial or longitudinal compression? ....radial is technically a better solution
•   Maybe this should be your standard glass tubed lubricator from now on?
•   Some people prefer a fixed orifice to meter the steam oil displacement over an externally adjustable facility
•   Some people say the fixed orifice wastes oil..........
•   I am one of the people that would rather have too much steam oil in my engine than not enough
•   I am happy with the fixed orifice concept until I know better

Derek,
Yes,
My quartz glass tube lubricators 16X65MM with regulator and I think someone would need.
