NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  financial  statements presented herein are  prepared  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles  and  the
instructions  for  preparing  Form  10-Q  under  Rule   10-01   of
Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission  and  are
unaudited.  As such, these financial statements do not include all
information  and  footnote  disclosures required  under  generally
accepted  accounting principles for complete financial  statements
and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements should  be
read  in  conjunction  with the footnotes presented  in  the  1994
Annual  Report.   Except as disclosed herein, there  has  been  no
material  change to the information presented in the footnotes  to
the 1994 Annual Report.

     Beginning  July  1, 1994, the General Partner  initiated  the
liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with the Amended  and
Restated  Agreement  and Certificate of Limited  Partnership  (the
"Restated  Agreement,  as  amended"). Accordingly,  the  financial
statements herein for the six months ended          June 30,  1995
have been prepared on a liquidation basis of accounting.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting  of
normal  and recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present
fairly  the  Partnership's net assets in liquidation at  June  30,
1995  and  December  31,  1994,  its  changes  in  net  assets  in
liquidation for the six months ended June 30, 1995, its results of
operations  for the three and six months ended June 30,  1994  and
its  cash  flows for the six months ended June 30, 1994 have  been
made and are reflected.

NOTE 2 - CASH

     At  June  30, 1995, the Partnership had $175,000 invested  in
reverse  repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury  Bills  or
interests in U.S. Government securities.

NOTE 3 - REVENUE RECOGNITION

     All  of  the  Partnership's primary and  renewal  leases  had
expired  and  all  of  the associated equipment  was  sold  as  of
December 31, 1994.  No future rents are due.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    All operating expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by
American  Finance Group ("AFG") on behalf of the  Partnership  and
AFG  is reimbursed at its actual cost for such expenditures.  Fees
and other costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 1995
and 1994, which were paid or accrued by the Partnership to AFG  or
its Affiliates, are as follows:

                                          1995         1994

    Equipment management fees               --     $    7,225
    Reimbursable operating expenses
      due to third parties          $   24,773          6,000
    Administrative charges               7,704         71,760

              Total                 $   32,477     $   84,985


      All  rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment were paid
directly  to either AFG or to a lender. AFG temporarily  deposited
collected  funds  in  a separate interest bearing  escrow  account
prior to remittance to the Partnership.   The Partnership was owed
no such funds at June 30, 1995.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.

Overview

     On July 1, 1994, the General Partner initiated the liquidation
of  the  Partnership.   The Partnership was organized  in  1986  to
acquire  and lease a diversified portfolio of capital equipment  to
third-party  lessees  and  to  distribute  the  net  proceeds  from
operating  and  remarketing activities, after satisfaction  of  all
expenses  and  debt  service obligations,  to  the  Partners.   The
Partnership  was  capitalized with $20,221,250 of equity  from  the
Limited Partners and $50,000 of equity from the General Partner and
acquired $34,595,921 of equipment, subject to related indebtedness.
All  of the Partnership's equipment has been sold.  Dissolution  of
the Partnership is anticipated on or before September 30, 1995.

Results of Operations

     The  Statement  of  Changes in Net Assets  in  Liquidation  is
presented for the six months ended       June 30, 1995 and reflects
the  liquidation  of  assets during the period.   As  a  result,  a
comparison between current and prior year reporting periods is  not
meaningful.

     For the period ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership recognized
$8,415  of  interest income generated from the temporary investment
of    cash.    Operating   expenses   consisted   principally    of
administrative charges, professional service costs, such  as  audit
and  legal  fees,  as  well as printing and distribution  expenses.
These charges amounted to $32,477 during the period ended June  30,
1995.   The  Partnership  will continue  to  incur  accounting  and
administrative costs until the Partnership is dissolved.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Partnership  will have limited cash  activities  for  the
remainder  of  its  existence.   Prior  to  its  dissolution,  cash
transactions  are expected to result from the receipt  of  interest
income  on  short-term  investments and the  payment  of  operating
expenses,  discussed above.  At June 30, 1995, the Partnership  had
$179,206  of  cash,  substantially all of  which  was  invested  in
interest-bearing  investments.   See  Note  2  to   the   financial
statements herein.

    In the third quarter of 1995, the General Partner will initiate
an  action of dissolution and transfer all undistributed cash  held
by  the Partnership at the date of dissolution into a trust account
(the Trust Account) established and maintained solely to satisfy
expenses  of  the Partnership during the wind-down period  and  any
other  liabilities  of the Partnership which  may  arise.   To  the
extent  that the balance of the Trust Account exceeds the  ultimate
liabilities of the Partnership, the General Partner will distribute
such  remaining balance to the beneficiaries of the Trust  Account,
which  beneficiaries will consist of the General  Partner  and  the
Limited  Partners  in  accordance with their respective  percentage
ownership interests in the Partnership as at the dissolution  date.
At  June  30,  1995, the Partnership had net assets of $169,499  or
$2.07 per limited partnership unit.

     For  the  six  months  ended June 30,  1995,  the  Partnership
declared  total distributions of $204,255.  In accordance with  the
Restated Agreement, as amended, the Limited Partners were allocated
99% of these distributions, or $202,212 and the General Partner was
allocated  1%,  or $2,043.  Since  inception, the  Partnership  has
distributed $21,002,832 to the Limited Partners and $212,150 to the
General Partner.

    Cash distributions paid to the Limited Partners consist of both
a  return  of  and  a return on capital.  To the extent  that  cash
distributions   consist  of  Cash  From  Sales   or   Refinancings,
substantially all of such cash distributions should be viewed as  a
return of capital.  Cash distributions do not represent and are not
indicative of yield on investment.  Actual yield on investment will
be  determined coincident with the final cash distribution  payment
to the Partners.
