Coffee grinders? nah, nobody wants them. My 700 just sits there and looks pretty.

Don’t the exhaust fumes bother the wife? The angle of the photo almost makes it look like you converter it it internal combution or steam powered.

I should have remembered how you scrutinize everything in the background of my photos. The 1871 Edward S Clark, South Boston, steam launch engine has nothing to do with the coffee mill, except share a place to rest. Likewise, the Smith's of Derby tower clock, whose pendulum rod is visible in front of the mill, does not make the coffee at a preset time. The Carlisle Finch bipolar motor/dynamo is very much like the motors used on the motor driven Parker mills shown in their catalog.

John, Sorry Some of us highjacked your thread. The 431 is a nice sized box mill. If Allan Swanson pops in, he can comment, as he really knows his small box mills. He's in Maine now, and may not be following the forum.
