Demonized
« on: May 06, 2021, 02:03:07 pm »
Am quite stoked, as well as a bit saddened by the initial reason for this opportunity.

I was fortunate enough that Andrew upon my inquiry, decided to let Geoff´s old testbed 20 go.
It arrived here today, accompanied by the wellknown OzsteamDemon Jackshaft/Transmission, a "demonized" gauge-whistle-outlet-manifold, and a neat little DEMON tag on top that Andrew got made for the engine.

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Besides being desirable for its history, the engine should fit right in here, as i already have Geoff´s Jensen 95 testbed turbine, which i purchased shortly before his much too early departure.
Furthermore the engine also ads another Jensen 20 valvegland version here, having solely screws and no rivets to plug the steamchest.

Andrew, thanks for giving me the chance to be the proud custodian of these items, much appreciated my friend!
Cheers
Jan

Congratulations Jan .... you are a perfect repository for such Historic material, and I for one am glad to know it now lives with you!

I have no doubt you'll make excellent use of them!!

Andrew is a truly fine fellow, and I'm sure he also fully appreciates where these nostalgic items now reside!!!
