This little Hit Miss sat in my garage for at least 15 years. It belonged to my father in law who took it to shows. I dont know much about these, but it turns over and seems to have free linkage and compression. There are some 9 volt cells in the wooden box that I assume he used to fire the mag or possibly start it. I’m in Joliet IL. About a mile from Chicagoland Speedway.
