Vintage helicopter engine

[gmerkt]

Okay vintage rotorheads, here is a lead on a Boeing T50-BO-10 gas turbine helicopter engine.

Moderators, I don't know if this is an advertisement or not. Feel free to file it in the appropriate category. It's not something I have to sell, but a lead.

This engine is located at the Second Use store on 6th Ave. South in Seattle near the Franz bakery. It's got a price tag of $1,350 on it and looks like it's been there a while.

Could maybe build a Gryodyne Rotorcycle replica, the manned predecessor of the DASH Drone?
