From the article:

"Larkin, 73 acquired the units in the 1980s and has kept them in indoor storage ever since. He also acquired Baldwin prime movers and other parts in the event the units were ever restored, but says the cost of rebuilding them would be significant. 'But they are protected and out of the weather. They are inside so they are not further deteriorating.'"
