Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's annual 1994 audited consolidated financial
statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of
financial position as of September 30, 1995 and the results of operations for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994; and cash flows for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and the statement of changes
in partners' capital (deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

Certain amounts in the 1994 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the 1995 presentation.

The following significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1994,
which require disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01,
Paragraph (a)(5).

	Sale of Cranes

        In January and May 1995, the Partnership sold one DSC Venture crane and
        one SFN crane, the proceeds of which were used to reduce the
        Partnership's debt:

Part 1, Item 2   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                 and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 1995, the Partnership and its consolidated venture and
subsidiary's cash and cash equivalents balance totaled $1,110,602, a decrease
of $105,133 from December 31, 1994.  The decrease is attributed to principal
payments made on long-term debt exceeding cash flow from operating activities
and proceeds from the sales of cranes during the first nine months of 1995.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partners believe that the
Partnership has adequate cash reserves at DSC Venture ("DSC"), the
Partnership's 99% subsidiary, and Partnership levels to support operations and
the amortization of debt for the near term.  However, there can be no assurance
that existing operating levels can be maintained and that these cash reserves
will be adequate in either the near or long term.  The adequacy of the current
cash position will be affected by matters over which the Partnership and its
managers have little control.  This includes market conditions which affect the
utilization and rental rates at which the Partnership's assets are leased.

At September 30, 1995, construction cranes at cost totaled $16,548,306 as
compared to $17,436,077 at December 31, 1994.  The decrease is due to the sale
of one DSC crane during the first quarter of 1995 and the sale of one SFN
Corporation ("SFN") crane during the second quarter of 1995.  The net selling
price of the DSC crane was $653,250, resulting in a gain of $426,699 in the
first quarter of 1995.  The net selling price of the SFN crane was $659,427,
and a resulting gain of $334,345 was recognized during second quarter of 1995.
The proceeds from these sales were used to reduce the Partnership's debt. 

Loans payable were $5,100,785 at September 30, 1995 compared to $7,047,335 at
December 31, 1994.  The $1,946,550 decrease is attributable to principal
payments made on the Partnership's debt in part utilizing the proceeds from the
crane sales discussed above.

Results of Operations
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 the Partnership
generated a net loss of $269,329 and net income of $182,845, respectively, as
compared to net income of $498,197 and $427,635 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1994.  The change from net income to net loss for the
three-month period is primarily due to a $516,451 gain recognized on the sale
of three DSC Venture cranes in July and August of 1994, a decrease in rental
revenue and an increase in rental expense.  The decrease in net income for the
nine-month period is mainly due to a decrease in rental revenue and an increase
in general, selling and administrative expenses, partially offset by the gains
recognized on the sales of cranes during the first and second quarters of 1995
discussed above. 

Rental revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995
decreased compared to the same periods in 1994 primarily due to the sale of
five cranes since mid-1994.  Dayton-Scott Equipment Company, the fleet's
operational manager, expects rental revenues to remain relatively steady
through the remainder of 1995 as a result of stable utilization and rental
rates.  There can be no assurance, however, that either utilization rates or
rental rates will remain steady.

Rental expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995
increased compared to the same periods in 1994 primarily as a result of a
increases in certain repairs and maintenance expenses net of on-site servicing
of cranes by Dayton-Scott that are typically charged back to crane lessees.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, general, selling and
administrative expenses were $432,128 and $1,395,241, respectively, compared to
$373,013 and $1,123,196 for the corresponding periods in 1994.  The increases
in both periods are primarily due to an accrual for SFN consulting and salary
expenses during the second and third quarters of 1995 and to increases in
non-recurring office expenses.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995
decreased from the same periods in 1994 due to interest being calculated on
lower outstanding principal balances on the Partnership's debt resulting from
principal repayments made over the past year.
