looks new Nick , certainly a funky looking steam plant, I hope you store it in a "lead" lined container so as not to expose your family to radiation...lol

I keep it next to my Linemar and AB Alga John Ericsson to multiply the effect  :D  You haven't met the newest addition that my wife was carrying at NAMES... he has three arms, should come in "handy" for all the brass I have to polish  :D :D

I’m kind of picky when it comes to tin base Jensens, but this is one that I would love to have in my collection. Great example, Nick!

I don’t think there are many of these floating around.

I think Nick, Bruce and Gil own one.

Any others?

I've really never "liked" the Jensen 90, as it looks more like a Rube Goldberg mystery machine rather than an Atomic Steam Plant of any form.

But not really liking it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I'd truly LOVE to have one in my humble collection!

Nice one Nick, you should be both happy and proud to show that rare bird around!!!
