I found this on the top o' the heap at the local scrap yard. I bought it for $100 and brought it home, plugged it in and it runs, although the Kimble system might need some work. There is no Screaming Chicken tag on this unit. However I found a number, 517 on the top of the front bed way. This, however doesn't jibe with the serial number dating chart. Maybe the bed is an early example with a later Kimble motor mounted. I found the pictured banjo at a machinery dealer but don't know if it's an Oliver.
