Default Where to find Stirling engine?

My Missouri brother built a model Stirling engine, and now wishes to explore owning a "full size" old Stirling. I don't really know where to look, but thought you might have an idea. He is a recently retired electrician/mechanic/welder, and can rebuild just about anything. Have you any leads/links? Thank you. I usually lurk in the Onan generator forum.

This web site is not too much involved in sterling engines. I suggest you contact Lowell or Buster. Two great guys.

They do come up on ebay from time to time. Typically 5k price range give or take. Can be a lot more, particularly on ebay. Sometime one of the big engine auctions will have a Rider Ericsson in the mix. You just have to keep an eye out. Even might see one on harrys classified. Listed under gas engines I would assume.
