I was going through my old rocketry stuff and I've got 5 Mini Max engines here, 2 of the "F10-0 Booster Only", 1 of the "F10-8 Special", and 2 of the "E1.3-6 Special" motors. I hear they have some value nowadays, who knew!

Thanks for posting the photo here, Kevin.

I saw that someone offered you a pulley for your Cineroc. That will greatly increase its value since it will be complete. The loose pressure plate is a common problem. It originally came with a piece of foam connecting it to the body of the unit. After all these years the foam deteriorates. That is easily fixed/replaced.

Yeah a guy named Dave Windsor did a couple years ago. Had a web site with just about every motor ever made. Dont know if his web site is still active. I bought about 8-10 of the motors on his site a few years ago. Maybe someone else her would know more about it.

I'll correct you before he does. It's Dale Windsor. Dale logs on here from time to time. You can PM him with the handle Dalewindsor.

My bad just remembered and came back to correct it. Thanks.

My link to Dale's website is no longer working.
There is a pretty good explanation of Rock-a-Chute motors in the Rocketeers Collectors Journal, but it is not complete as I have some estes produced Rock-a-chute motors that are not in the list.

Rock-A-Chute motors were of three main series:

1) 1/2" diameter hand packed motors made by Orville Carslile himself.

2) Brown and co . 3/4" motors.

3) ESTES produced, Rock-A-Chute labeled motors, made on the original Mabel machine.

Any Rock-A-Chute motor is very rare. Brown produced motors are even more so, and of course, the little Orville Carslile motors are the Holy Grail of motor collecting. Even spent cases of these motors have some considerable value.

GET GOONY!!

That is sooooo cooool!!!

I'm busy working on getting the motor site back up and running. Got a bunch of new stuff I'm adding. Haven't had enough time lately due to starting a new teaching gig - 5th and 6th grade science at a school for kids with learning disabilities.

But it will return. and as always, if you have photos of old motors I'd love to get a copy, especially if you have any SynerJet Reloadable hardware.
