Condition of the Turbine

Currently not in working order, all parts are corroded especially those exposed to water.
The condition of the bearings is unknown, however no moving parts are seized and no part is beyond repair.

Apart from the impeller, the turbine is in acceptable condition for refurbishment.
The governor is not working but appears to be repairable

Unfortunately the most important part is not only beyond repair and needs to be replaced, it is also destroyed to such a degree that the blades cannot be reproduced anymore. This means the original design and shapes are lost.
This will be addressed by manufacturing an entirely new impeller, matched by the measurements of the turbine. The turbine shaft will also need to be replaced.
