Stepney 2,325 #1 Posted January 3, 2020 Was talking about this little job on a OM with another member, and figured I ought to share it here. Bought it for $2.00 at a club auction last year. It's a 1946 Syntron 2 stroke jack hammer. Very heavy.. to be expected. Seems the engine and the 'hammer' share the combustion chamber, and the firing of the engine provides the thrust in both directions..? Not too sure really. It's unusual. One other seems to be floating around Youtube but little seems to be known about them. Do need to find a bit for this one.. but anyway, here she is. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turns out, according to the book I found, it uses the same bits as what are available today.. think I'll pick up a few and work on it this weekend. Everything is very clean, it may just fire up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
