Haha that old thing just out of Hokitika where I used to live...
I would love to own it but I think it costs more to start up that the last owner made out of it.
Maybe a crowd funding effort???

Yep, its cool, very historic and archaic looking - amazing that it is still going strong.
Guess that is a testament to its simple functional design.
