Thought that ya'll might like to see my latest find.
A man gave me a call needing to get an old 520 out of his basement. Just wanted it gone, out of his way. So I obliged. Since I'm still outta state, I had my rebuilder Rich go over to pull it out. Rich called me a couple days later and he said it was the biggest efm520 that he had ever seen! Turns out to be an AP1300 saved from eradication!!
Most of the stoker parts are there but the base is going to need a bit of work unless I can find or get a new one made for it. Anyone just happen to have any unused 1300 bases laying around?
As these aren't all that common, I'll share more pics of it as it gets closer to coming to life.
Saved From the Scrap Heap!!!

CS,
I intend to refurbish it as I would love to see it restored and running, but one just never knows!
It is a beautiful plate boiler w/ an S45 stoker that looks like a beast.
