Title: Merco 61 (Tom Dixon two ring special) for sale (Price reduced)
Post by: Harold Brewer on April 23, 2025, 09:40:39 PM

My Merco 61 for sale.  This is a two ring special distributed by Tom Dixon.  A clone of the Supertigre 60 and runs like one except for less vibration.  With the exception of a one tank bench run, it is NIB.  Asking $120 plus shipping.  If interested, PM me for photos.  Price reduced to $ 100 plus shipping.

Regards,

Harold Brewer

And only needs 4 Oz of fuel for the pattern. I used some of them (49-61) back in the 90´s and they performed excellent (both Dixon tuned and stock). Dixon mounted Bowman Rings, at least in mine, and have one unit with 2000 flights with the same ring  ~^

Agree with that.  Frank Bowman was a model engine's best friend.  I probably bought 100 rings from him.  He made a lot of other stuff for me too, like nylon wrist pin buttons, shims that go under the thrust washer and straighten crankshafts.   He was really a great guy.
