I was visiting an old dredge museum in eastern Oregon last week, and saw
in the yard there a small motor made by Vaughan Motor Works in Portland,
Oregon.  Since I live in Portland, I am thinking I would like to find one
of these.  I find no information on it by doing internet searches, other
than some photos of a unit at a museum in Australia.  Does anyone have
any information on one of these, or does anyone have one of these in
restorable condition that they would be willing to part with?  
Also, I am going to an auction south of me where there is a motor made by
Mitchell, Lewis, & Staver, again of Portland, Oregon.  I am looking for
the same information on that motor, as well as an estimate of what would
be an acceptable price to bid on it.  It does not run, does not turn, but
looks to be all there.  It is painted orange, but I do not know if that
is original or not.  I do not know the model, but the flywheel is about 2
to 3 feet in diameter, it is a single piston motor, and it has the CI
water tank on it.
