Thanks Henry, I really like how complex these old machines are. The more I learn about them the more I realize how much engineering goes into one.

Neil, I just got a 1950's Unit repair manual that has great photos and documentation but, there are no measurements at all... so, all the measurements you took were very helpful. I calculated all of your numbers to 1/16 scale and my prototype boom & stick are a little over sized but, not by much. When you get the cab roof to floor measurement We'll see how close the Doepke toy actually is to 1/16.

Thanks Dan, I decided to make the rotate chain drive too, using #25 chain. It will be easy to setup and it should be very reliable. I just ordered the sprockets for the rotate setup today.
