Brass tag Jensen #35 "restored" runs well, "SOLD"
« on: February 21, 2024, 11:54:39 am »
Hi folks.
here we have a 1947-51 Jensen #35 brass tag steam engine that I have gone through completely. the firebox & chimney stand have been bead blasted & repainted with a lacquer black paint; I rebuilt the sight glass & cleaned it thoroughly & installed a new glass tube & seals, I filed the cylinder block down to a near perfectly flat surface to mate up with the steam chest. the vintage heater was in very good condition & works well. the sight glass seals are swelling up with only one drop leaked while filming this video. has a new SPS aluminum chimney (thicker than stock) $125 +$15 shipping, PM me if interested,  Bruce

Thank you, I particularly like the Brass taggers, Tom Sr. Was in his prime then & I believe they were better built/ made. Plus the dies weren't worn out yet.
